bonjour y'all!!
Welcome to week two of "Season of
Soul!" The weather has turned wierd. It has warmed way up and started
raining a lot. It makes me startled to think if it had all been snow. It makes
all of us antsy for things to be so wet. The moment it drops again the world
will turn back into an ice rink.
The new Elder in our apartment is Elder
Botello, from southern California again. He is spanish speaking and hilarious
He is about three transfers older than me in the mission. Me and Elder Wilbur
are focusing on finding new people to teach through other means. We have
knocked twice in these two transfers so far. We have been trying to find
through referrals, referrals from members, less actives, investigators, and
God. Our teaching pool is not huge, but all of the names are solid. Some of
them were found while tracting, but only Jimmy actually came from knocking on a
door. The others were the result of following the spirit and talking to
everyone. Knocking a lot has the opposite affect. Lots and lots of names on the
white board, but very few of them are actually interested and not just polite
or lonely.
Holy cow go seahawks! a Washington team
acutally worth rooting for! Definetely tell me who wins the superbowl and who
they beat. Not too many people care out here in Quebec. All they care about is
the NHL. Qubecers are really frustrated because a Canadien team hasn't won the
Stanely cup (NHL superbowl) in a very long time.
On a more relevant note, Jimmy is moving
towards baptism on the 25th.
Well that about does it for now. Oh one more
cool thing. I found studying in 1 Nephi today something I really liked. In 1
Nephi 11 right after the angel asks Nephi "knowest thou the condescention
of God?" I really was struck by Nephi's response. He displays a true
understanding of the base of all doctrine, and is thus ready and capable of
understanding further knowledge.
Now I am done. Bye bye everyone!
Elder Hardy
