Howdy friends!
Guess what! I found me a bike. How do I look? There is an amazing trail here called the Monon Trail. That’s right Monon. It is about 20 miles long and goes through the city of Carmel where I happen to live. It is mostly flat terrain here so that is a plus and the trail is paved and marked for walkers, roller skaters and bikes. I have been walking home from the office at least 3 to 4 times a week (about 2.5 miles) and one of the missionaries that is departing this next transfer gave me his bike. Suppose to be a 24 gear bike but only one works in the rear and two in the front. But it’s good enough for me.
I went on a six mile ride this morning and have been doing 2 to 3 after dinner some nights. It is almost summer here and stays light now till almost 9 pm. Fantastic. The weather is starting to be really nice too. I even bought clothes line and clothes pins and have an outside dryer now in the car port.
Well, I Mothers Day brought my half way point here. It is going so fast. I also am looking forward to November because I already bought my plane ticket to Germany. I will be spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and most of January there. Upon returning, I will land in St. Louis for a while with Elizabeth and Royal. They are only 15 mins from a Temple and I have a years worth of missing that place to make up.
Please write soon. Letters really are a missionaries life line.
Happy as always! ME!
