We can sense that Chase is doing well on a daily basis and has become accustomed to the MTC schedule. We continue to feel that he is struggling with fluency in the language and we continue to petition daily for the Lord to bless him in this area. As you read below change is constant. New language, new responsibility as a District leader and another new companion. Sounds like life as we all know it. We have no concern regarding his leadership ability. As a Priest Chase did a great job as the Bishop's First Assistant. I am sure as he applies the same principles he learned then he will do fine.
enjoy,
Mom,
Thank you for the prayers they help a lot. I have been struggling the past couple of days because our companioship turned into a trio. Talk about complicated! I have been trying to teach with this but it is super hard and challenging. Also we have to teach in Spanish this week in the TRC, which is a opportunity to teach to live investigators. I am so stressed, but I know i will do fine with lots of faith and lots of prayer and lots of work. I hope my insights helped because they have helped me a ton. Anyways the past couple of days have been challenging with tuning in with the spirit while we teach in a trio. It is way harder to feel the promptings of the spirit in between us. I have been trying so hard to teach to peoples needs and teach in spanish. It is so difficult. But I can get through it and I know the Lord is testing me all the way to helpe me become a better tool in the hands of the Lord. Also the MTC food is fine my weight keeps going everywhere but I am maintaing it. The only problem is your sending me all these treats that are tempting me to eat them. They are good especially the brownies! Ummm thats way exciting for the new house!!! Also for Navy to be walking all the time. Cannot wait till I get to see her! Thank you for the addresses and what is the full address of Ashley Lindbloms address. I am also sick and thank you Elder Andrus! Its all good I am maintaing it and I am stilll working hard. I also forgot that I have been made a District Leader of my District. Little interesting haha. Anyways im glad I can lead my district and help them in any way I can. Spanish is coming little by little. Still struggling here and there, but I think the main thing I struggle with is making myself speak and talk in Spanish. Also Steven has been writing me and giving me some tips before I come he is so awesome.
The biggest thing about missionary work is were here to teach people not lessons. Our teacher evaluated us on our teaching and said we need to teach to peoples needs. It is really hard, but I know its possible. It will take a lot of practice and diligence. I love to teach, but it is challenging because we are a trio now. So it is hard to take turns talking. Oh yeah the other companion we have is Elder Brixey and he is from Dallas, Texas. He is a very good man and is a little older than us. He has such a good spirit. So a spiritual thought I have is in our Testimony meeting on Fast Sunday. The spirit was so strong because the missionaries that learn and grow here, build a stronger testimony. While I was sitting and listening to other bear their testimony, my mind went to D&C 135 when Joseph and Hyrum Smith were about to get murdered. Before they were killed they were reading in the book of Ether 12:37. It made me realized what kind of testimony they have and they were willing to die than to deny the gospel of Jesus Christ. Absolutely amazing!! I need to be like them and fear nothing in this life and never deny what I know to be true.
I cannot think of anything really to say that was funny this week. oh well
Con Amor,
Elder Hall
