Hello hello!
It's Elder Hedrick coming to you live from Manhattan, Kansas! Temperatures here are currently humid and hot! I hope you all had an amazing week. Praying for all my friends and family in California because of the fires!
This week I have a funny story - so I jokingly hid the sister missionaries’ keys when we were all at the church. I forgot that I had hidden them, and then we left before them. Long story short - they were stuck at the church. All the other missionaries, including myself, were playing volleyball, and we were all curious why they were late. I heard one of the other sisters who was already at volleyball on the phone with the sisters still at the church. She asked, "Does anyone know about the first sisters keys?" I had a gut-dropping feeling right then and there. I apologized and told the sisters over the phone where their keys were. Long story short again - I had 4 sister jokingly yell at me. They shared Proverbs 21:19 - "It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman." But all is well; they all laugh at the story now, and we’re all great friends. I did bake brownies for them.
As General Conference is 50 days away, I will invite all of you to reread talks from the last conference and focus some study time on the restoration of the gospel. Try to remember ways we can hear Him!
Love you all,
Elder Hedrick
You might want to be careful about messing with the sisters. You never know when you might find yourself married to one of them. I know. It happened to me.
