Posting his latest letter. This week was great for our family because Chase was able to call home for Mothers Day. Not sure why Fathers Day doesn't get the same blessing??:)
He sounded great, he is safe, happy and had some great stories to tell about what he is doing. He is excited that they expect a family to enter the waters of baptism at the end of the month. It is easy to tell that he is growing in leaps and bounds as he is blessed for his hard work The only bad part of the call was having to say goodbye again.....but we feel extremely fortunate that he is doing so well. Once again some tears were shed but given his letter the next day below he is doing great.
Mom,
Hey it was awesome to talk to you all yesterday!! I forget how much I forget the sounds of your voices. And with Steven I have no clue but we're only aloud one hour with our family. Well thats good that Chad has no cancer! But sad about Jens mom. I hope she will be okay. I sent a letter to Landon a few week ago hopefully he received it. Thank you for the package. Ahhh it was so good to talk to you all.
Well this week the Lord blessed us sooo much. We started the week off with that Liure experience that I told you guys about on the phone. Then we contacted and taught a lot of people this week. We reached 32 lessons I think. We have three families that are being prepared for baptism. They all just need to come to church and they will be ready by the end of the month. We had one family show up to church this week which was such a blessing. The Lord really blessed us this week because of how busy we were with teaching. Our Rama or Branch, did an activity to obtain references and we planned to show the Joseph Smith movie and have popcorn and soda. We had all the members give out invitations to bring there friends. We had this on Friday and so we start preparing for the activity and its about time for everyone to show and there are not many people. But our microwave goes out. Then the projector that we were going to show the Joseph Smith movie for was not there yet. We did not get it until like 730 and the activity started at 6. After a while a lot of people show up and there was about 170 people there. And nothing is working out at all. So we are trying to get the movie going but it wont work or show up. We had so many investigators show up! We came to the point of ending it because we didnt have a movie and not enought popcorn or soda. It was a complete disaster. I could not believe how many people showed up it was crazy. We felt so bad and defeated but we still pushed on and met with our investigators that were there. We apologized and they actually took it pretty well. They were not mad but humble. I am pretty sure the Lord was helping and teaching us a lesson. Which we did. But we still pushed on the rest of the week. I am hoping to keep going forward in the work. The Lord is truly blessing and guiding us. I love the mission. I am learning soo much here.
What else happened.... oh yeah we went had a multi zone activity today and played basketball, soccer, ate food, and watched a movie. Today was soo much fun and we are all tired because of how much basketball we played lol. The stake center here is huge!! Anyways I think that is all. Hope all goes well this week.
Con Amor,
Elder Hall
