Hey Everyone!
Alrighty, so this week was the hardest week I have had so far, but I will get to that in a minute. So it started super good just doing normal missionary stuff, tracting, teaching, doing a bunch of service all that jazz! And it was awesome! Me and my comp are getting along GREAT! He is so awesome! We are almost the same person, it’s kinda weird...haha anyway things are going great! So last night we were out tracting in Cashmere for like 3 hours and this same car kept driving past us and slowing down every time they went by. It was getting kinda weird, but then we were walking down a street and they drove past again and stopped a little bit ahead of us. We were kinda sketched out but we just kept walking. Then they backed up to the side of us and rolled down their windows and BOOM! A bunch of teenage girls. They starting talking to us and asking us if we were cold haha they were straight up hitting on us so we OYMed (open your mouth) them and told them we are missionaries and shared a little thought with them about Jesus Christ and gave them cards with the website to the new Easter video and told them to watch it. It was hilarious. It was the last thing I was expecting to happen. And it was the first time in 5 months either of us had been hit on so that was kinda funny haha. Anyway just thought that was kinda funny. But we turned it around and taught the gospel so it worked out I guess! Alright so now on a more serious note...so the last two weeks Arturo has missed church. He was sick one week and then I don’t know why he missed the other week. But anyway, he is having some challenges. We are going to continue to work with him and I’ll keep y'all updated. It has just been just a testimony booster for me about how important the little things are in this gospel. CPR (church, praying, reading). Without doing these three things, we enable Satan to have power and ability to tempt us. I know this gospel is true. I know that Christ lives and because he lives we have the opportunity to live again. I am so grateful for this gospel and the chance I have to serve the Lord. I have learned so much it’s not even funny, and I continue to learn every day. I’ll talk to you all more next week love you! Elder Harman

Hey all!
So this week was great!! We worked really hard and have started to see our area beginning to take off! We found some new areas to tract that I have never even seen before so that will be good! There are a lot of hidden Mexican gold mines in our area. You have to drive on all these tiny sketchy roads and then all of a sudden, boom! Huge trailer park! And it is mostly Mexicans. Which by the way, white people are relentless! They are always so stiff necked and never willing to listen. Anyway, the area is starting to take off so that’s good. So this week we had some service opportunities for a few days to help out at the Special Olympics here is Wenatchee. So that was sick! Special needs kids are the best! SO yeah that was cool! And then we had a bunch of meetings and stuff that I learned a lot in. They were super good! I wanna share a quote from it. SO one of my zone leaders said, "A prayer does not end at amen. If anything, that’s where it starts." I love that. It’s so true. As we pray and ask for blessings and things, we have to also be acting and doing the things we are supposed to, so we are able to receive the blessings. Also, so yesterday a member in our ward was trying to invite a less active friend to church. And he accidently called the wrong guy and invited a Mexican guy that works for him to church. He just showed up and said he wants to come again next week and we might start teaching him now! So that is exciting! It is such a good example of how truly easy missionary work is. Haha he literally accidently invited someone to church. It’s THAT easy! Anyway, just a cool thing that happened this week! Well, I gotta go but I’ll talk more next week! Love you all! Here are some pics on our way to service this week. Elder Harman |
