Week 5
Well this week was pretty good but not much happened compared to last week. Tyrone is reading like a boss and he is in 3 Nephi last time I checked so he's probably done now. I got a letter from my recent convert Antonia from Trinidad and that made me really happy. She just talked about how the Gospel has given her such clear direction and she is so happy. I also got news from my other convert Roger that he is helping make a dvd for the ward and is on a committee for distributing food for the needy and he loves it.
I'm excited for this last week we will be getting transfer calls. I'm pretty sure I'm staying and Elder Parisot is moving. President Mehr and the AP's came and visited us this week. I had a triumphant moment. President Mehr asked all missionaries in the last zone conference to memorize D&C 121:34-46. So when he came on Tuesday he asked if anyone memorized it and I was the only one that raised my hand. So he had me stand up and recite it. I did it perfectly and he said "That's the best I've seen." "You get a hug!" So he came over and hugged me in front of everyone it was pretty funny.
We are focusing on bringing the Priesthood back and as you can see in the pictures below we had a great time with Bro Frazer aka Uncle B. This old man makes me laugh all day. And when he teaches people he always straightforwardly tells them to repent and come to church. He called us the other day to tell us about what he saw on Dr. Phil it was great. Yesterday his chicken got in his house and when he tried to pick it up it pecked him! And he started cussing like a sailor! I won't forget that.
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Hale
Hi! I'm excited to find your blog about this great missionary! My husband and I served in the New Amsterdam, Canje and Rose Hall areas and are considering serving in the West Indies again. The people there stole our hearts and four years later, we find our hearts are still in Guyana. Our prayers will be with your fine Elder and the others servicing with him. Thank you for your blog and this walk down Memory Lane!
ReplyDeleteThank you Elder Hale for being such a wonderful companion to my son Elder Parisot. He has great memories and has grown so much with you as his companion. May your journey as a Zone leader continue to bring great success.
