Weeds or Snow?

Hello friends and family! It's been another good short week here in Peoria AZ! We found 4 new people this week and are finding like crazy lately so our already huge teaching pool just keeps growing and growing! The other day we taught 7 lessons in one day and it was AWESOME. I love this area and the people here so much. We spent a good amount of time pulling the nautious weeds that take over this entire state! There was one point where we had gotten all the weeds except for a small patch of especially dead ones. And when we stepped on them it made the exact same sound as packed snow when you step on it. You know when it crunches under your feet and the hair on your neck kindof stands up and its a disgusting noise? Yeah I love that noise and miss it so much. I just closed my eyes and for a few moments all of us missionaries were walking on snow and it was heavenly. Hilariously pathetic but heavenly. I had two kindof tough days when everything fell though I felt super weird, but every good moment makes up for the hard ones! We also had interviews this week which I love and need every time! I had a bunch of questions and I didn't even need to ask them, President Collins opened his mouth and the spirit spoke to me everything that I needed to hear. That is always ALWAYS how it works. God knows every one of his children PERFECTLY and INDIVIDUALLY. I realized that I need to rely more on and trust the spirit and not my own strength. Because I'm literally nothing when up against this great work that I've been called to do every single day. Like I've got absolutely nothing. But I do have thee greatest source of strength behind me, my Savior! He keeps me up and helps me do it all. I will leave you all with a challenge to pray for others this week! To just take a time to kneel down and think of all the people in your life who could use some extra comfort or strength right now. There is power in prayer and there is even more power in thinking outside of yourself! He HEARS and He HEALS. I'm so sorry for all the emails I haven't answered, I seriously love you all and am super grateful for every email sent my way! Keep coming into Christ yall! You've got all my love! Sister Hardy

Hey Fam!! Holy cow I've been here a solid half an hour maybe and I already LOVE it. It's so fun. My companion is sister Stoddard from Minneapolis and she is so funny and nice! She says she doesn't sport much and just barely said "ok so don't take candy from strangers but like... burritos are fine." She says she has a friend sending her a burrito in the mail. She's going to be awesome. Dane one of my teachers is from Africa and he's the most hilarious guy I have ever met in my life no joke. He says he plays ALOT of 2k and I was the only one who understood what he was talking about when he was talking and he thought that was awesome so thank you for that! Anyways they really throw you right into things here I threw my bags on my bottom bunk that I claimed and am headed straight to class! I LOVE YOU GUYS Also my P-day is Tuesday! I miss you but am so happy and feeling so welcomed and love it here so much. Sister Hardy
