Another week has flown by. It was fairly uneventful again. We are still struggling to find people to teach, which translates into a lot of tracting. We are also trying to be consistent at following up with the people that we've found and given Book of Mormons to. Every once in a while we will find someone that's interested, but tracting doesn't seem to be very effective. We keep on rollin along though.
This week is hot. It is supposed to be over 100 degrees for over a week, and the humidity isn't relenting. Fast Sunday was pretty rough. A combination of not eating and being in the heat left me filling pretty sick that evening, but everything was better after a big glass of water and a good nights rest. I purchased a camelback a month or so ago when my old backpack broke and if I put Ice in it I can have cold water for 5 hours or so.
On Tuesday evening we didn't have a member to come out with us. So we rode our bikes to our dinner appointment and then afterwards we planned on stopping by some people. The first person let us in and we had a good visit. However he essentially told us he had no plans on reading the Book of Mormon for now. Hopefully we planted a seed. After we left we were riding our bikes along, and my companions tire caught the lip of the concrete and he took a hard spill. One of his handlebars hit him in the hip. When we got back to the apartment it was pretty swollen and now it has a football size bruise around it. It might slow us down for a couple of days, but he doesn't seem to worried about it. We've talked to mission medical and it'll all work out. Elder Whittier sure is a trooper though.
We had our first Zone conference with the new president yesterday. In preparation he had us do a lot of reading about the atonement. The zone conference was great. He is an amazing teacher. I think we were all uplifted and if we apply what he taught we will be better teachers and people. We also watched some video documentary that the church has put together called The District 2. They follow 4 companionships and then put a bunch of the clips together. It was filmed in the San Diago mission. Aside from it making me really miss California it was great. It kind of made us all take a step back and think about our teaching.
I'm still learning a lot and working hard. It will be interesting to see what kind of person I am when I get home. I love y'all keep writing.
Love,
Elder Rindlisbacher
Have fun at the reunion. Tell everyone that I love them and would love to hear from them. I'm happy to respond to any mail I get. :)~
