Yesterday, we went up to Wald and worked with the brethren there. The whole day as filled with interesting events. First, a member of the Church here, repaired my Moped enough that I could ride it to Wald, but the bike would always slip out of gear. Anyway, we made it to Wald. The area there was pretty nice in my opinion because it had never been worked out too much. That evening my companion and Brother Frehner’s companion, Elder Nielson, took the motor bikes and went to Uetikon to catch a few old referrals. So that evening, Elder Frehner and I went and worked in Wald. I had the opportunity to give the first conclusion of the first discussion which was a lot of fun with a little anguish. Anyway, we got back and waited for Gubler and Frehner to return. At 11pm I climbed in Frehner’s bed0expecting that my bike probably broke down. Well, at 11:30pm Frehner is waking me up. He tells me that my bike had a flat tire down in Rapperswil and he had ridden up on Elder Gubler’s. Handing me the heavy clothing and saying “Auf Wiedersehen” (goodbye). Boy!! It was a cool night going home. It has been raining for about three days straight now. It seems much like winter to me. Perhaps, we would have fall.
