hey!

So this week was pretty cool. I told you last week, but wednesday was transfers and my new comp is Elder Hanson with a sOn. Apparently its the "right" way to spell it? He's really good at teaching and so I'm hopfully going to be way better by the end of this transfer. We're gonna be committing everyone for baptism! It's gonna be sweet!

Speaking of which, Callie is getting baptized this Sat and she's so excited!! She loves scripture reading and finishes an assignment the night we give it to her! She's a good example to me of how much more dillegent and excited I need to be.

So last Sunday was the Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication. It was really weird because they cancelled church in the whole state of UT for it and held one at 9.00am and 3.00pm. We went to both of them =). It was so cool! It was kindof refreshing and a nice change to going to four sacrament meetings.

As far as teaching, things have been a bit slow and crazy because school just started and USU just started so everybody is still getting adjusted to everything. But it also opens up opportunities for kids to invite their friends that they haven't seen all summer and for people to stop going camping! So I'm sure things will pick up around here =)

One sad thing, we haven't seen or been able to get in touch with Carla for over a week now so hopefully she's still doing ok. Please continue to pray for her and for her mother's heart to be softened. I know that with prayers of faith and her willingness to learn and gain a testimony she will get baptized and enter that gate to eternal life.

love you all!
Elder Hale
