So to start off I just want to clear up any rumors that may spread with my subject line. Yes im in love. In love with the gospel, with the prophet, and with Christ! I fell in love again after the amazing sessions of general conference we just had! I will get to those at the end of the email, but just wanted to let everyone know how I truly feel right now!
So just some highlights of the week.
- Transfers on Wednesday. We got a set of sister missionaries in that are great! Sisters Hazelgreen and Mcdowell. They are gonna help the branch out a ton!
- We found out a family in our area thats part members, the mom and her fiance arent but the kids are members. They were gonna lose there home, we had to go over and comfort them and help them with anything they needed. Well they have a little more time now and we have helped them out tremendously with feeling more of the spirit.
- Went on exchanges and taught a man, Ladarious, who "has" telekinesis, and thinks that the government is taking over everything and everything they do is of the devil, who doesnt exsist but is in everything all at the same time haha. #crazysouthernpeople
- Conference!!!
- We saw an eternal investigator last night that every set of missionaries that have taught him have asked if he wanted to go to church. He still has never been. Until.. Wait for it.... I made a comprimize with him that we would continue to pop in and see him every now and then if he comes with us to stake conference at the end of the month. He AGREEED!!!!! haha i cant wait!
- O also i know have 2 men that i baptized that hit there year mark and both are doing great! Scott and John!
So one quick story. There was a tornado that hit Pontotoc, So it hit a city about hal half hour away from us. There were some sisters in my district that it hit close to them. Then traveled south down mississippi, so it never came our way. Well we have this weather radio that goes off during times like these and its a loud high pitched beep. We keep it at the foot of my comps bed on the floor. I heard it go off. I was still half asleep at the time but all i remember is walking over and I guess i bumped my comps leg cuz he woke up and I slammed my hand on the floor to try and get it. Well i missed cuz it was completely dark, I had the cord in my hand though and i threw the cord and the radio crashed agianst the wall. Haha my comp said he remembers feeling something on his foot, waking up and hearing a big crash. Then he told me I walked back to my bed and said, "IM SO SICK OF THIS." haha I didnt even know there was anything going on. Then i went back to sleep. Well our zone leaders were trying to do a txting tree and i never heard the phone go off so my comp txted everyone making sure they were ok. Well about half an hour to an hour later they did another one which i woke up to and txted everyone then passed out again. In the morning I woke up and my comp asked me, "Could you believe that storm??" I said "What storm?" haha he then went on to explain about all the lightning and thunder and wind and rain and how loud and freaky it was. Haha so moral of the story is that if a tornado ever comes at night time, Elder Hall is dead. So i say goodbye to you now:)
Now real quick I just want to send clips of conference that i loved. But first i just gotta say that i love how kindly they "Rebuked the crap" outta the whole church! haha ok Prez Monson, "We are temple building and temple attending people" Its nuts that the past 2 conferences we havent had any temples announced! We can do more:) Elder Holland "Live the gospel, Defend your beliefs. In pursuing this course you will have unshackable faith." Linda Reeves, "Take responsibility for your own spiritual well being." I wish i could send you all of them but i dont have to much time, so just a couple more real quick. Elder Oaks "Men and women are both endowed with priesthood power!" Elder Packer, "Be faithfully devoted to Jesus Christ." Elder Christofferson "In the reality of the Atonement, our lives are His" And lastly by Prez Monson, "God is our Eternal Father taht lives and loves us. How close He is willing to come, how far He is willing to go to help us!" Remember that Christ team WILL win, lets stay on it and play the best game we can:)
Love yall so dang much! Im in love with my mission right now! I cant tell yall how much it has helped me and how much i have grown and strengthened and have been so much happier. When we give our lives to the Lord thats when we will truely find ourselves:) Remember to be happy and have a great week!
Love Elder Hall:)
