July in Bible Park :)

7 July through 13 July 2014 ‏
We had a long drive home on Friday (we were up in Westminster), and this is what we saw!

Dana had her baptism date set for Sunday, but she has had some trouble recently. Her family is kind of pressuring her into thinking that the decision she is making is wrong. We talked to her this weekend and expressed to her our concern and how she wouldn't be experiencing the happiness she is now if this weren't true. Satan CANNOT fabricate peace. He can fake everything else: happiness, joy,

Dana had her baptism date set for Sunday, but she has had some trouble recently. Her family is kind of pressuring her into thinking that the decision she is making is wrong. We talked to her this weekend and expressed to her our concern and how she wouldn't be experiencing the happiness she is now if this weren't true. Satan CANNOT fabricate peace. He can fake everything else: happiness, joy, love, etc. But not peace. This woman is a beast. She can do this.

On Tuesday, we went on exchanges with the sisters in Greenwood Village and we taught a young girl who is 11!!! That's how old I was when I began learning about the church. I was sooooo excited for her!!! I don't remember the missionary lessons....except I remember the word of wisdom lesson :D. Anyways! It was wonderful! --We brought a laurel, Angel, from the ward with us and it was great!

Later that day, Angel came with us to another lesson with a woman named Lorie. It was cool because before Arlene's appointment, Sister Makasini asked Angel if she wanted to serve a mission and Angel was a bit unsure--had the desire, but hadn't made up her mind yet. Well, after Lorie's appointment eight hours later(!), Angel told us that she had made her decision about serving a mission! She began to cry and told us that she decided to serve! Isn't that amazing?! Tender mercies.

We had gumbo last Monday and yes, that is a craw-fish. And it still had eyes. I was a bit wary.

And of a lesser importance last Monday we had permission to go to Cafe Rio!!! and we had the chance to go to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science! Here is Rex.

Sister Liao and myself! She is from Taiwan and she is the cutest!

I don't have much time left, but I love you all and I know that your prayers are heard by our Father in Heaven!

Love, Sister Hardy
