Mission Update
It was great to get an update from Loran (Charley) and Kathy Hardy. Here is what they have to say.
The first picture attached was taken right after we arrived. We are in a rural area on Long Island in a town called Riverhead. It is beautiful here. The two branches were excited to have us come. They were very welcoming. We were asked to be leadership support for two branches that were meeting in the church building next door to us. Our branch area includes the North Arm of Long Island which includes Greenport and the South arm of Long Island which includes the Hamptons and Sag Harbor and Montauk. We do a lot of traveling. Sense we have been here they moved one of the Branches to Hampton Bays to be closer to the membership. Elder Hardy was called to be the Branch Mission Leader in both branches. We correlate with the 8 other missionaries in our area. 
(The second picture was taken after district meeting.) We teach an Institute class on Tuesday nights on the Doctrine and Covenants. We work in the Manhattan Temple on Wednesdays. That is quite a commute. We travel to Queens, park at the mission office and catch a subway to the temple. The Temple is across the street from Julliard. We are involved in many ways with the branches. It is great knowing the people we have met here and associating with the missionaries, going teaching with them and seeing the mission miracles. 
Elder Hardy is helping take down the stalls in the horse barn that is in back of our house. The Stake President wants to remodel it for a larger place to have activities. The missionaries have been helping. There are sister missionaries that even got involved. I will attach that picture also. Elder Hardy has really been enjoying working out there in the barn when ever time allows, usually in the mornings. He is looking forward to helping build some handcarts for the up coming trek this summer when they get the rest of the rubble hauled out of the barn. They will work on those there. We are feeling well and having a wonderful time. Love from Elder and Sister Hardy
