I will give you the much anticipated news that you have been waiting for: I will remain in Phenix City for another transfer, and I will be training a new missionary! I am excited to be given the opportunity to train for the fourth transfer in a row! I love new missionaries because they are so willing to work!
The weather
has been good and we have been sharing the new "He is the Gift" with
everyone. I really hope you all have
watched it because it is powerful every time I watch it. I will be excited to hear about your stories
when you pass out those pass along cards that I told you about in the Ensign. We have been teaching a few people here and
there but nothing too solid. I think
this transfer I will see more success. We ride our bikes maybe 10 miles a day. We try to keep biking to a minimum because of
the big hills here in Phenix City. The
members are really awesome and they said they were going to make a missionary
Christmas care package for us!
As for the
gun story, Elder Porchatis was surprised it happened but it was almost so
surreal to our minds that we just didn't know how to react. When the time is right, I will tell you all of
other cool spiritual stories that I have. But I can't ever forget the calm that I felt,
and having a defining moment where I could clearly identify the Holy Ghost
without a doubt in my mind.
I love y'all so much and I
hope you can share the Christmas spirit this season!
Love,Elder Hinrichs
