This week has been another busy one. We missionaries were invited by the bishop of our ward to give a lesson for a ward FHE on Saturday. It went well and it was a nice change in schedule. The FHE was on unity. We had a few volunteers come up an as teams of two they had to try moving a balloon in between their hips up to their cheeks without using their hands (I hope that makes sense.). It was really funny to watch. Another game was listing random items for the primary kids to get and return to the front an the first one to do it was the winner. One of the things was to go grab their dad's hanky. I thought "how do you know that all the dads have hankys?" It turns out everyone carries around hankys here. I didn't notice that before.
Earlier this week on an assignment from the sisters who are in desperate need of a new apartment we did a little "house hunters international" here in the area. We spent the morning looking for different apartments and found one that was pretty good.
A really good lesson we had this week was last night with the Grampa family. We had a great FHE with them last Monday with them and everyone had a great time. Last night we taught them the word of wisdom. Brother Grampa has a bit of a problem with drinking and smoking and his wife doesn't like it. He told us that hopefully he would be able to change his life. That's when we knew it was the perfect time for the word of wisdom lesson. It went well and we committed them to live it although Brother Grampa will most likely have some relapses.
Things are winding down for this transfer and next p day will be my last in the area until I transfer to manila. I am actually really excited to transfer even if it's to Manila because I have been in this area forever.
Love, Elder Harkness
