[No need. Elder C's bishop kindly sent me this picture the day he arrived.]
Oak Ridge is a pretty interesting place. There is a lot of top secret stuff that goes on down here, so lots of members have security clearances that don't allow them to talk about certain things; it's pretty crazy!
Being on a bike really isn't so bad. There are a ton of hills here so it makes it really hard to go up hill, so we usually just get a ride into an area, and then walk around it for a few hours and then get a ride somewhere else, or just walk. Elder Mueller's bike was broken until Saturday anyways and we ended up spending most of Saturday watching conference.
[The bishop invited the elders over to his house between conference sessions.]
The people here in Oak Ridge are pretty nice. I've really loved all the people I've met so far. Oh, one cool thing that happened this week: I bumped into our bishop and he looked weirdly familiar to me. He then took a picture of me and proceeded to send it to my Mom. This all seemed so familiar and I eventually figured out that our Bishop was the first member I ever met when I got to Tennessee! Right after we landed at the airport (before we even met our mission president or any of the other missionaries) this guy came up to us, took our picture, and sent it to our families. It was a really cool experience. So now the first member I meet on my mission will also be the last one that I see on my mission; it's pretty crazy!
We met a guy named Mike that we started teaching and he is pretty solid. He's in the middle of making some major changes in his life and he is excited to come to church next Sunday. I can't wait to see what kind of miracles Elder Mueller and I see here in Oak Ridge.
I miss all of Y'all!
Elder Christensen
