August 12, 2013

Hahah Bethany really liked that concert didnt she?

Dane is such a cutie. Im glad we got some smiling, laughing, and frown pictures together. It was super fun to see Tommy and Alyse and Daney here just for a short lunch. Keep up the good missionary work at home!

Mom!!! Youre having your birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Youre going to go kayaking?? Wow. Sounds exciting! I hope you have a wonderful birthday. 
What I love about mommy: I love my mom because of how wonderful of an example that she is to me and everyone else. I cant think of the limits of the blessings that come from a mother that is so strong in her faith and love for us and others. (As well as her strength from carrying all those babies around for so long!) You've always been an example for me mom, Im just trying to show other people what youve showed me!

So, answers to questions:
Yes! Ive been getting dallins letters, sorry that he hasnt been getting mine. Im including him here. 
Elder Hardy and I have found some good people, but the process with them seems really slow. But, we are excited because last night we found a young man named Junior from the Dominican Republic! He has spoken with missionaries before, and is very sincere. Its too bad he'll be moving back to Montreal this Sunday. But! We'll keep going.
District study is fun every week, and its me who decides what to do, but Ive been trying to have some other Elders give trainings so they can learn the most. But its fun to do them, even though its a little funny having a district of 4 elders hah. And yes, we're all in the same ward, and we have the city divided in half. We talk the east half. 
The weather is SUPER nice here. It hasnt been like last August at all. Last year was so so hot, but its been right around perfect, almost every single day. Its incredible. People are actually outside nowadays so we can do street contacting!
And Im trying to take more pictures! But not too many options when mostly youre just looking at the next door youre knocking on hah.

Im glad to hear Mikes doing well! 

What we're doing for P-day today: Emails, shopping, we need to buy Elder Hardy a study journal, wash the car, and hopefully do something else! The last few ones Elder Hardy has taken naps while I clean the apartment, because hes pretty tired hah. But its alright, hes getting used to the schedule. 

This week was awesome! We've been trying to involve members more in our work, which has been a focus from President Patrick, our zone leaders, Bishop Desjourdy, and us! The only issue is we need to find more people to teach so we can involve them! But we took a brother named Frere Beauregard out with us to see a sweet less active woman, Soeur Jetté, and he loved it. He was really excited to teach, and he invited her to church, and then she came! He was so happy about it, he announced it during Priesthood quorum, about how it was an answer to his prayers. Its wonderful to see growth, and how we can help it happen here as we involve members in the work of salvation. 

Love you all! Elder Hardy said he really likes In-n-Out too, so we had a craving for that this week hah. But dont send me one, please.

Have a good week!

Love
Elder Murphy, Austin
