Crazy, Busy, Safe!

Hey Yall!

Wow has it been a crazy week! I dont have to much time but just wanted to let yall know about everything thats been happening! Does this not look like a white Matt with a little more hair on top??

• This week has again been filled with service. We have been helping our less active lady at radio shack and continue to help at the food pantry which both have been great! 
• On Wednesday we went to go do another baptism interview. We got there and to make a long story really short the sisters were driving with a member and the investigator being baptized and they ran outta gas, so we did the interview on the side of the road! haha but none the less the work goes on and satan cant stop it! No matter how funny it may have looked we got er done;) 

• Me and President Hanks with his shirt on. The Man, the Myth, the Legend, and that's his grrrr face to show his tenacity which he wants all of us to have;)
  
  

• Friday we had district meeting then I went on exchanges and spent friday and saturday in Amory. We did a lot of tracting out in the boonies but to our surprise we had a lot of success! We met a ton of great people and taught a few lessons! 
• Saturday night and Sunday were stake conference and Elder Teh from the 70, that spoke at general conference came and spoke to us! We also got an investigator, Donny, to the sunday session for a little bit before he had to leave. But no other missionary since about 2 years ago have been able to get him to come to church, so that was great:) 
• Monday we had a zone activity with the South zone as well. President was doing interviews and then what do ya know, we have tornado watches, then warnings. So we all went into the chapel and started to sing songs. The power started to flicker then darkness. We still just kept singing. It turns out that the tornado started right above the church that we all were in.

• These are some people in the Corinth Ward i was able to see! John Atichson is on the very end with a blue shirt. He was the first man i baptized. Something i forgot to put in the letter is after the Sunday session of stake conference, me and my trainer, Elder Galorath were able to be in the circle together when John got the Melchizedek priesthood. Last year we baptized him and now, a year later, we both were there to see him get the priesthood! So dang cool!!

• Heavenly Father has been protecting us and watching over us! We were there for 3 or 4 hours. Then President sent out the first missionaries to go home. That was me and Elder Black, and the sisters in our area. Then a few hours later all the others got sent home. We drove past some of the spots where the tornado hit and there were powerlines down and tress in half. One major spot that got hit was the mall in Tupelo, which the crazy thing is, is that me and Elder Black were there just a couple hours before it hit! Nuts! But we are all safe and sound! We have to stay in our apt all day today. 
• It was Prez Hanks B day yesterday as well. Wow what a crazy one. I made him a shirt and ill send ya a pic of it. But he loved it.  

So that was my week kinda in a nut shell. There was probably a lot left out but thats ok haha. Transfers are the wednesday after mothers day just so yall know. But I have to make this short so i can get back inside. I love yall so dang much! Have a great week! Keep the south in your prayers. Remember to be happy! Those who are prepared need not fear!

Love Elder Hall:)
