Elder TJ Hardy recent letter

My week:

Tuesday (22nd)-- Usually we have district meeting but we had to cancel because no one was going to be able to make it. So instead of doing it today we just had a regular day and contacted people. We were supposed to teach Tammy but she got sick and had to cancel and we still (28th) We haven't been able to get in touch with her could you keep her in your prayers? Thanks. Then we went and taught Ryan and Whitney and they have been giving there mom and dad trouble so she had us talk on obeidence and I shared Alma 53 and 57 with them (Army's of Helaman) since they were great examples of following and being obeidient to their mom :) Then we taught a couple members and got some referrals

Wednesday (23rd)-- Zone Conference (9am-530pm) it was my first one and I really enjoyed it! it was pretty long but very good. President talked to us for a while and he had the missionaries going home give there testimonies but I guess they call them "Trunk -a- monies" haha. Then we played a few games and watched 17 miracles it's a good movie I really enjoyed it. Then we went home and headed over to Gabe's house to teach him a lesson we taught him about prayer and to always pray. His dad has been less active since he was baptized and is starting to open up and sit in the lessons with us so that is really neat! He is a Raiders fan too -- good man. ha!

Thursday (24th/Thanksgiving)-- to start off the day I played some football with the stake at 9 till about 12 then went back and got showered,etc.. and just hung out until we went to the Larsens at 3:30 we played football, basketball, ate, watched a little of 17 miracles, board games and just had a great time talking. After that we went back home.

Friday (25th)-- back to work, break over! had district meeting and learned how to ask inspired questions and listen to the spirit. It was a good lesson. After that we weekly planned since we usually do it on Thursday's but it was Thanksgiving. After we planned we got a call from Sister Sorenson saying she made us apple crisp :) she's a great lady! after we picked that up we went to dinner at the Covinos they took us to Pizza Hut. Then we went and contacted more people.

Saturday (26th)-- Had a lesson with a recent convert who likes to keep learning more about the church (Brooke) so we taught her about the doctorine of Christ (2 Nephi 31) and then talked for a while it was a great lesson she's an amazing girl and cute haha. 19 years old grew up catholic and decided she wanted to learn more then got baptized in May. Her family is really nice (free haircuts lady) After that we did the usual progress records then we had a lesson set up with Cassie (a lady we tracted.) but she was a no show hopefully she is serious and will get back to us.
After that we got a call from Gabe's dad asking if we could come over and share a message with him because he really enjoys it and appreciates what we have done for his family and his mom.

Sunday (27th)-- church then contacted people had a lesson with an active family in the Star 2nd ward. Tried contacting Tammy and Cassie but had no luck.

Well mom and dad I wanna let you know how much I love and appreciate you and all you do! You are my heros and I look up to you so much. You are both a true disciple of Christ and I thank you for being that great example and setting that example for me to follow.
