Hey yall,
Wow, I cant believe Jameson is back already! That is crazy! It seems like
yesterday I was at his open house. The mission has been flying by for me too.
This transfer was so fast! This is the last week of 6.
So highland couldn't pull off a chamionship huh? But that is cool that the
girls won.
Elder Polanco is good I guess. He went into the doctor and they said nothing
is wrong, so he has another appointment in a week.
No more wrecks, other than I ripped my pants a little bit in the chain, but
it aint bad.
This week the Assistants have been gone in the islands, so we get the TRUCK ALL
WEEK!!! It has been so nice! It is a brand new Tacoma. We have been able to go
so many places, it makes the work so much more effective. The driven is pretty
crazy here, but you just get used to it. Just dont think there are any rules,
and dont trust anyone, and then you will be safe.
Well we set a couple more dates this week, but we are going to have to move
them back a little, because they didnt go to church last week. And now our
mission is making the investigators go to church 3 times before they can be
baptized. So it is going to be a little more difficult to baptize, but it will
help keep people active because they really have to have a desire to go to
church before they are baptized.
One of the investigators has to work on sunday, so he is going to talk to his
boss to see if he cant get sundays off. So that can be tricky, but I have been
praying really hard for him.
Alvaro admitted that what has been stopping him is that he smokes, and has
been trying to stop, but hasnt been able too. So we decided that we are going to
call him everyday and tell him to have some sense and stop smoking, and after a
week of not smoking we are going to set a baptismal date.
We found a couple of really cool investigators this week, Some real
potential baptisms.
Ok, some puerto rico facts. The Police have Green and Blue lights, sometimes
just Blue, and they always have them on. They never turn their lights off! they
will be in a neighborhood, just cruising with their lights on for no reason.
Every house is super colorful. it looks like they go to the paint store and
let their kids choose out 3 or 4 different bright colors, it dont matter if they
match, and they just throw it on their house.
Oh and dad, about the kangaroo hoof, im guessing yes. Because Jeff just told
me that he got back from Australia, so it is definitely not out of the
question.
Well that is all this week, I love you, and God bless.

Love your son, Elder Hardy
