Tanya Messiah, "a sweet recent convert"


It is transfer time again. Elder Hanni is sad to be leaving Kentville, but excited for the new challenges and experiences he will have in Riverview, New Brunswick. As soon as we get an updated address we will add it. He is still Zone Leader over some of the same missionaries which made him happy. His new companion will be Elder Brett Bloxham from Rigby, Idaho.

Baptism of Elizabeth Hartley. Now her children want to get baptized too. Hopefully that will happen before transfers.

Elder Hanni was able to go back and visit Dean Hurlburt in Yarmouth. He was baptized just after Kevin got transfered.

A few new pictures.

From Elder Hanni's February 4, 2009 letter.
"Oh man, yesterday we had a gigantic snowstorm! It made me so mad! We had a super sweet day planned out. We were going to be teaching all day and visiting our coolest people, but then it started snowing and ruined everything. Our car got stuck 3 times. I was driving, so Elder Brawley had to get out and push."

How the car looked after the latest storm.

The finished product

Hey,

Sorry, it's been a long time since I updated this. Does anyone even read this? If you do, comment.

Kevin is doing great.
We have had to ask him a few questions about when we pick him and his plans after his mission for school reasons. It kind of freaked him out because time is going so fast.

An investigator is getting married in the Kentville chapel at the end of February so she can then be baptized. Kevin was asked to be a member of the wedding party. Not sure if that is appropriate for a missionary. He told them they needed to check with the Bishop.

He continues to have great missionary experiences. One of these days he may actually get to perform a baptism. He has been instrumetal in several, but gets transferred before they occur. He is ok with that because the most important thing is that they get baptized, not who does it. He considers himself a "finder".
