Switcherooo!
So yes transfers happened this week and we got elder seaver
from orem, utah as elder kerr's new companion and they also came out together
in the MTC and stayed in the same room so they know each other very well and
love it, next elder wilcock is elder taetakua's new companion, elder wilcock is
on his last transfer, he goes home in 6 weeks and he is from Arizona I think
and is really cool. He just got released
as a zone leader in Greenville, he
is funny too. I love our district now, we have some good strength and
experience that is going to really help us. Elder seaver cant bike because of medical stuff so we now
have 2 cars and we got the chevy malibu from myrtle beach, but we only have 600
miles this month cause it will be sold next month so we will have to bike a
little bit. I also found out that elder seaver is friends with a girl who
knows elizabeth
cracroft , ha so that was kinda cool. So yesterday we had a crazy day
we got a call in the morning and we had to skip PEC to go give a lady a blessing in the hospital
who just moved to our ward. We went to
see her and she knew a lot about the church and told us she served a mission in
Argentina and
we gave her a blessing cause she had some huge thing on the side of her head.
Later she kept calling us to get phone numbers of people in the ward and then
we found out that she had checked herself out of the hospital and was going to
the aiken ward at 1pm. Later we went
to see our bishop and his wife said that he had taken the lady to university
hospital in augusta and that they found out that she isn’t a member and that
she was scamming us, and looking back on when we were visiting her, it didn’t
really feel right and I didn’t feel the spirit there with her and now I know
why, so ya that was weird. But the good thing that happened yesterday is
that we did have an investigator come to church and he loved it, and we
are teaching him on Thursday so that’s sweet. We also taught a less active 21
year old who our assistant Ward Mission Leader ( who got back from his mission
last year) grew up with and he went with us right after church. Robert, who is
the less active said that he prayed about the questions he had and said he got
an answer and it made sense to him and we talked about a lot of confusing
doctrines mostly on the plan of salvation but he loved it all and we all
learned a lot. so ya its been good.
So something funny that happened last night, we just
switched our apartment around so all our beds are in the living room and our
study desks are in separate rooms so we can have better studies and last night
at about 5am my bed had been shifted a
little from me moving around and I fell off and the mattress flipped up and
fell on me, hahahaha! Elder seaver who is next to me started laughing but tried
to hold it in and after we all had gotten up and said prayers later he couldn’t
stop laughing, haha it was funny. I also
hit my head on elder norths wooden bed frame. The pizza was good and it lasted
us a couple days cause we didn’t eat it all that night but ya thanks for that
and the pizza was right on time too.
hahaha ALL HAIL ZEE NEW
YORK GIANTS!! haha i knew they would
win
Ya dad, I have come to that point on my mission that you are
talking about, where lots of things back home don’t matter and I just want to
focus and get the work done and is a lot more fun now, then it was before cause
I have learned so much, and I’m not still trying to memorize what the first
lesson says, but I am trying to focus on what I can do to find more investigators
and be as productive and effective as possible, its been good.
Ya mom I bought a new bike seat cause the other one i had
was just the original trek bike seat that was as old as the bike and the seat
cover was not working I got sick of it so i bought a new seat and now after I
have used it for a couple days I dont like the new one I bought so im going to
return it and get a different one that I know is comfortable haha sorry for the
confusion, and when I took off the old seat I saw that it was really messed up
and bent.
dad you need to come to south carolina
and drive, you will find out the drivers are 10 times worse here.
mom if you need to send some pictures of my mission with
people that you dont know so I can write names on the back of the pictures
for you, you can do that and ill send them back.
mom just send my birthday box to the mission address, the banana bread was really good it made me so
happy
oh my gosh kevin and seth and taylor????!!!! What! haha I
was not expecting that at all kevin is getting married fast. and I don’t think
I know brenda strong. but you should send me a picture of them or something.
ooh i just had the idea of you guys getting a in-n-out
burger and sending it to me but I don’t know if that would actually work and i
kind of want to do the whole 2 years without an in-n-out burger so don’t do
anything that was just an idea haha.
well hope you guys have a great week we are doing great and
I cant wait to get a letter from this mysterious girl that kristan is setting
me up with haha anyway thanks for being the best family ever ha and only!
love you guys
Love Elder Harper
