We had a busy week too. We cleaned the temple two nights, fed the multitude for MLC and sorted blankets and wrapped them for the homeless at Catholic Charities. We had a great group of Elders come for two days (six each day) to fulfill a last minute Just Serve assignment. We have learned that we don’t like being on the texting list when these assignments are passed down. There are many frantic texts back and forth. The missionaries are the minute-men to cover these requests. We had to tell the people in charge that they couldn’t use the missionaries this Tuesday to pass out the coats and even tonight they are frantically trying to get members to fill the assignment. I’m glad that’s not my responsibility. Our Elders were great, they worked fast and efficiently and had fun doing it. They tried on purple and pink coats and any other weird coat and posed for pictures. They were asked to pack the blankets a little tighter in the box so they all jumped into the box to accomplish this task. They are fun to be with and all sorts of goofy. One Elder was SO excited when he was allowed to run the compacting machine. They are willing to help in any way they can.
Our friend Brian (that came to our apartment on Christmas Eve) is being baptized this Saturday. This has been a long time coming. We hope he is able to stay healthy this week so that it can happen. He has asked Elder Bell to do the baptism. Elder Bell is healing well but he has a gnarly incision and it looks like Frankenstein with the stitches. It will be interesting to see if he is able to perform the baptism.
We are doing well, the weather has been beautiful for most of the week and it’s getting lighter in the evenings.
You are all our Valentine’s! We love you and miss you and hope you have a fun busy week!
The gospel’s true and we love you!
Love,
Elder and Sister Hardman
