Preach, Teach, and Baptize
Hello everyone….wow, I recieved some pretty crazy news today. I
haven’t been able to check e-mail in 2 long weeks and BAM…everything
is happening! Congrats to Gordon and Christi and various others, plus
aparently, Crystal is getting close…sounds really crazy!
This last week has been alright…I will recieve another companion in
about a week..which should help improve things. Nothing against Elder
Baird, he’s way cool to hang out with, but as we all know those
missionaries that are about to head home don’t usually have their
whole heart into it…if you know what I mean. I am doing my best to
stay busy though. We had a good night last Monday (taught an exciting
3 times) and then on Tuesday, I went on exchanges in Burlington and I
had a great time with Elder Hinde (who is like 6 foot 6, 300 pounds).
We taught like 9 times, it was unbelievable…Burlington is one of the
best Spanish areas…and that’s for real! But back in Henderson,
Elder Baird got sick and I accidently took the car keys, so they
didn’t have any transportation! Haha…Anyways, Wednesday, we all met
up in Raleigh for Zone Conference. It was alright…never been a fan
of zone conference…usually, the lunch is the highlight..but it was
just boring spaghetti. Also, our Zone Leaders did a workshop…it was
downright awful.
On Thursday, we finally put the Lopez’ minivan back together. We
spent about 10 hours fixing the problem, plus we pitched in to buy the
parts for them. So, they got the minivan back, but the very next day,
Friday, Luis got into an accident in the other car…so, now they are
back down to one. On Friday, we had fun doing medias, taught a sweet
lady and then we had pizzas at the Owens and then went on
full-exchanges. I went with a spanish guy and Elder Baird with an
english member…it was a lot of fun. Saturday was way fun…we went
shopping with Bob and then we went down to Chapel Hill with the
Bentleys to Stake Conference session for adults. That was fun, they
took us to a chinese restaurant before. Then on Sunday, we went with
Bob to Stake Conference…that was a lot of fun. We went down in the
Motorhome..got there 2 hours early and then Bob fed all of the
missionaries. Stake conference itself was alright..although hardly
anyone came from our Branch! Attendance was very weak.
We are going to do super good this upcoming week…I can just feel
it…we are going to preach, teach and baptize!
With Love,
Elder Hardy
