Hey guys!!!! Thanks for all of the great news!!!
So things here are just dandy and well we are having just a
great time. Yesterday after church we went to go eat at the house of a familia en
la rama, and well I found a set of hand cuffs and asked the husband quien es un
militar, ¿tiene the key for this? Well he said no. I thought he was joking and
so I put it on the wrist of Elder F. Well it turns out that he really didn’t
have the key. If Mike Gedlaman reads this, this will be the moment in which he
says that I’m on the top of the meat head list. So we then looked all around
the house looking for a key to the hand cuffs and well we were about to leave
to go to the station to get them removed when we found one hidden away. Luckily
we were able to get the cuffs off. My comp was still happy and was a little
excited to go out and preach with the cuffs on. jajajaja. aparte de lo que paso
alli todo esta bien. We’ve had an interesting week with lots of things to do
and man I think this week was one of the weeks we worked the hardest in all my
mission, it was soo great!!!
Everyday I was just beat and well waking up in the morning
was so hard cause it just felt like I didn’t even sleep but hey that’s whats
great about mission life. Even though it hurts you know you’re doing your job. This
week was soo amazing in which we saw many miracles and just had a ton of
experiences working with the members, and we were able to go out and work with members
like 4 days this week and so it was a huge success. Well I’m just happy with
what is happening in our area. Just gotta keep your head up and keep going
forward. I don’t really know what else to write cause all is well. But hey we’ll
be talking soon. !!!!
Anyway until next week my fam!!!!
Love

Hey Mom,
So this week has been an interesting one with a couple of
interesting experiences. First of all like I was explaining to Dad and you can
ask him for more details but this week I was presiente de la rama. entonces yo
tenia que hacer todo en la iglesia ayer con mi compañero y la verdad que me
gustó. But other than that we had a little run in with our house alarm. Now
this is the only pension or house I have seen in Argentina with an alarm and
the pension es bastante cheta. pero bueno the other day I was cleaning a little
bit of shelf and I found this little grey box with a button so obviously I
pressed the button and then there was this loud beep. I went to go to where we
study and this really, really, really loud alarm starts going off and I couldn`t
turn it off again with the little grey button. So what happened is when I
pressed it I armed the alarm and then the sensor got me and my comp so we were running
around the pension just trying to figure out what to do yelling and screaming
and covering our ears. And well yelling and screaming a little more locked
ourselves in the bedroom and not much help so we tried and tried to run it off and
finally we went outside to escape the sound.
Then I pressed the button again and it turned off. The alarm guy came to
see what happened and we explained him the story but basically we just went
nuts and man my ear hurt afterwards. So a little adventure of the week. But the
week has been great and we were able to have 4 people in church this week and
well they are progressing way good. They keep learning and being in charge of
church. The other day really helped cause we taught to what they needed to hear
cause we had no idea what the lessons were supposed to be. Any way we should
see some great progress with them this week too.
All is well and well we just keeping working hard trying to help
out the rama. I can’t complain. I don’t really know but I do want to ask if you can send, a Canadian
shirt or jersey so I can give it to my comp. He’s way tight and I want to give
him something. So that’s all I would ask. Other than that the paisley ties and
that’s about all, anything really that you send you know I will accept
willingly and lovingly so I don’t complain.
But anyway I love you tons cya later.
Love

Familia Mia!!!! les amo!!
faa que semana que tuvimos!!! So Elder
F, he has 3 months in the mission. He’s from Columbia and well he’s just
super great!! We get along well and he’s super humble ready to work and ready
to do the Lord’s will and so we are getting along just fine!!! The area is way
different, well not that different it’s in the middle of nowhere and just us 2
that are here. It is soo small like maybe the size of Tuscany, maybe
smaller!!!! It’s a tiny rama and this week we had 15 people in church and soo
there is lots of room for improvement!! It’s a lot nicer than my other areas in
terms of scenery so that’s nice but all we got to do is go to work and well
save the children of men.
Great news to hear about Reg and Amanda and
Becca and Mike!!! Congrats to them!!! And well say hi to everyone for me.
But anyway to tell you a little bit about
me, alls the same besides the change in area and companino and working habits
and on and on. So just about you could say that all is different hahaa. But I’m
good. It’s been an interesting week just getting to know the are, the people
and the investigators their needs and well just getting familiar with
everything. I think this week will be a little bit better as I have an idea of
how things go here and well now it’s time to go to work. This week we really
need to get to work because we didn’t have anyone in church this week and soo
there are no excuses for this week. Its guuna be a big fight but I know that
the Doctrine of Chrsit changes people and teaching that doctrine with power and
authority will change these people. I have enough faith to say that we will
have people in church this week and that’s what we’re gunna do. Elder F
has his mind set in the same way as me and well we just gotta do it now.
So from my side of the world all is well
and we keep going strong. Sorry I don’t have much to tell this week but hey
just know that I’m fine!!
Love you all soo much
Elder Harker
