Sister Lyndsie Hall: Letter #19

Sent: Mon 7/01/13 11:58 AM

Hi mom! How are you doing? This week has been so incredible! We got 3 referrals last week from ward members and they are all families so we will start teaching them this week!! I am SOOO excited! We met all 3 families and they are just amazing and pretty solid!! I swear they're already LDS! We also found a man named Jim. We talked to him for quite awhile on his doorstep and he's pretty great too! He has a TON of questions and is kind of a skeptic.. Actually he's a really big skeptic but we will be meeting with him tomorrow and taking our WML along with us. Also when we were tracting the other day, we found 4 people who have never heard of the Book of Mormon. It made me so sad that they hadn't even heard about it but we were able to give each of them a copy and they all said they would read from it! So... you said that it's been pretty hot back home, well it is hotter than Hades here!! It's so humid and I always feel so sticky! I felt like I was about to throw up yesterday just cause it was so hot out! If you could send me some mesh garments or some kind that you think would be cooler, that would be very much appreciated. Oh! So.. Tuesday one of the members of the bishopric called and asked Sister Marble and I to talk in Sacrament this Sunday about missionary work. The WML and a recent convert also spoke. The whole day at church was all about missionary work and we really hope that the ward will catch the vision and help us to find new people to teach. This Friday we will be going over to Monte and Marlow's home for dinner and to teach them Lesson 2 (the plan of salvation)!!! We can't wait! They are so prepared and I just love them so much! We also went up to a Less Active members home this past week and helped them weed their garden! We got to wear pants! It was awesome!! But at the same time it was just weird! Haha! I kinda forgot that I had 2 legs...They also have the cutest dog EVER! It's a boxer and he is so cuddly and playful! How is Petey? I got your letter in the mail! Thanks so much for all of the updates on everyone! Tell Kurt and Sheila that they are in my prayers. And I'm sorry to hear about your knee, that's not good :( I hope everything is okay... I haven't heard from Janiece in a while but i'm sure she's busy with work and everything. I get an e-mail from Trevors grandparents almost every week telling me what's been going on in their family. I'm not sure where Trevor is serving right now. Last I heard was that he's a District Leader in Cottage Grove. One of the sisters that was in his district is now in my district and she told me that he said to say hi to me. It made me smile :) Anyways, I hope that you are all doing well and you know how much I love and appreciate all that you do for me. I am so grateful to be apart of this wonderful gospel and for the opportunity i've been given to serve a mission. Especially here in the OEM!!! AKA The Best Mission In The World!!! I love you so much! Have a wonderful week!!

Love,

Sister Hall
