This week has been rough. Tuesday I was really sick. I ate something bad the day before and couldn't keep anything down. I thought it was the stomach flu going around here, but luckily it was just a one day thing. This week was the last week of our transfer and I had the feeling that Elder Eldredge was going to leave me and I would stay, but not the case. Elder Eldredge got called to be the new district leader! Which is sweet because now I get to answer the phone and say, "Hello, This is Elder Hale, assistant to District Leader Eldredge.."
Which means I do nothing, I just like to say that.
Yesterday we had our first investigators come to church. It was our first investigators and their first time coming to church. It was so cool, Donald and Laisha both came. It was a really good fast and testimony meeting and then when it ended, Donald got up and turned to us and said, "I don't know what it was, a muscle twitch or something, but I felt something during that" It was so great to be able to tell him what that was and what the spirit was telling him. He's real excited to be baptized and we are on track for March 27th with him. Laisha had her one and a half year old with her and could not even concentrate during the whole thing cuz he was just out of control, but luckily I had this little action figure (I named him Ted) in my pocket that I found the week before doing service and had kept him in my suit pocket. I gave it to him and it calmed him down quite a bit. This town has exploded and we are so busy we can barely make time for all of our investigators.
Oh we also found out last night that we will be receiving a car! We are going to get it this Friday and it will definitely help the work progress, I can't wait. I LOVE YOU ALL and love hearing you in your letters. Mom on the tape I'm making, I will answer all of your questions you had and my new song I have produced. -Elder Hale
