Elder Spencer Halls

Alright here's the run down This was another wonderful week!! We had so many great things happening in our area and zone! Including Zone Conference which I thought went very well!! The spirit really abounded as we all shared in our different thoughts and impressions in relation to the Mission Motto. I thought it was very uplifting and I learned so much from all that was shared as we were together. We continue to teach many wonderful brothers! Many of our first lessons have now turned into 2nd and 3rd lessons. I've been amazed to see the teaching pool grow. I think we must all stop and take a second to more deeply realize the significance of the work still moving forward in tremendous ways even at such a time as this! With people progressing towards baptism. Missionaries staying VERY busy with lessons with those we are teaching, members of the church including recent converts and returning members. It's truly a marvelous time.  We continue to work with many wonder...

This week was really great!! We saw countless miracles and many uplifting moments!! I'm continually amazed by the miraculous way in which this work continues to go forward! Напарник Elder Wilson and I get along really great which has been a good blessing! We've been able to get so much done together in these couple weeks!! We've also had some less exciting moments in the kitchen together including some burned brownies that we lost due to neglect and forgetfulness. And very gooey pasta due to similar reasons. However we can make a mean pizza so we're not totally helpless. Російська Мова So now that we don't just talk with people on the street all the time we get less opportunities to hear people speaking about just normal things. We of course have abnormal practice on the phone call base. But I wanted to share a couple things I heard in Russian that you may or may not be able to appreciate!!))

This has been such a great week!! Elder Wilson and I have really had a strong start! I think a big part of that came from good planning even as early as last weeks weekly planning. And setting goals to help Elder Wilson have the opportunity to meet with the leaders and many other members! As that was really a focus the plan and vision we had set in plan really motivated us to push past what we've done before and we really had one of our most successful weeks as apartment based missionaries and I definitely learned a lot!! Elder Wilson My new comp is from North Salt Lake he lives a little higher up on the mountain  from where the Halls live so his family knows them, which is cool!! He played golf really well back in school and he's still got it. If we get the chance maybe we'll go play at the course here in Kharkiv. He's cool and we get along really well and have worked hard!!  it's been amazing to me to see the Lords guidance and hand especially at this t...

Woah!! General Conference, that was soooooo good! I hope you all had the chance to watch it! I've still got one session to go but wow! So many good talks!!  And it came to pass in the ninth month of the reign of Elder Payne upon the land of Kharkiv the time did come for him to hand over the judgement seat to another. Elder Halls with the people were much saddened by the departure of their beloved leader in the work.  For behold, they did have many great works together in that land.  The time did come for another to reign in his stead, and it came to pass that Elder Wilson was called up from the Southern Lands to govern in the place of Elder Payne together with Elder Halls in the land of Kharkiv.  (В память: Ст. Расмусен)  Неделя This was a really productive week! We found that we were so busy with different things that it was a little bit of a challenge to find time to just be out on the streets to be getting our daily dose of fresh air. T...
