April 2, 2012 - Week 5
Just a note from Elder Halls mom: The conference Elder Halls is mentioning can be linked to by going to http://www.lds.org/?lang=eng The talk Tanner shared with him, was the story of the parent's in Haiti who had prayed to find just one surviving child amid their destroyed apartment following a natural disaster. I'm not sure what speaker that was.
Family and friends!!! I loved the email! i am so glad that we bought a new car!!! So about the packages, maybe try to figure out if it is something that i could buy here first, because someone got a package sent to him and they charged him 95 reais just to pick it up. but just let me know. did everyone love conference!!?? i think my favorite talk has to be either Jefferey R. Hollands first talk, or the one Tanner talked about. i dont have my notes with me, but i loved how Elder Holland ended. "dont delay, its getting late" i loved that talk. I know that it doesnt matter when you return to the Lord as long as there is still time, the ultimate reward will still be the same. however, we must know that we will be held accountable for those we didnt effect or neglected when we could have had an impact.today is my last pday in the ctm, and i am actually really glad to get out of here!!! haha, i will miss the other elders here, but i cannot wait to be in the mission field. i was able to leave the ctm last week to get my glasses fixed after a volleyball accident, and it was just elder bangerter and i walking around the streets. it felt so awesome! and i felt like i just wanted to talk to everyone i saw, and i did!!! haha, i would usually only get as far as boa tarde! tudo bom? haha.i hope everyone loved conference!!! i missed going to priesthood session with dad and ammon. we watched priesthood sunday morning because of the 3 hour delay. haha, thats a funny story about emily watching david archuleta. i was watching it, and my companion elder bangerter wispered, thats david archuleta. haha, and a couple of guys who just came from the provo mtc said they talked to him after he reported, elder archuleta is going somewhere in northern chile. haha, he is such a great example to the world.so tonight i am singing the song, This is The Christ in front of the whole CTM for the devotional! so pray for me! i actually asked to sing it, because i love this song so much. time to go!out of time, love you guys!!! you~re in my prayers!!!!-elder Hawwls
