The Adventures of Elder Hokanson

Aug 22

Well a hot temp all week of 37 degrees. 37x1.8+32=how hot it is, plus tons of humidity.Work is going well - we had 1 baptized on Sunday. Her daughter will be baptized on the 2nd next month. We are meeting with one young man’s parents on Sunday to get permission for baptism and one other girl that’s soon ready to commit to be baptized, so we just had one and we have maybe 3 more coming up. Looks good to me, mainly because they are all member referrals.Food news - we have a member cooking for us. We are trying to help her out with money. So she prepares good food better then us and for less money. She has more money, it gives her more to do, gets her out of the house and she likes us missionaries more. Win Win! Service in Brovary hit a new level of difficulty. We helped a member move into the area from Kiev and it’s a new place so it does not have an elevator, and they lived on the 10th floor so they had us split about 1 or 2 on every 3rd floor and passing things up for 3 HOURS! Yeah, I was dripping like crazy that day. We had so much going on we had to take 4 showers, we did not have time to study, and we were almost late to 2 appointments, but we had a member offer to us a ride to one of them and we met the other young man we were meeting on the road to the place where we were meeting him, so times worked out perfectly. But anyway, I am off. Talk to you next week. Love you all. PS - I got mom’s packages last Wed. and I think the other one is in Kiev but I can’t go in to get it.
