Hey fam how is everything going? Man this has been a crazy but awesome week. The mission is flying by so fast I cant even explain it. It feels like I wrote you guys a couple hours ago when really its been a week. I love the mission so much and I don’t know how to slow it down so I am just trying to work harder and harder so I can make everything out of every minute I have left. I am not going to lie, I have been a little trunky this past week. One of my zone leaders, elder wilde, who also lives with us is going home in a week. He is always talking about home and what he is going to do and also his parents are coming down to pick him up. So that has made me a little trunky but its all good.
Before I start I just want to tell jenna happy bday for the 24th!!! I hope you have a good one. Also I sent you a card a little while back and hope that you got it. Also mom, I got the package that you guys sent me and it was awesome thanx. It had exactly what I needed and a little more. Also this week was a big week. I hit my year mark in chile. It is so so so weird. It doesn’t seem like I have been here for a year. Everything just feels like a long dream. Also to let you guys know, my pulga bite count is up to more than 200… These stupid creatures have found their home and they are having party after party but it cant get me down. When I come back and I look like a leper just know its not my fault. My comp wants to burn my bed but I told him that I wouldn’t have a place to sleep and he told me he was willing to take that risk. Then I told him that I was going to switch him beds and he decided to take back his words… haha
But ya this week we have kept up with the tradition of knocking doors for a full day. It was such a good day and we found tons of people to teach. We found this awesome young couple that got married about a year ago. They were really awesome and invited us in without us saying anything. If any of you guys know anything about knocking doors, that is a miracle. Usually we have to pay them to let us come through the door. Haha but it was awesome. They said that they believe in Christ but not in the churches. We taught a little about lesson 1 and said a prayer to end. Then they asked us when we were going to come back… which is another huge thing cause usually we have to fight to get a return appt. They are really awesome and we are going back to teach them tonight so I hope everything goes well.
We had another huge miracle this week. On Sunday we had 6 investigators in the church. This one lady walked in and we didn’t know her. So we went to talk to her and it turns out that she has been receiving the missionaries in another sector but could never go to church cause she lived far away from a chapel and she had to work Sundays. But she moved in with her mom and now she wants to come to church. So we went by yesterday to teach her and she said that she wants to be baptized… Man we have seen so many miracles these past 4 weeks its crazy. The Lord really blesses us when we work with all our hearts, might, minds and strength. We personally didn’t do anything but I think the Lord saw that we are working hard to he decided to trust His sons and daughters in our hands. A quote our mission president has is “the Lord gives golden investigators to golden missionaries” and it is really true. He is not going to give His children to missionaries that aren’t going to be able to help them. I am so grateful that I have His confidence.
On Saturday maricela passed her baptismal interview and she will be baptized this Friday. Oh man she is so awesome. She has a way strong testimony and loves the gospel and especially the Lord, Jesus Christ. She chose me as the one that gets to baptize her. This will me my first time in the mission when I get to do the ordinance and I am really excited. She is going to make a awesome member in the Church of Jesus Christ.
Ya well that was my awesome week. I am loving everything down here and just having a blast. Thanx for always writing me you guys, I hope you all have a awesome week. You are all in my prayers, keep my investigators in yours.
Love ya tons
Elder Hall
