Happy Mothers Day!

Hey Yall!

So first off I wanna wish all the mothers a happy mothers day yesterday!:) As yall know I got to skype my family. It was awesome to see them and to talk with them! They can now tell yall all about my southern slang haha but it was a great time.

Long dirt road that we walked on for hours! So this week we did the usual of trying to see less actives and finding people on the roster that we have never met as well as trying to teach lessons to investigators. We were able to teach Wayne. He is a good guy. He has done some wrong things in his life, and his brother just helped him get out of jail. He lives with his brother now and because of that feels like his bro is making him come to church and making him do all these things. We talked with him and I was trying so hard not to be mad at my comp. First off we didn't start off with a prayer, which is so essential! Then wayne, his brother, and Elder Jensen started going back and forth with each other basically fighting over baptists and mormons. Then I my comp and wayne basically just went back and forth for about an hour without me even saying one word. I literally didn't have a chance to even pop into the conversation. And I noticed during the whole discussion that he was going over everything in the first lesson, but it was all over the place. Then I didn't feel like we should have invited him to be baptized, but my comp kept insisting that I do it so I finally asked him and he kinda was shocked and put back. Told us that June 1st was to soon, but my comp kept pushing it and pushing it. Well I was able to say a little bit at the end of the "lesson" and then just bore my testimony. After he said he would think about it and tell us when we came back on Tuesday so we will see what happens ha. And lets just say me and my comp had a good talk afterwards haha

The Happy birthday mom sent me:) and if you look in the corner you can see my new Alabama flag i bought!  But this week I've learned that here in Highland Home we walk a lot! There are the random dirt roads in Utah that usual lead to no where but here about half the county is long dirt roads. Ive spent hours walking on them! haha ill send pics of one of the sections of the dirt road we walked on! But its good for me to get out and walk!  Me celebrating my birthday with the little tiny cake:)

The one other experience I had this week was crazy. We had gotten a referral of a man who lived at the bottom of our area which is the bottom of the mission boundaries. We went down to go see him and we were trying to find his house as we were driving we noticed a big sign and wondered what it was. As we got closer to it we realized it was the next county! We couldn't stop suddenly so we ended up going out of our mission boundaries or a minute haha it was crazy! Kinda funny but we hurried and got back in. We ended up going to the mans house. His name is Andrei. He wasn't there but we called him the next day and talked with him. It kinda seems like he just wants someone to talk to but you never know. He could be ready to hear and accept the gospel.

Well this is a short letter just because nothing really new or exciting happened. haha im trying hard not to gain weight with my new microwave food diet haha But ill survive:) I wish yall the best of luck this next week! Remember to stay happy! Love Yall!

Love Elder Hall
