The last week of my
mission.
Going hard!
This past week was
good.
So yeah, we will all
fly together to Seattle, and then will go our separate ways. I guess I never told
you but Elder Paul from our group in the MTC went home for medical about a year
out, he got a way nasty eye infection and was going to need surgery and such. So
just 10 of us. Also a bunch of Sisters from another group, I know a couple of
them, I guess one of them is from the Spokane East Stake or something.
Eeeesh, hip
replacement just doesn’t sound fun. I hope my knees and back hold out.
General Conference
was good, there were several talks that stood out to me, I liked the Saturday
morning session. Also, those guys who stood up and were like "no".
Interesting idea.
Anyway, Mothi,
Cherilyn, Tan and Sally all came to conference.
Sally coming really
was miracle. When she came to District conference we actually had not had a
teaching appointment with her yet. So we had not taught her anything. Anyway
District conference turned out to be probably the worst church meeting I have
had on my mission, not exaggerating. I think when I emailed you guys about it
before I said it was good, that was a lie, I was trying to be positive. Anyway
after that we had no hope that we would ever meet her again much less get her
to church. So we just kept texting back and forth, we brought up conference.
Anyway, Saturday night she texted asking if she could come with us to church on
Sunday! She ended up staying for both Sunday
sessions! She liked the talks and was way intrigued by the ones about temples, so
in between sessions we talked about that with her. Way cool. First time on my
mission that I’ve had an investigator come to church twice without ever having
a real lesson with them. Cherilyn and Tan are doing good. They were both on
school trips this week but came to Sunday conference.
Mothi is doing good,
his younger brother was sick Monday night and asked us to give him a blessing
on Tuesday. On the way there he texted telling us his brother was feeling fine
now. All good.
I’ve been writing
letters to members in all of my past branches, it’s taking a LONG time. I don’t
understand how some Elders manage to write their girlfriends everyday... (I
actually only know one who did and he stopped after about 9 months). I’m going
to miss all of these people so much!!!! Really all of the fear/nervousness I
felt about going home and the future has been replaced with sadness, I’m going
to miss my mission terribly.
Also, just found
out, literally 30 seconds ago, that Celynne, Elder Wright and I's investigator
from Singapore, is getting baptized! Way dope!!!
Sincerely,
Elder Halpin
