It has been both an amazing and trying week! I don't have a lot of detail to share, because we have been so busy and I don't remember most of what happened.
I love being here so much, because I see my testimony in the gospel developing in ways I never thought were possible! I learn a lot. We learn about how to become effective teachers, which is hard because I am not the best teacher of anything, but I am doing my very best!
The most important thing that I have learned this week is that we as humans are not capable of understanding the amount of love our Heavenly Father has for us! We know that He is there and loves us.. but he loves is so much that when we follow Him faithfully and diligently we are blessed individually in marvelous ways that we cannot even comprehend. Also, I have learned the importance and power that comes from complete obedience. As missionaries we often say, "Exact obedience brings miricles" and I have come to know that this is so TRUE! We have a lot of rules to live by and I am a stickler to all of them!! I still like to have fun, but I have seen how being obedient has brought blessings into my life that I would not have otherwise!
I have a lot of friends here, but within the last few days my relationship with them have grown stronger and more exciting! We do stupid little things to entertain ourselves because we have lost the distraction of social media, friends and family, and the hardest part for me...Netflix! We have such a good time together!
Yesterday we got to give tours of the MTC to new missionaries and it was so fun! It was hard to watch families say goodbye, and I realized that even though I do not have the best relationship with my family I do love them and I am grateful for everything that they do for me!
This morning we got to go to the Provo Temple as they finish some remodeling. we laid new carpet down and it reminded me of the pioneers. As early saints faithfully gave up their time and money to the building of temples it was so cool to be a part of the same thing!
I know this is where I need to be in my life, even though at least once a day I tell myself I should just go home, go back to my awesome job, my friends, and my fish Benson. But I do know that this is the best way to grow and learn! I am so excited for what is to come next...VEGAS BABY!!
We will be taking a bus to Vegas next Wednesday and we are so pumped!
I love you all and hope to hear from you!
Love, Elder Hall
