Hey there Hardy Clan!
Well this is some crazy news. Thank you for all of the
details, it's hard not knowing these things. I found out by seeing a newspaper
here about it all...for the past few days it's been on the front cover, so I only see
crazy pictures. Anyways, I'm happy you are all safe. Stay that way. I love you
all so much, and I think about all of you individually. haha Chad I remember
how much it sucks to have DAYS of work just ruined by nature. Most annoying
thing on this earth. ahh crazy crazy crazy. I'll be keeping everyone in my prayers,
especially Rob Nelson's family. That is unbelievably devastating. I hope his family will
be comforted in knowing that they will be together again. Times like these are
when the gospel really can be a strength. Use these humbling circumstances as
an opportunity to share the happy message that we know to be true.
Well lets see what things I can update you guys on...mostly
everything has been pretty typical. Or as typical as missionary life can be. I
am used to being stared down, fingered, simply stared at, ignored, yelled at,
and every other thing. I am beginning to love it though ;) haha It all makes it
worth it when that one prepared soul makes that decision to have a real talk
with you and shows real interest in the church. We teach ESL classes, and the
people who come are beautiful in spirit. I love seeing how humble they are, I
can relate, learning a language is tough! And being humble is one
characteristic of someone ready to accept the gospel! One time I had a guy kind
of ask if I could talk with him for a bit. he said "The real reason I came
to these classes is to know more about your church." It was golden! That
gave me an opportunity to talk to him about it, and leave him with a Book of
Mormon! I just love people who are actually interested in hearing our message.
Mom I miss your cooking ;) hahaha We are so dirt poor out
here...making a good meal just is barely realistic. I love going to members
houses though, the Spanish culture is so kind, they never let you leave hungry.
And the food is so awesome, I love it! Dad I think I'm going to start making the
dinner that you always made, which was actually my favorite. Rice,
chicken, and corn. mmm that sounds so good right now.
Well thank you for the update everyone. I love you all so
much, I cant say that enough. Make sure that you all stay safe, and help others
in their time of need. I look forward every single week to hearing from you
guys. You are all amazing.
No update on the visa ps. But one crazy cool update, we went
to a broadcast yesterday for the new mission presidents. And they said
that throughout this next year, they will be implementing more technology, like
allowing us on Facebook, and ipads, and phones, and other cool things! It blew
my mind! So we'll see what happens with that! By the time Carson leaves, he'll
be tweeting on his mission ;)
I love you all. Have an awesome week, congrats on the start
of the summer :)
Love, Elder Hardy
