Hey Yall!
The Decatur District. This week has been crazy! None the less we have been able to have a lot of great experiences! We have been trying to help the Madison 3 Sisters find new investigators. We told them to pray about some street names and we would go tract those streets. One day right before we went to tract in their area, we did some tracting in our area. We knocked some doors and people were nice but nothing to good. Well we decided to knock one last door. The man opened up and we said, "We are missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.." "Well come on in!" He replied quickly. Wow. We sat and talked for 15 minutes and got a return apt with him. He loves the church and kept telling us how proud he was of us doing what we do. Then we tracted in Madison 3. Well we tracted the entire street and the last door, we knock on, its pretty dark out by now, and a lady answers, we told her we were representatives of Jesus Christ and wanted to pray with her. She told us she would love to and went on to explain that her family went to the Mormon church in Utah. We prayed with her and asked if the sisters could come back and teach her, she said she would love that! Wow. Simple stories but what miracles and great last door experiences! Its not until AFTER the trial of our faith do we receive a witness!:) So cool how the Lord blesses us as missionaries.
We have also been able to travel to baptisms and weddings. In Decatur, Nate and Angela were married and baptized and all went great! It was neat to see how they truely did want to repent and would do anything to feel the power of the Atonement. It made me think about what I would do, or give up just to come closer to Christ. We have also been traveling around the mission helping with spur of the moment emergencies. Those are always fun to do and keep you on your feet.
A really sweet LA, Manny, and I, in a cardigan!:) I do have some exciting news though, I will be transferring out of Madison. I have loved it here. Its been different then all my other areas as its so big, so many people and lots of places to go. Im sad to go, but Ive learned now you cant think about that part to much and you have to continue forth with your new area! I am also being released as a Zone Leader. Pres Hanks doesnt like old missionaries going home as a leader. He puts it as this, every one of you will be back to Buck Private. Which is good! Im sad that I wont be a Zone Leader anymore. I have loved being a Zone Leader. I have loved the missionaries that I have had the great opportunity to be their leader, I learned so much more from them, then they learned from me. I have loved being able to feel Heavenly Fathers love for them as well. But on the other hand, Im excited to go back to regular missionary work! I will figure out on Wednesday where ill be, so ill email yall then! Im excited for new adventures!
Sorry this is short, but as always im still super busy and gotta keep going! I love yall so much! Till next week, remember to be happy and "If you look good, smell good, and feel good, its all good" :)
Love Elder Hall
