Week 6 has come and gone. Chase continues to do well and he is busy as evidenced by the details he provides. Interesting note regarding his current campanion's Brother who is serving in Japan. The good news is that Elder Andrus' brother is safe and accounted for but I am sure as young missionaries in the MTC this creates reflection on what they may face when the arrive in Honduras. Chases Mom was pretty upset when she heard about the lack of information that was available in Japan about some of the missionaries there. It would be very hard to have to wait for several days to hear news about a son or daughter who was involed in such a large scale natural disaster while serving in a foreign land. What we do know is that the Lord watches over them, goes before them, prepares a way for them and will carry them if needed. (D & C 84:71-88) God bless the missionaries.
Here is this weeks letter.
Hey Mom,
Yeah it was a suprise to see her at the MTC. I couldnt remember her name at all but I stopped her anyways and explained who I was lol. Luckily she remembered. Okay I will use the ATM Card ha my bad and I pretty sure I have 200 bucks in cash still, no worries. That is awesome that Emily and Kyle are in the same ward as Ashley's parents! That makes me laugh and I love her parents. Sound like everyone is doing well and settling in. Oh Chelsey is just as busy as ever nothing new there lol Tell her good luck! Yeah I heard about the Earthquake and Tsunami from my companion Elder Andrus. His brother is in the Japan mission right now where they got hit. His brother is fine and safe, but its crazy how it happens. Really good opportunity for missionaries to help them out.
Well this week was interesting because Trio companionship is struggling on teaching. We have started to teach in Spanish and its going okay, but its a lot better than I thought I would do. In our TRC task we taught in spanish and that was rough and hard. But we managed to do it. I am pretty sure they understood us and which is an accomplishment. Also when I teach other missionaries and stuff they said I do pretty good. Grandpa and Grandma Reid sent me a letter in the mail in Spanish mostly and I could understand it pretty well! I have been struggling though because I am so consumed with being district leader and trying to have companionship unity when we teach. The Lord is truly testing me and I am relying on him for help and guidance. Alsoo I feel like I have not gotten much done with the work and being prepared for the mission field! I only have three weeks left!!! It is so crazy! We have a District leaving for Chile this week and were getting a new one so our Zone is starting to get more new comers and our district and another are the senior ones. It is ssoooooo crazy to think about! Also I am over my sickness and we had another get sick, Elder Braegger, and he went to the doctor to get a check up because he has been in his bed for a couple of days. The clinic found out that he might have influenza so he is in quarintine for the next couple of days!! Then they had our whole district come in and they gave us anit virus pills so we dont get the sickness and spread it around.Crazy!!! But funny at the same time. That is pretty much to what has happened this week.
Spiritual thought is I had the opportunity to annoint oil on Elder Braeggers head and then we did a blessing it was so cool. The feeling of being able to help someone when theree sick is absolutely amazing in every way. The priesthood authority which we hold is so amazing. I have also been looking at Jesus the Christ stuff and the book is amazing and shows how mucht the Savior has blessed our lives.
Funny story, I think its funny how our whole district has to take a pill for not spreading the influenza. We are taking pictures of our pill that we have to take for ten days! Anyways thank you Grandpa and Grandma Hall for the treats. Thank you mom for the love and prayers. Also my companions like to eat Chips preferrably Lays BBQ and the other likes Sour Patches. I have a ton of treats ha but some Twizzlers wouldnt hurt!!
Con Amor,
Elder Hall
