Lead the Zone
Okay, well this should be a shorter letter, because the library is closed and we are doing e-mail at the Owen’s house and they have dial-up, so it was super slow opening up all of the e-mails. So, I’ll run through the week, with the big highlights…and they are BIG highlights.
So, on Tuesday, we drove down to Durham to have interviews…it took us about 45 minutes to get down there and we had to wait about 10 minutes for everyone to arrive. We were the first to be interviewed and it only took like 10 minutes for both of us. President was really just happy with us, cause we lead the zone in baptisms in 2006 with 15 here in Henderson. He was pleased with all of the work. So, we were out of the building in max of 15 minutes and we headed back up to Henderson. Once there, we had exchanges with the big bad AP’s…one of which happens to be my old companion from the MTC, Elder Scribner. I went with him, and it was the first real time we got to talk since September of 2005. He is a good missionary and speaks spanish like a native. We had a greeat time. We tried to set a baptismal date with Lenny, but it didn’t work out…isn’t ready yet. But Elder Ferons and Elder Franco set a baptismal date with the Lopez family!! For the 27th of this month…family consists of the parents Luis and Orfelia and their 9 year old son, Alberto. They are super sweet, we had been teaching them for a couple months, without much progression, but they had a bad experience that helped them have more faith.
Also, with Alfreda, we set another date for the 3rd of February. She wasn’t at church and had another lame excuse, so I’m not so sure of that. But, after church on Sunday, we set yet another baptismal date with a 19 year older member referell, Alfi. He decided he also wanted to be baptized….for the 3rd of February. So, we had 3 scheduled for Jan. 27th, and 2 for Feb 3rd….so that is 5 in all….I’m really having success here in Henderson.
That is all,
Elder Hardy
