Week 4 - Warner Robins, GA

Dear Family,

We had a week of super hard work.  We have been putting like at least 6-7 miles on our bike every day.  There was one day this week we had to bike 17 miles for 2 appointments.  So I am very thankful I ran track because I have put my legs through a whole lot of work out here doing missionary work!  We have been able to get a lot of work done and meet a lot of new people.  We still struggle to get investigators to church in this area. 

On Saturday we did a service project in Macon with the American Red Cross installing fire detectors in people's homes.  The first home we went into was INFESTED with cockroaches and spiders.  The family had 3 little little kids.  I couldn't understand how anyone could live like that, let alone let their kids live like that.

Yesterday we had missionaries from a different church come knock on our door right after we got home.  They showed us a video from their church that had clips from OUR church bible videos.  I realized that the Biblical prophecies about false Christs arising in the last days are coming true. Which gave me some fire to go and teach the people of Warner Robins the true gospel so they won’t be deceived.

Unfortunately, yesterday while riding bikes I biffed it and ate road in my suit pants.  Thankfully I have another pair, but the other ones are shredded.  I decided I'm not biking in suit pants anymore.  I love you all so much!

Love,

Elder Hinrichs
