Today the weather here is kind of nasty its cold and really
windy and it randomly down pores every so often so I am grateful to not be on
the bike. We had a busy week and there never seems to be enough time to get everything
done but we do our best.
We have really been
focusing on trying to find families and people that will really help to
strengthen the Prospect ward here. Our area is so full of international
students that we have to really work to find more permanent people that
are interested in hearing the Gospel but it is good to stay busy. We do
knock on a few doors but for us it is mostly street contacting. I can usually
shoot the breeze with most people but it is tough to start talking about the
church and stuff without making it awkward. So I have been really trying to
learn how to tie it in with the conversation rather than have to say "what
we do or what we teach or do you have a few min". It is so much better if
you can just have a regular conversation. So that is what I have really been
working on this week.
Everything at home looks really good and green, that is a ton
of water that you got last week. I am glad everything is ok there. People
look at me funny when I walk around without a coat on cause it is 15 out and
they are freezing. I get cold some days but most I am not too bad in just my
long sleeve shirts. We have laundry in our apartment which is really nice to
keep your clothes from getting nasty cause I spill all the time so then I can
wash it right away.
Going to the temple
I am doing well so don't worry about me Elder Pitama is even
a half decent cook so that is a bonus. It just randomly started pouring again,
its like a hurricane in the library. Tomorrow we
have a specialized training on family history so that should be interesting. I
don't have a clue about that stuff.
Love you all take care.,
Elder Hartley
