Whats
Crackin Ya´ll?!
Hello there
everyone, thank you again for the email! Just so you know, even though I can't
reply to every point, I always print it off and think it over throughout the
week. So I really do think of you all tons out here!
This week
has been so amazing. Holy. I have so much that I could write, but I need to
choose carefully because there would never be enough time. So maybe I will give
quick overviews again, because I know its fun to hear about everything.
We visited
a 19 year girl named... who just had her 2nd baby.
Beautiful little girl, so amazing to see little new babies. Perfect opportunity
to teach a little of the gospel too, so we were able to teach a little about
where that little life came from. Such a blessing for us.
We went to
Inca one day for district meeting! The day before a man dressed in a suit
stabbed someone I believe....and we got stopped by the police and had to give
our identity!!! Hahaha it was crazy.
We had
intercambios this week, and Elder Soumarrett from Inca came here to be with me.
We rocked it. It was a day with blessings like none other. Everything worked
out, and I taught better than I ever have I believe, I just followed the spirit
so well. One story from that day is when we went to visit a family. When we
arrived there, we realized it was their whole family of about 15 people. All
drunk. But I felt like we should go in anyways. Long story short, they asked us
tons of questions about us, that drunk people would ask. But we stayed calm and
bore testimony to them. As we prayed, the spirit entered the room so strong.
For some reason, we started talking about tithing! I then bore my testimony of
the rough time we went through as a family a few years back. I got quite emotional, especially as I talked about
mom having cancer! Then, a woman in the room got emotional. She explained that
her daughter died of cancer just months ago. She was touched by the spirit so
strongly. THEN days later, we ran into that same woman, and she invited us
over. We taught her an incredible lesson, that she will see her daughter again.
There is no greater joy than sharing that knowledge with people. I love the
miracles we see here when we are obedient.
Also we had
a fun campfire night (fireside type lesson), roasted meat, cut wood, the manly stuff. There was a girl
there who was a Jehovah's witness, but we ended up giving her a Book of Mormon.
Success.
One last
thing! THERE ARE PARTIES IN THE STREETS HERE ALL THE TIME. IT'S CRAZY. haha I
love it, the culture here is incredible. I can even understand about half of
the Mallorquin language!
Anyways, I
love you all. Big hugs to everyone! Make sure you stay safe, and warm in this
weather!
From your
island elder,
Elder Hardy
We had a fun fireside type
lesson, and I cut some wood for the fire, got a little crazy.
A family here that we teach, they are "hittanos"
or gypsies as people say!
