The Path to Happiness - 05/21/12

Dear Family,

I was just thinking back on our conversation we had on Mothers day and I realized I talked about some of the same things I did on Christmas! haha sorry about that. It sounds like everyone is doing good though. That is great!

Things are going good over here also. We had a pretty challenging week. It just seemed like everything fell through. This it was the first time that Elder Moya really had to go through a hard time so it was really discouraging and hard on him.It rained yesterday morning and when it rains it seems like no one wants to come to church. One of the families that we are teaching did not come to church. We still hope to baptize them in the coming weeks. It is really lonely being out here in Linden all by ourselves. It is helping me to focus on having Christ more in my life though.

I am thankful for everything that you do for me. I truly am blessed and so thankful that the Lord allowed me to come on a mission, and to find joy in his Gospel. I know that he will help us if we cry out to him continually. The scriptures show us the path to happiness. If we search the scriptures we will find a new sweetness in our lives. No one can take away from a whiteness of the spirit and I am thankful that I will always know that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God, and that no other book can draw us nearer to God. I Love you all and thank you for the support.

Love Elder Hartshorn
