Things out here have been pretty good the work is going steady and the sun is getting hotter and hotter every day. I finally learned my lesson of not wearing sunscreen because after 3 hours of walking last Saturday, I got a wicked good sunburn! My Farmers Tan is officially here! A cool story came from it tho! While we were out walking it got hot and we were thirsty. We'd already been outside for 2 hours and started realizing that we needed water, I was silently praying that we would run into someone who could give us water lol. The thought came to visit Melinda, an awesome lady who loves having the missionaries come by. She always gives us water and has a big heart! Well we walk there and her car wasn't in the driveway...sad face! Instead of knocking we kept going, but not 4 steps away from her yard, she suddenly opens her door and calls us over! What a blessing! Apparently her Boyfriend drove her Car that day! She let us in, gave us water and homemade tortillas, which were awesome! Just goes to show God is always watching out for us. She sent us on our way with our tortilla's and water, and we were super happy! We compared it to Moses and the Children of Israel getting 'Manna from Heaven,' and 'water from a stone'! lol it was a cool experience. Because of all the heat though we've also had a couple storms come through. Luckily Clovis is kind of the outskirts of EVERYTHING. We get a lot of wind, but only a tiny bit of rain and bad storms. We were under a tornado watch one of the days which was cool, but nothing ended up happening. They coolest things we see are huge dust devils, they go about 40 ft in the air and swirl just like a tornado, I took an awesome video the other day so hopefully one day I'll get to share it!

The members here are taking great care of us still, plenty of meals, and so many willing to work with us on missionary work. A new family to Clovis has only been here 8 weeks and already have someone they want to give a Book of Mormon too, and to have at there house for a discussion soon. Its incredibly humbling to work with great people who love the gospel and are not afraid to share it with those around them. Being a follower of Christ I think it is so important to look for ways to uplift people around us. Its something I want to be better at, looking for ways to serve others and show them I love them.

Mission life is hard, hardest thing I've ever done, and at times I miss home and everyone there more than I thought possible. But I've also never done anything more worth it in my life. Being able to see the Light of Christ shine in someone's eyes who never knew the gospel, or even knew how believing in Jesus Christ could bring so much hope and peace into their lives is what makes it all worth it.

Its a lot of work, but we have a lot of fun too! Thinking of everyone back home...Especially the Hall family. My heart breaks after hearing Uncle Leland passed away, I wish I could be there with everyone. Give Grandma Hall a Big hug for me, tell her I love her. Family is so precious, its one of the greatest blessings God has given us, I'm thankful for mine every day. I better close. Hope everyone has a great week!

Love
Sister Hall.
