Lonely Part 2
First of all the other Elder Hardy
looks super stylish in all the pictures he sends home. He`s really catching the
European vibe.
Well I'm still companion-less. To be
honest it's extremely stressfull trying to manage an area alone and without the
ability to get where I need to be without extensive planning and asking members
to sacrifice time and gasoline. Yesterday I reached what we call in missionary
terms ''Elder Red'' which means my stress overwhelms me and I have to stop. I
ended up finding a quiet room in the church and just puting my head in my hands
for about 2 hours. After that I calmed down and prayed and everything was
better and I was able to finish the day just fine. I'm doing good now and
hopefully I'll get my companion soon. It was a frightening moment however. I
really have grown an appreciation for the need for companions. Temporary ones
on the mission, and eternal ones afterwards. Not even celestial beings can go
it alone.
On the bright side C.. is doing
awesome. Her baptismal interview is tonight, and her baptism is scheduled for
this Saturday. She's such a sweet spirit and it has been such a joy to witness
her conversion. The sad thing is I will probably end up baptizing her because
her fellowshipper has gone less-active (ask me about it after the mission. It's
too fresh for me to want to talk about it). At least she'll be baptized.
Also do you remember the investigator
named G.. back in Terrebonne? He left for Chile and I left before he
returned. Well the Elders got back in contact with him upon his return and he
is getting baptized the 28 of March! He's asked me to baptize him! I have to
ask permission first, but I'm so happy that the Elders didn't give up on him! I
knew he would make it!
As for the school stuff I've been
praying and I feel I should be in the International relations major, with a
plan to specialize in European politics and history. That's the direction I'm
going to take for now. I intend to keep praying and pondering (though never
during proselyting time I assure you).
I love you all so much! All my
siblings look so grown up! Keep being awesome and never forget the Lord loves
us, and that if we cling to our covenants he will always uphold and sustain us.
I know the Lord lives, and we are
preparing the world for his coming.
Love
Elder Hardy
