Latest happenings in Star/Meridian Idaho from Elder TJ Hardy

Hi Mom, Dad and Casey, how are you doing this week? :) Hey first off P-Days are now on Monday's instead of Tuesdays. idk why they got changed but they did so make sure you get emails in by Monday (post on the blog and FB) thanks!

So here's how my week went! :)

Wednesday (26th) -- We had to go to Cascade,ID so my comp. could do a baptismal interview it's about 2 hours away so that took most of the day we got back around 5pm then had dinner with one of my favorite familes the Birches! had a great time :)

Thursday (27th) -- This is going to a busy day!! had a lesson with a recent convert from this past May and taught her about enduring to the end and we watch the movie John Tanner (excellent movie!!) then we picked up out dry cleaning and had lunch with a kid that works with us a lot so we took him to lunch to say thanks he's waiting for his mission call. Once we finished with that we had some referrals to contact so we did that and had pretty good success it's kind of hard during the day with people at work or out and about. Had splits tonight so I went with a guy from the Star 1st ward and we went and taught 3 families (all members) we do this to help them with there missionary efforts and had a good time.

Friday (28th) -- We had a "mission tour" do you remember those dad? Where a General Authority comes and visits. Elder Bowen from the Quorum of the 70's came and talked to us by zones and did a great job, he talked about following the Lord's cousel and acting whe prompted. Then on Sunday Elder Bowen held a fireside for recent converts, members, investigators, etc... it was a Q&A and went really well he is such a neat guy. We had a lesson with Brianna our recent conver and taught her about temple marriage because she really wants that. After that we went to the Star 1st Ward Halloween party and guess what I dressed up as???? come on can you think!! no not you dad! I dressed up as a missionary! Who woulda thought ;) hahah! Then we went to a family named the Pollucks (active members) and carved pumkins with them (I have a video on my SD card so when I send it home in a couple of weeks so you can see it :)

Saturday (29th) -- We picked up a new investigator (Tammy Birges) and were supposed to have our first lesson with her but she had to cancel.. so we are going back in 1 week! had dinner and FHE with the Birch family! We watched the Emma Smith movie, have you seen it? It is way good! I recommend seeing it :) what a faithful lady!! After that we went and contacted some people with Brother Peterson and we came upon a preacher and he is really interested about the church so he might start coming haha! nuts huh?!

Sunday (30th) -- woke up sick... so I slept in until 10:30 felt good but woke up feeling gross still. At 1 pm we did go to church then Elder Speiser had to practice his music for a sacrement meeting on the 13 of Nov. so while he did that I wrote letters and got caught up in my journal.

Monday (31st) -- Happy Halloween!!! :)I'm still feeling sick hoping to get feeling better asap! We are exchanging today also I'm with Elder Andersen again and we should have a good day. We are going to the Star 1st ward's trunk or treat and we are going to buy a pack of candy and tape "mormon.org" card to them and pass them out to non members.

I love you so much dad, mom and Casey and miss you a lot!!!!
