Wohoo! There is defiantly
progress on the basement it sounds like! I am glad that Dad is able to find
time to go hunting!
I LOVE that pic of Haylee on her
four wheeler! I can just hear her little laugh/giggle/cackle that she does when
she gets excited! :)
It is also great that Mom has
been able to be a great missionary. There is a saying that says ``preach the
Gospel; use words when necessary`` that I remember asI read about your
experience. That is great that she is able to feel the Spirit that you bring
and the light of Christ in your countenance.
Hope ShayLynn can get through
with her computer problems and with all her homework in general!
This week was great, as seen in
the pictures we went and cut down another tree with machetes (that we borrowed
from a member.) We felt odd walking down the street with machetes, until a
woman called to us and told us that they would arrest us if they saw us, and
gave us some black garbage bags to wrap them in so that they weren’t out in the
open. She wasn’t too interested in listening to us, but I am grateful for her
concern to help us.
Elder Agular, another elder in
our ward, also completed a year in the mission, so he burned a shirt out of
tradition. (I do not plan to do so :) I sent a foto of us and the smoldering
shirt on the hanger!
On Friday we invited Alejandro
and David, out two young investigators, to come the market with us to go and do
contacts, or invite the people to listen to us. We showed them a few examples
of how to do it, and the two of them went with a member, Michel, who wearing a
Future Missionary name tag looked pretty official :) we split up and tried to
have a competition, but only had half an hour to do it before we had to be back
in our house... but it was a great experience, and I am so happy that they are
willing to be so involved in the Work of Salvation. Even non-members can do
it!
On Saturday the other
missionaries in the ward had a baptism, they baptized a young man named Bryan.
Now we have 2 young men! 2 more (Alejandro and David) are soon to follow!
I also got to give another talk
on Sunday, on the Holy Ghost. I told about how the Spirit helped me to be able
to answer Mandy's Email as one of my experiences.
But yeah! That is my week.
Thanks so much for all your
love! I fell at home for a few minutes each week as I read your letters :)
Enjoy that 4 wheeler
Haylee!
Love, Elder Hayden Redford
PS a sister from the ward,
Hermana Paty wants to send some photos of us through facebook. She is going to
try and find dad's and send them. Her account is Patty Sylvia. We will see how
that works out; you can always use google translate!
