HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO HALE FAMILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY!!! ( And others)
This week has been one of ups and downs resulting in a kind of
medium well week. We taught our first member present this week but it
was kind of in a round about of a manner. We taught his kids and wife
who are mormon and he stayed around to listen. Haha! But talking to his
wife she says that very slowly, we will have an impact on him and that
he will eventually want to hear the whole of the gospel. By small and
simple things right? I actually was on exchange this week with our New
district leader Name Elder Mckenne from NORTHERN Ireland. Becuase if you
just say just Ireland he will get mad at you. Haha but we were on
exchange and got a call from the women I was just telling you about name
Louisa. She called to tell us that we probably should not come around
for another 24 hours because her son was radioactive..... Weirdess call
I've ever gotten in my life. Well apparenly her son went through some
tests recently and they had to inject him with radioactive Isotopes for
the tests. Wow that was crazy.
So a little miricle this week. Wendsday to Thursday afternoon I got
to lead the area. The district leader, who is only 4 months older then
me, came on exchange to my area and I led it for about 36 hours.....
AHHHH! That was hard. Well thursday afternoon we ran into a member that
we were not planning on visiting that day. In fact my companion
specifically asked me not to go see her, because he wanted to do
something special with them the next couple of day. Well when we ran
into this member she asked us to stop by and we were kind of taken a
back and just said yes... I was scared my companion was going to kill
me. But anyways we were out and about visiting potentials and we ran
into one of our potentials right as she was leaving to go pick up her
kids from school. This is Suzette, her kids are the ones that we played
with for an hour the other day. We got one of the little kids a badge
from Elder Sutcliff (one of the old and favorite missionaries from this
area) and we gave it to Suzette to give to her son. We had some stuff we
wanted to talk about, but it just didnt feel right, so we didnt say
anything. We said goodbye and then went to visit some other potentials.
We got the call from Louisa, and then we went to try by the member who
asked us to stop by. Well she wasnt home and we were kind of worried
about what we were going to do next. We tried to call a few people but
nothing was falling into place. So we just started walking and all the
sudden we hear this HEY!!! We look up and Liam (One of Suzettes kids) Is
running over to us. On his shirt he has the missonary badge. He yells
for his mom and 2 seconds later Suzette walks around the corner. We
started talking to her again and we told her why we were still in the
area ( to visit the member who she lives next door to) and she said that
we could wait at her place.... Now that was crazy. We have never been
able to have a sit down with the potential yet. She has always been to
busy. So we went over to her house and had an amazing chat with her and
got some insight on how to help her. It was amazing!
So that was my miricle this week. The last couple of days though
have been hard because my companion has been super sick. Mom you were
asking me questions about my companion. Honeslty I dont know why I was
chosen to be his companion. Maybe because I do have a little bit more
compassion for people or maybe because of my experiences with you. All I
know is that its been pretty hard just sitting in the flat just trying
to find something to do. He has bad migranes but also he has stomach
problems as well. They also make each other worse so sometimes he can
pretty out for the count.
Thank you guys for praying about Judie and Zoe. We have not been
able to contact them this week and it has been really frustrating but
then we were reminded that this is exam time right now. And exams are
hard over here. Like ACT and SAT hard. They also determine what school
you are going to for a higher education so we are wondering if thats
why. We are hoping that it is and that if all goes well we will be able
to set up a celebration for them or something to just get us in contact
again! Hopefully their brother/son will call us also to get us to do
some service.
Mom I will try to write chandler today. Hes going to be there this
thursday? A letter from here to the MTC should only take about 2 days.

chandler.
