He showed up! - 4/22/13

Thank you for the great e mail Mom and Dad. Brother Tmon Tmore Davis was baptized this week! It was so great, he is so loved and fellow-shipped by the branch it is ridiculous. The baptism was really good and spiritual. It is crazy how close you get to the people you teach. I also recived my last transfer call of my mission. I will be staying in St. Vincent with Elder Ramdhanie. I am pretty darn excited because we have been finding lots of success. President has made St. Vincent "hick island" haha All of the hicks

are on the island now it is so flippin fun. I am trying to stay focused and finish my mission strong and set an example for the other missionaries of how to end their missions.

That is sad that Sister Wade passed away. I really wanted to see her and thank her for all the support she gave me. I am glad she went peacefully though.

The birds are back and they gave me the card. Elder Bird also said that he had a great lunch with you, and wants to have a picnic somewhere down the line with all of us. I thought that was pretty funny. The best part about the letter was to know that the truck is back up and running!

Sorry my email is so random, I hope you can still get an idea of what is going on down here. I love you all and cant wait to see your smiling faces in six weeks....???

Love,
Elder Hartshorn

Interesting Experiences - 4/15/13

Dear Family,

Thank you for all the great news! I am Glad you were able to meet Elder Bird. He is pretty awesome. He is probably one of the happiest guys you will ever meet. Hannah also seems like she is getting faster! I bet I can still beat here though haha How is the good ol' valley doing anyway?

We had a very interesting experience this week. Our investigator who was supposed to be baptized passed her interview, and was excited to be baptized. When we went to pick her up Saturday , she was not home, and she did not answer her phone. We waited and we called but there was still no sign of her. We went to the church and were met by a lot of the branch, but our investigator never came. We still have not been able to get a hold of her. I have never had this happen before, and it was a little strange for me.

On the positive note Brother Davis is solid for this week, if he shows up. haha He came to the baptism we were supposed to have. He is just really solid and is a part member family. We are excited for him.

Thank you for being so great! I do not think anyone gets as much support from home then I do. I am truly grateful for that.Your the best!

Love,
Elder Hartshorn

Another Short One - 4/8/13

Hey Family,

I am glad you were able to enjoy conference, it was most enjoyable for me. It also sounds like there is a lot going on around there. I am kinda sad I will miss all of Hannahs running, but I am sure you will record a few to watch.

The work here is continuing to progress, we are going to have a baptism this week! The lady who just straight up told her boy friend to move out because she wanted to be baptized  She is so solid. We are working with a few part member families so we might also have a few baptisms on the twentieth as well.

Thank you for your great e mail,

Love,
Elder Hartshorn
