Hi everyone,
This email is going to be really short; I just don’t have much
time.
It’s been a good week here in Manhattan. We’ve done lots of
walking in the heat and humidity but it’s been a great week anyway.
-Manny finally came to church yesterday. It only took us one
phone call to remind him and he even showed up 15 minutes early. He loved it!
-We fasted for Arenda yesterday. Every time we meet with
her she amazes me. Her faith for a 19 year old is incredible. We have
talked a lot about submitting to God's timing and sacrificing on our
part. Even if it isn't her time to be baptized she is willing to wait
until next August. She knows its true and I've promised her that I'll be there
to see her enter into that covenant when it does happen.
-Heavenly Father blessed us with putting Johnny into our path
this week. He's from India and has so much faith in Jesus Christ. He's now
reading from the Book of Mormon and attending the Wednesday night institute
class taught by the Stake President. It still amazes me that I only had to come
to Kansas to meet half of the world.
As always transfers have come around again. Because Sister T and
I go home at the same time its looking like I’m going to be moved for my last
transfer. I have mixed feelings about it all. I always get so attached to people
and having to say goodbye is the worst (it doesn't help when they start to cry
as they say goodbye to you either.... yesterday was no fun). I'm so grateful
for everyone that I've been able to meet while serving. These people have so
much faith and courage. I have to keep reminding myself that Kansas really
isn't that far from Utah. Someday I'll come back and visit.
I'm so grateful for the Gospel and to have it in my life. I
couldn't be happier to have served here in Manhattan. I guess we will see where
the Lord takes me next.
Be safe
Sister Hall
