Dear Family and Friends,
The Lords work is spectacular right?
and true or otherwise there wouldn’t be so many missionaries going out!!
haha snow!!! I hope that you enjoyed that! I am enjoying the spring time
here in Rancagua. Every day it is probably 70 degrees but it gets cold at
night. We have electric blankets though so I don’t ever get cold. How strange
you are heading into winter! I am glad that Olivia and gpa went horse riding! Makes
me happy to know that she is developing her relationship with grandpa! =) and
send the Windmillers my love please! Wish them luck with their move and
everything. It sounds like everything at home has been good and nothing too out
of the ordinary! =)
1. Well I should really start
bringing my journal with me when I email cuz when I am on the spot I can’t
think of anything to great! This last week was difficult because it was hard to
have lessons with members and also we had a heck of a time getting into people’s
houses when we first met them... but we did however, teach this girl named Romina
and she has talked to the missionaries before and felt the spirit while reading
the B of M and praying but she has a hard time believing the first vision. We
talked to her about prophets and how the entire message of the restoration
depends on the B of M. When she knows it is true she can know that everything
else is true. She is very receptive and respectful and I also put a baptismal
date for her for the 26 of Oct if she comes to know that the B of M is true! We
pray for her! Also the family with Luis and Jasna and Francisca went to church
again and they are progressing nicely! I think that eventually Jasna will be
baptized and hopefully they will be sealed in the temple! =) and there is this
kid named Jose who was baptized about 4 years ago and is inactive. We went to
go visit him and his mom was there too. She isn’t a member but she has had a
lot of turmoil in her life but she finds happiness in the gospel... her name is
Lillian and I am almost positive she will be baptized in the near future! Also
this week I believe we will be having a baptism for a 9 year old girl named Pilar.
Her parents are recently reactivated in the church and we have been teaching
her. It is different shifting from teaching adults to a child. haha and
sometimes my Spanish feels so insufficient but Elder Arjona is a great help cuz
he speaks Spanish and when I don’t understand he helps out. The
companionship has been good. We have made a lot of progress this week. Earlier
on last week I just didn’t even want to look at him but now it is better. We
had a good comp inventory yesterday and also over the week we had like mini
inventories so we are doing better now and I actually enjoy being with him for
the most part. I am pretty sure that I will be switching comps next week cuz he
has four changes here in Baquedano which is 6 months so I will know on Saturday
and next Monday will be my last day with him if he is changed. We shall see.
2. We didn’t have fast and testimony
meeting this last Sunday. However I have fasted every Sunday I’ve been here
other than one. but my first Sunday here I got up and introduced myself and
also I bore a small testimony in not very good Spanish haha but the next Sunday
after conference should be fast and testimony meeting!
3. I think that we will be going to
the stake center to watch conference. I have heard it will be in English but I
am not sure what I will be able to do yet. I hope I can watch it in English
because I want to hear the actual voice of the prophets and apostles =) you
will know next week
4. I have been taking pics and
really we're only supposed to take pics on pday so I haven’t taken a ton but I
will get better! We are going to take some today and I think also we are going
to the supermarket called jumbo to get our food today and guess what they have?
mt dew!!!!!! =) I hope that I can buy some =) I haven’t had one for almost
three months! Can you believe it has been three months?? Fast, but slow, haha
but I think once Christmas time comes the next 19 months will fly by.
Well, that is it for the questions. I
love you guys and I pray for you every night. Thank you for your support and
everything you do for me =) thank you to everyone, family friends and everyone!
I love you all and hope that life is going well! There is one scripture that I
would like to share before I email others. It is in 3 Nephi chapter 21. It is
really good and Jesus talks a lot about missionary work and it is really cool
to think about and relate to the missionary work that is happening today! I
hope you all read it as a family and also that family prayer is happening cuz
our relationship with our HF is the most important we can have along with our
relationship with JC and the HG! I love you guys and I will talk to you all
next week =)
With all of my love,
Elder Tegan Hall

Elder Hall your son, bro, grandson
