Hi everyone! It's Elder Hardy again.
But you already knew that.
This week was another wonderful week in Uitkijk!
Unfortunately we had a lot of bike problems so it certainly made the week feel
a bit longer but we managed well enough. It involved a lot of pulling, Elder
Rodas and I biked to Groningen which is about an hour and a half away from home
and I pulled him from there to home! We stopped half-way (at the half-way
point) at a winkel and I got a gatorade, some peanuts and pedaled as fast as I
could home! I even managed to pull him over the Sarramacca bridge. We were
approaching it and Elder Rodas made a joke about me pulling him over the
bridge, so I shrugged and started pedaling super fast! Almost died at the top
but I did it!
Today was the 4th of July, Independence Day! So we decided
to celebrate pretty well today, we bought meat, soda, snacks and we even hung
up an American flag! Sorry about no pictures but next week they should be up!
It was very fun getting back together with everyone, it feels that with a lot
of the missionaries in North Zone I haven't seen them in ages! We also got to
celebrate it with our new Senior Couple; the Crawfords! They're wonderful, they
even made us this really tasty banana bread type thing with blueberries in it!
Lekker.
I'm excited for tonight, we're going to have a Family Home
Evening with this less-active family. We sat with the mom last night and had a
very spiritual lesson as we talked about the Godhead and parts of the
Restoration. Her daughter came out afterwards and told us how we are all going
to have a family home evening either Monday or next Monday, so voila! I'm
excited, it should be a very good opportunity to help bring them closer
together as a family!
Here in Suriname I can't shoot off fireworks...so make sure
to shoot off a bunch for me and after you do that, shoot off more!
Lobi,
Elder Hardy
