Workin Hard, Havin Fun and Bein Happy!

Hey Yall!

This week has gone by so fast! I cant believe another transfer is almost over! Time just keep speedin up! I wish there was more time to get everythin done! But this week has been good! It started off super cold but then ended hot and rainy haha All the sisters:)

This week we started out by tryin to find more opportunities for servin the city. Well we walked and walked around and found a salvation army. They told us no and kicked us out... Haha not cuz we are mormon, but i guess they had a contract with someone and told them that they wouldnt allow volunteers. But we found a food bank and they told us to come back on Friday. But after we did that we had our first Scripture Study. We had our ward mission leader there and a recent convert. It was a good one. We talked about faith. We are gonna get more people out each week and this'll give members a missionary opportunity.

This is our district. This week we have seen a few less actives, but have tracted a ton! We were able to go to the Food bank and met a kid that had seen the book of mormon play. But he was interested in our message and said we could come back and teach him so we are gonna go back this next week. We also had a day where nothing really was goin right and everyone wouldnt answer there doors. We rode by this one lady and to make a long story short, she was a single mom and her daughter is 4. She said she didnt get to talk to adults a lot, but we talked with her and she said we could come back as well! We invited her to Sacrament meetin and scripture study as well. We are still just tryin to find people. But things are startin to look up from here:)

2012 championship tophy. They also had 2009 2011. The bear bryant museum was awesome:) Sorry this letter is so short. I dont have to much time. But at district meetin this past friday, I gave one of my best district meetins I thought. It was on our purpose as missionaries. I figured out somethin pretty cool. We only need to focus on 2 things. One is to be a friend. To love, create relationships and have fun. The other is to be a good shepard. In Hymn 221, Dear to the Heart of the Shepard, it is one of my new favorite hymns. We have sang it alot on my mission and I love the last verse. It talks about how the Savior has been our shepard, so we will be others shepards. We need to help people come back into the fold. Bring them out of the rocky, dangerous mtns and back to the nice green pastures. Read luke 15 the parable of the sheep and also Ezek 34 and D&C 6 :32 til the end. They are all great scriptures on it. As we are peoples good shepards, we will want to help them spiritually. We will invite them and teach them true priciples. Sometimes they wont wanna listen. But we wont be dissapointed cuz we have done our part! I learned alot from my district as i gave this trainin!

But i hope that everyone is happy and has a great week! Love yall so much!

Love Elder Hall!
