Goodmorning!

This last week was a little slow! Monday we were able to go to the shore and have a Branch Family Home Evening! Before hand we were able to go on a little adventure along the shore! The Lesson on Monday night was about our spiritual gps. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, so a spiritual GPS stands for Gods Plan of Salvation. It was so awesome to see everyone involved in it! The beginning of the week was soooooo slow but by the end of the week we had the Bridgewater Sisters here for a visit and were able to go out and work with them. Sister Killpack and I had the opportunity to go out knocking. It was just like being in the MTC all over again! The first house we knocked on the lady let us right in! We were able to have a lesson with her and she is excited to learn more! I have been planning a softball game for the branch and a few other branches for this upcoming week. So Honestly i'm pretty pumped for that! 

I hope everyone has  a great week! sorry this weeks email isnt very long! but i have lots of pictures!! oh and yes i am collecting MINIONS..... that picture is only like maybe 25% of them....... :) 

LOVE SISTER HARDY <3 

ENGLISH VERSION OF MY EMAIL....someone was a little confused(mom) with it being in frech...

Good Morning!!! What a week.... nothing exciting like last weeks incident happened..... but it was still a great week!!  

This past week I have been studying Light. I found an amazing talk called The world needs to see and feel your light, by Chad W. Lewis. It talks about sports :) Church talks and sports what could be better? :) well back on topic i guess, this talk is talking about how We need to let our LIGHT shine among EVERYONE. In the talk it gives an example of a football player who played for BYU and got drafted to the Philadelphia Eagles. He stated in his talk..."I arrived at the Eagles facility and was the first player in the tight-end meeting room waiting for my coach to arrive. A tall man walked by the doorway and saw me out of the corner of his eye. After passing a few steps, he popped back and stood in the doorway, looking at me with a big grin on his face. He had a wad of chewing tobacco in his lower lip. With a twinkle in his eye he said, “Hey, Utah!”

“Yeah?” I responded.

“Are you a Mormon?”

“Yeah, I’m a Mormon.”

“Are you a good Mormon?”

“I don’t know; I try to be.”

“Do you drink?”

“No.”

“Do you smoke?”

“No.”

“Yeah, you’re a good Mormon!”

He later found out that the man that had walked by was Emmitt Thomas, the Eagles’ defensive coordinator and legendary defensive back for the Kansas City Chiefs. 

As he goes on in his talk He talks about how you can be The Light of Christ by the small actions that you do. Going on he talks about Emmitt again, about how he had been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and when he gave his acceptance speech he talked about Gods Gifts he gives us, He says " Our talent is God’s gift to us. How we use that talent is our gift to him. My sincere hope and prayer is that God finds my gift back to him a worthy one. May God bless you, keep you and continue the good fight of faith."

My favorite primary song talks about letting your LIGHT shine among all of those around you. 

Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam

1. 1. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
   To shine for him each day;
   In ev'ry way try to please him,
   At home, at school, at play.
2. 2. Jesus wants me to be loving
   And kind to all I see,
   Showing how pleasant and happy
   His little one can be.
3. Chorus
   A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
   Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
   A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
   I'll be a sunbeam for him.
4. 
   
5. How can you let your LIGHT shine for those around you to see it? I love you all!!! And hope you have a fantastic week! LOVE SISTER HARDY, P.S. dont forget you can write me, 1833 Torbrook rd. wilmot, ns

Bonjour!!!!

Bonjour!!! Quelle semaine .... rien d'excitant, comme dernières semaines incident est arrivé ..... mais il était encore une très bonne semaine !!

La semaine dernière, je l'ai étudié Lumière. Je trouvai un discours étonnant appelé Le monde a besoin de voir et sentir votre lumière, par le Tchad W. Lewis. Il parle de sport :) parle de l'Église et des sports ce qui pourrait être mieux? :) Bien revenir sur le sujet, je suppose, ce discours parle de la façon dont nous devons laisser notre lumière brille entre tous. Dans le discours qu'il donne un exemple d'un joueur de football qui a joué pour BYU et a obtenu rédigée pour les Eagles de Philadelphie. Il a déclaré dans son discours ... «Je suis arrivé à l'établissement Eagles et a été le premier joueur dans la salle de réunion tight-end d'attente pour mon entraîneur à arriver. Un grand homme marchait par la porte et m'a vu du coin de son oeil. Après avoir passé quelques étapes, il est réapparu et tenait à la porte, en me regardant avec un grand sourire sur son visage. Il avait une liasse de tabac à chiquer dans sa lèvre inférieure. Avec un clin d'œil, il a dit, " Hey, Utah! "

"Ouais?" Ai-je répondu.

«Êtes-vous un mormon?"

"Ouais, je suis un mormon."

"Etes-vous une bonne Mormon?"

"Je ne sais pas; J'essaie d'être."

"Bois-tu?"

"Non."

"Fumez-vous?"

"Non."

"Ouais, vous êtes un bon Mormon!"

Plus tard, il a découvert que l'homme qui avait marché par Emmitt Thomas était, coordonnateur à la défensive des Eagles et légendaire défensif pour les Chiefs de Kansas City.

Comme il se passe dans son discours, il parle de la façon dont vous pouvez être la lumière du Christ par les petits gestes que vous faites. Partir en il parle de Emmitt à nouveau, sur la façon dont il avait été intronisé au Pro Football Hall of Fame et quand il a prononcé son discours d'acceptation, il a parlé Dieux cadeaux qu'il nous donne, Il dit: «Notre talent est un don de Dieu pour nous. Comment nous utiliser ce talent est notre cadeau pour lui. Mon sincère espoir et la prière est que Dieu trouve mon cadeau de nouveau à lui un digne d'un. Que Dieu vous bénisse, vous garder et de continuer le bon combat de la foi. "

Ma chanson préférée primaire parle de laisser votre lumière brille parmi tous ceux qui vous entourent.

Jésus me veut pour Sunbeam

1. Jésus me veut pour un rayon de soleil,

Pour briller pour lui chaque jour;

En chemin ev'ry essayer de lui plaire,

À la maison, à l'école, au jeu.

2. Jésus veut que je sois amoureuse

Et la gentillesse de tout ce que je vois,

Montrant comment agréable et heureuse

Son petit peut être.

Chœur

Un rayon de soleil, un rayon de soleil,

Jésus me veut pour un rayon de soleil.

Un rayon de soleil, un rayon de soleil,

Je serai un rayon de soleil pour lui.

Comment pouvez-vous laisser votre lumière brille pour ceux autour de vous le voir?

Je vous aime tous!!! et nous espérons que vous avez une semaine fantastique!

AMOUR SISTER HARDY

OH MY LANDS..... WHAT A WEEK....

This week has been an interesting one...... 

Well I think the first two picture sums up the whole week..... lets just say it was rainy, muddy, and dark...... that's all im gonna say about it....... 🙈 and yes I was driving... 🙈🙈

Well I don't know how the email can get any better.... Sunday night we had a Fireside that we threw together in about a week and a half time, It was on different members conversion stories, it was such an amazing experience being able to read the conversion stories of those in the Branch. I Had an awesome experience Saturday night, my companion and I were out knocking doors, and this lady answered and she seemed interested and she said to us let me go get my husband, so her husband came to the door and started talkin smack about our church, and how the Book of Mormon was a Fictitious Book and that its not true, after we left that mans doorstep, We felt like we did our best and testified of the truth that we know. So Sunday morning that conversation kept coming back to my mind and how the Book of Mormon is a fictitious book and how its not true, so as I said a prayer before I started to study, I asked if the Book of Mormon was the word of god. ( I have received the answer to this questions many many times before) As I pulled my Book of Mormon out of my backpack I knew without a doubt that it is the Word of God. I didn't even have to open it to know that it is true. I would challenge you all to read Moroni 10:3-5 and ask God if the Book of Mormon is the word of God. 

    I was going through some of my pictures and I came across one of the girls and I sitting in the car before they dropped me off at the MTC....It has to be one of the best pictures. Kenlees face is probably my favorite, to be honest that is probably what my face would look like if it could this weekend, as She has made the choice to get Baptised. I honestly could not be more proud of this girl. She is a turd at time but I sure do love her! 

   I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be here in Canada, some days are hard and I want to go home and there are weeks like this where everything goes bad, but then one simple thing can change the whole week! I know that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God and that the Power of Prayer is real! 

   I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!! <3 

I hope you all have  a fantastic week!!! 

Hola.....Wait wrong language Aloha wait.....

...... Bonjour, Where has the week gone?! Well.... umm..... this week has been full of service! We have had the opportunity to stack a LOT of firewood! and volunteer for community events! The one lesson we had this past week was a little crazy. we knocked on this door and the lady was so welcoming and set up a time for us to come back, that fell through.... so we were finally able to set up another lesson.... we got there and it was the most awkward thing ever.... she is a very strong atheist and her husband is a very strong catholic... both are NOT willing to change any of thier beliefs... so we finally asked why they wanted to the missionaries to come back... and her response was because they looked cute and seemed nice..... 

     This i was looking through my pictures and found some from the mtc..... and some videos that we made a few weeks ago.... the videos are to big to send but im going to try my best to get them either by email or on my blog! oh and a reminder about my blog, my mommy has posted stuff i have either emailed or sent you so yea..... 

Sorry this email really sucks this week haha but oh well enjoy some pictures :) 

I LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK!!!!

TWO MONTH MARK

TWO MONTH MARK!!!!

    Wow how has time flown! I cant believe that two months ago to the day I was giving my last hugs and kisses to my sisters well and parents I guess for the next 18 months! As i was flipping through the hymn book yesterday at church I opened to Count your Blessings, which says....

        

1.When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

[Chorus]
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your blessings;
See what God hath done.
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.

2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings; ev'ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.
Count your many blessings; money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.

4. So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.

I have never realized how many blessing the lord bestows upon us if we are willing to accept them and have the patience to wait for those blessings. Patience is one thing I have really been focusing on... I am by far the most impatient person on the planet.... So as I have been studying it, I have found out that missionary work is all about patience.... lucky me.. so hopefully I will be able to master patience in the next 16 months... Doubt it... But its worth a try! Tying patience in with my last email about faith. President Pratts weekly email was about patience and he said "Patience is to Faith as rain is to a river. Without Patience our Faith is shallow." He proceeds to give examples of patience throughout the scriptures, and quotes from general authorities. One of my favorite quotes he shared was from President Uchtdorf, He taught that patience is not indolence: "....Patience is not passive..... Patience means to abide." 

I hope you all have a great week!! I am so happy that I have the opportunity to be here in Canada to share my testimony with those around me. Not only am I hear to help bring those unto Christ and to strengthen others testimonies around me, I am here to strengthen my testimony by doing the lords work! I LOVE you all!   

Love, 

   Sister Hardy <3       

P.S I tried lobster this past week..... It was ok..... I liked dissecting it better than eating it :)
