This week was a great one!! We were able to see the Lord blessing us and it was something we wont forget.
I
talked a little to President Andrezzo in my weekly letter about how
special last monday was for our family. He wrote a very nice response to
me. Included in his response he added the scripture: And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4
I am really grateful for him and for the help that
he brings to each of us missionaries. The missionaries in the mission
are extremely blessed to have him as our leader. He is truly inspired by
God.
So this week was a good one. We worked really really
really hard and it was really really really hot. haha. My poor comp was
dying. His feet are all messed up but he kept going on and never wanted
to stop. Maybe its because he knew that I wouldnt let him. haha. We
were able to teach over 70 lessons this week and help lots of
individuals come to know about the Gospel. For my comps second week on
the field, he worked really hard to help us achieve our goal. We took a
great family to church and they loved it. The mom and her 5 kids. Pray
for them. They need it. We are preparing a group of teenage boys for
baptism and things are looking excellent. I cant even explain to you all
how much the Lord has been blessing us. If we work our hardest and work
our smartest, the Lord will help us with this work.
I am weighing about 183 pounds. I think the stress
and walking really fast in the heat is getting to me. haha. But thats
okay. I am not too worried about it. I know that I will be able to get
it all back after the mission....at least I am hoping so..... haha.
So this Sunday
we found out something a little shaky about one of our investigators.
We are unsure what we will do but we are confident that everything will
work out the way it should. The Lord will watch over us and them.
I did a split with the Zone Leaders for two days.
That was a lot of fun. One of them is a good friend of mine and it was
him that stayed with me in our area. We got a ton done and worked really
hard. Its so easy to work when you have someone who is your friend. I
am grateful that I have been blessed with good companions who love to
work hard and are good kids.
I have watched the videos that Amanda sent me of
Spener at pro day like 5 million times. haha. Its so cool to see. I told
everybody here on the mission that my bro will play in the NFL. Now my
friends on the mission want to know Spencer Hadley and want nothing to
do with Elder Hadley. haha. I guess I brought that one upon myself.
I interviewed two older ladies that the sisters are
teaching to be baptized and they kept on asking if they could touch my
hair and my arms because they both think I look like Joseph Smith and
they love Joseph Smith. And I mean LOVE Joseph. I think I said NO about
500 times that night. haha. The sisters told them jokingly that I was a a
grandson of the Prophet. haha. They didnt pick up the joke and took it
seriously. I had to set that one straight real quick or the interview
would have been impossible to have. haha. Once I set it straight they
paid close attention and stopped asking to touch my hair. haha. They
love the gospel and will be baptized this saturday.
This was a great week and I am happy for the success
our District has been having and is continuing to have. Its a blessing
to be a part of.
I love you all and hope you all are well. Continue to do what you know you need to do and the Lord will bless you for it.
Love you,
Elder Hadley
