Since Elder Gannaway had his little injury, Elder Hancock and I have been on bikes for the past 2 weeks straight, plus we will be on bikes this upcoming week as well. It's not too bad, to be completely honest, but our roads here aren't very biker friendly. I've been getting in shape a little more though so I guess that's good.
Aside from that, Elder Hancock got pretty sick so we didn't really get around to doing too much this week. Although I do have one fun story. Elder Hancock's bike broke (he's currently borrowing Elder MacDonald's) and so we decided to walk to our appointment that we had. Our appointment was at 7:30 PM and was 2.2 miles away. We decided to walk there because we couldn't get a member to drive us so we left the house at around 6:40. After a pretty treacherous walk with no sidewalks and it getting increasingly darker every minute we finally arrived at our appointment, only to find out that they had canceled on us. They wouldn't answer the door, but we heard the TV going on inside. We then had to walk back the 2 miles in the pitch dark, so it was a pretty sketchy walk. (We weren't in a very good neighborhood). Now basically what I'm getting at is even though we had to do that sketchy walk in the dark and not even get to teach the person who made the appointment, we still needed to go to it. Even though we could have just stayed home and slept a few extra hours, we still had to go to that appointment. We needed to give that person the opportunity to make the decision to let us in or keep us outside. If we were just to stay home, that would have been on us. Every person deserves the opportunity to make the choice to accept or reject Jesus Christ and his gospel.
Alright that's about it from me this week. I miss you all and hope you all have a wonderful week.
Love,
Elder Christensen
