Yes another week is gone. They just fly by. I'm still loving life and having a great time. Temple seems to be a good place. It is weird to think I've almost been here for two weeks. General Conference kept me from meeting the ward for an entire week, and then this coming Sunday we have stake conference. Before I know it another transfer will have flown by and I'll have a new companion. Things are moving crazy fast.
Our area is a little rough. We cover the entire city of Temple and we're on bikes. I really don't think it'd be that big of deal, however there are not a lot of sidewalks and the streets we travel seem to be busy all of the time. We have been doing a lot of walking, which slows us down a bit. It also gives us a lot of street contacting opportunities.
There is a huge hospital and a medical school in town. It seems like about a third of the people in the ward are either med students or residents. It is kind of fun having so many return missionaries to work with. They are good about feeding us and we have exchanges almost every night.
We have a baptismal date with the 16 yer old kid that made it out to one session of conference. We also set a date with another individual that attended two sessions. The man that attended for all five sessions is a really good guy, but he is still stuck on some of his old Baptist doctrines.
I'm not a district leader this transfer. I'm pretty grateful. That sure seemed to keep me super busy and on the phones every night. I'm follow up training Elder Bevan. I have to be careful with my words around him because he is easily offended. I was asking him questions and then playing devil's advocate just for the sake of conversation this weekend. Apparently he felt I was being really rude and didn't talk to me until I had apologized. I'm trying real hard to keep off his toes. I'm sure we'll get along great if I can keep from being a tease.
Love Y'all,
Elder Rindlisbacher
