Sorry guys not a lot of time today.
This week has been a pretty good one! We got THREE member presents! Yes! A lot of them have been miricles and have been really cool to see them happen. We talked to several people we have been trying to get in contact with and have build up our bonds with them really well I think. Hopefully, they will be able to open up even more and want to progress further in learning the Gospel.
This week was a lot of fun because I got to paint a little kids ceiling with glow in the dark paint. Haha, that was really cool! Im thinking of getting some and writing BEWARE accross the top of my companions bed. Just so when a new one comes to this area, he will get a fright! Haha, it was really cool thought, because this family we did it for was a part member family. After we painted the ceiling we were lucky to teach them the plan of salvation. I used the puzzle that I got from home and it was very useful to get the kids involved. Dave (the non member father) sat there listening. He has explained him self saying that he doesnt want to learn, but yet when we teach a lesson he still stays. He listens, and will even fold his arms and pray with us. We are hoping that the more we teach, the more he will want to learn more.
This last week, I was trying to find something to teach to a recently activated family for FHE. I ended up finding the scripture mastery in Matthew 5:14-16. Let your light so shine, that all men will be able to see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven. When I read  your letter mom, it made me think about living in the world but not of the world. Talking to this family who was recently Living OF the world it was something they needed to hear. We basically got to the conclusion that if you Let your light so shine, then you wont be living OF the world. Becasue only your light can shine, if your living OF christ. We talked about, in every situation, in every moment, of every day. If you try to let your light shine always. Then you will truly be seperated from the world and living in christ.
Dad. I love you. I dont have enough time this week, but im going to be sending you a proper fathers days email next week. I love you guys!
Till Next Week - Elder Hale
