G'day Everybody!
It's only been a few days since I emailed last so there's not a
lot to report. This was a crazy week. Church this Sunday was really
good. We biked there in the morning and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
Attended ward council, had a great sacrament meeting, and got asked
last minute to teach the YSA Sunday school class. After the third hour
it started raining. One elder had a poncho so we all gave him our
scriptures to put in his bag and then we headed off. My companion got
back to the flat and realized the other two elders weren't behind us. We
waited a few minutes then decided to go back to find them, just in case
someone had crashed or something. We met them on their way to the flat
and Elder Bird's tire had gone flat. We went ahead and started biking
back home. On the way there is a pretty good hill with a giant speed
bump at the bottom with a smooth part that is slick when wet. I was
probably going a little too fast for the weather conditions, and when I
hit the bump at the bottom of the hill my wheel jerked as it hit the
slick part and knocked the handlebars out of my grip. I seemed to fall
over in slow motion and I sort of landed on my hip and my elbow and then
bounced onto my back. I did have my helmet on so I didn't hurt my head,
but my shirt and my garment top didn't fair so well.
I guess every missionary has to have at least one good stack
on their mission and I hadn't yet. Hopefully it's the only one I'll
have. I'm OK, aside from some road rash on my elbow and back and a sore
hip, neck, back and shoulders. She'll be alright mate.
This week will be fast. There's lots going on. Transfers will
be next Tuesday, so I won't email again until then. I'm looking forward
to finally getting our mail at Zone Conference on Thursday! I hope all
is well in good ol' Middleton!
Here are a few pictures of me just after I stacked it.
Have a great week everybody! I love you!
Elder Thieme
