Hey Family,
Well parents I would say just talk about doing the normal things in the house. Family prayers, scripture reading, nothing in the house that would draw the spirit away. For example pictures, music, bad movies,or anything that would be in that category. I always loved coming home because I felt safe and protected. Also dedicating your house with a prayer as a family. Even though it was hard to listen to scriptures and have family prayer in the morning or night, it made the difference in my life. The home is a refuge from the world and all the evil that you are confronted with. Mom do you remember I went to a high school party for someones birthday and I came back early alone because Ashley did something I didnt like?? We had a good talk in the living room and you congratulated me for leaving because I lost the spirit fast at the party to the point where I felt sick and threw up. Then as soon as I left and came home I felt an overwhelming peace and the spirit of the Lord was present again. I thought about that experience the other day it was something I didnt understand at first but now I do. Thats what I thought of the home a place of refuge or holy place. But its only if you do the small and simple things to keep the spirit present. Also thanks for the prayers and help while you were thinking of me in the temple. It always gives me a surety that you guys love me so much. I also cant wait till I get home to go to the temple its going to be so sweet!! Tell Josey congrats and keep playing hard, also tell Chelsey to be careful with the Jeep because I dont want to be fixing anything up when I come home haha. No worries about Chelsey she will be fine!!
Well this week we were busy with lots of things to do. We had to go to Tegus for residency stuff and we got stuck there for two days because my comps residency had a problem. Then after we had a good district meeting and we did divisiones with a golden family that we found. Their names are Wilmur and Belkis and Wilmur is a member, but Belkis no. She told us that she wants to be baptized and married!! No doubts or problems and it was really weird to find someone who just wants to accept the gospel like that. So we will see what happens this week with them. Then Ruben and Belgica have problems now because they fight over the littlest thing and they want to separate. We talked to Belgica and she is super nice and wants to get baptized and married but her husband no. She wants it so bad but he doesnt. So we have to find a way to talk to them both and figure out if they want to do this for real or not. Then the next day we helped out with a marriage in Las Uvas de Linaca which is a small village that is way far out there. The Elders there married and baptized a guy who couldnt walk and so we had permission to baptize him. Other than that it was just a tiring week and we didnt find any new investigators at all. But we will this week and we have a huge activity this saturday. We are having a big baptism day with three zones and from what we are looking at there are possibly 55 to 60 baptisms going in the water at the same time. So it should be a big event for us. I am excited for that photo to show you guys. Everything is going well though here and I feel good. I am not going to lie sometimes its hard to focus when I have almost 4 months left in my mission. I still cant believe that time flies like crazy!! Anyways I will finish strong and thanks for everything. You guys are awesome and make the world to me. I love you all!!! Well thanks for everything and talk to you guys later!!
Tu Hijo Amado,
Elder Hall
