Dear Family,
How are you this week?! I am glad to
hear from you. Ha-ha I swear I always say this but the week just flew by.... it
is scary how time is flying. Sounds like you guys had a good week with lots of
fun. Man, I want to see Meet the Mormons really bad!! It looks like a really
good one. I am excited to see it when I get home...there are a lot of movies
that I will want to see!
Q&A
1. So on Monday we had to make a
trip up to Santiago with 5 sisters and the secretaries to help the sisters get
their visas ready to go home on Tuesday. It was a crazy day. We had gone to bed
at 2 the previous day and woken up at 5. It was a long day but we got all of
their legal documents done. Then that night we went to bed at around 12 and had
to wake up at 3 to take missionaries to the airport and then go to the MTC. I
was able to drive president’s car. It was fun and a lot of work. I got 6 hours
of sleep in a 48 hour period... super tired. And I was only able to get a
couple naps in the car but now I am recovered. =) It was fun to meet all of the
new missionaries and see their excitement for the mission work. On Wednesday we
went to the other end of the mission to take proselyting materials to them. It
was also a long day and right when we got home a missionary called us telling
us he left the keys inside his house and they couldn’t get in any other way....
so we had to make about an hour drive to open their house. Ha-ha Elder T
wasn’t too happy. On Thursday and Friday we just helped fix things in the
mission and it was a good time and a little more relaxed than the first three
days of this week. Ha-ha it was a crazy week and a lot of work. It is also
getting hot at 
2. No our investigators didn’t come
to church and we weren’t able to visit them either... they had asked us to take
them food the next time we went. They
are poor people and really we shouldn’t give them food and help them out in
material terms but I still wanted to go and invite them to church... but it’s
ok. We will get there soon. Today we have stake conference and we will be
singing in the choir. It will be fun !=)
3. All the housemates are good! Really
happy people and we are having a good time in the house. Elder A is really
enjoyable now. We also have two other elders living with us temporarily because
the owner of their house sold it and we couldn’t find a house for them on time.
Thankfully they live close to us. All is well =)
4. Well I don’t know why I think
Elder T is a better commissary than me... just because when I was with Elder
O I never took as much initiative to organize as Elder T did. I also
have to remember that Elder T is on his home field (he is from Chile)
and I am sure he has an advantage there. He is just a solid guy and I am thankful
that he knows how to do a lot of stuff. He is an electrical engineer so he
knows how to work with electricity quite well. I have learned a lot with him =)
and we are just being more organized and prepared to fix things on the spot! That
is the biggest change I think which is awesome.
5. I am not sure why President Warne
chose me to be a commissary. I have wanted to ask him the same thing. Maybe he
saw in my missionary application that I moved pipe and saw I was a hard
worker... well I like to think that I am. I cannot tell you exactly why... but I
know that he is a very inspired man and that he receives very personal revelation
concerning the missionaries and I don’t doubt that the decision was for a
reason. I think it has been a personal growing experience more than anything
for me. I have learned so much patience.
I liked Jorg Klebingat’s conference
talk as well. His talk was straight forward and good. I am glad that you are
reading all of the talks. They were so good and just like you said can help us
in so many facets of our lives in different ways according to our needs! I love
you guys so much and am glad to hear that you are doing well. I hope that you
all have a great week this week and that you enjoy Halloween. I miss you a ton
but I know that the Lord answers my prayers and watches over you every day. I
will talk to you next week and until then have a great week and be safe. I love
you =)
Love,
Elder Tegan Hall
