Week 10 - Nashville, GA

Dear Family,

Both Elder Hatch and I are staying here in Nashville!!!  Funny thing is that no one in our District got transferred.  Elder Evans went home to Idaho on Sunday, and Sister An is going back to the Temple Square mission.  So this next transfer will be great!  This will be Elder Hatch's last transfer, so we are going to make the most of it!  Elder Hatch and I cover a big area which includes: Nashville, Adel, Ray City, Sparks, Cecil, Lenox, Alapaha, Enigma, and all the wide open space in between.  Both Valdosta Elders cover north and south of Valdosta.  The Sisters cover the YSA Ward.  And the senior couple are military relations and work with all the people on the military base.  Our investigators are doing well.  We mostly did some solid work with less-active members this week.  

Fishing down here is on fire because it is spawning season!  You can literally cast in your line for 10 seconds and have a fish on!  Most of them are small fish but they are loads of fun to catch.  We had dinner with an investigator of ours and we asked him how the fishing was.  He said he had a bad day of fishing and only caught 53 fish!?  He said on a good day you can pull out 200 fish from the river he fishes!  We actually found this less active guy and he has two ponds behind his house and loves fishing, and we have an investigator we are hoping to fish with on Tuesday that is ready for baptism. I am so glad I was called to the South and have the opportunity to multiply my talents!  I am so thankful for the Atonement of the Savior and I know the power it has in people's lives.

I love you all so much!!

Love,

Elder Hinrichs
