Keep Working Hard - 8/27/12

Dear Family,

Thank you for the encouraging e mail mom, Elder Gibson and I are doing great. He is trying to get me in shape though. We went running this morning, also I have been trying to do 100 push ups a day, 50 in the morning and then 50 before I go to bed. I feel good though. I am seriously thinking about going into the Army, either as a reservist, or in the
national guard. Unless you can think of a better way to pay for school.

The work here is going good. We are having a baptism this week so that is great! it is Sister Brenda, a friend to Sister Marious, the one who is bed ridden. Isnt that sweet? We are trying to establish the church here in St. Lucia. The branch here is kind of struggling right now.

I have been reading a lot from the Book of Mormon this transfer, and it has been great! This week I read a verse that in 2 Nephi 24 that stood out to me. I think it is in verse 16 but it says how we will feel when we see Satan. We will look at him and say is this the man that has done all this destruction. When we are faced with trails we can just think of
how Satan really is. He is nothing special  We can conquer him. He is nothing.

Well I better get but I love you keep working hard.

Love
Elder Hartshorn
