Have fun with the spelling :)
well hello there my wonderful family how are you guys doing on this monday? well things here are going well lets just say wasnt the best week for us nor our zone. We startd out the week very well teaching and what not, and then what do you know the end wasnt the bet however, things for this week are already looking good, already got a phonecall this morning with a referance for us =). and like as everyone says when we have a bad week its cause heavnly father is preparing for a very good week...so who knows right.
So, it just so happens that our investegators just want to play games and not want to do anything with the gospel. =/ which blows this week will be the start over week again unfortunatly and it is the last week of transfers, thats right next tuesday is transfers, so if i stay or go who knows. we shall wait and see next week on the e-mail of elder hemphill hahah...(sorry when is i started that sentance i thought of those tv reality shows so i had to finish the sentance like that haha) anyways it was one of those weeks where you have tons of apointments and then when you get there they are inside but turn of the tv week. you know like we really saw the work of satan this week that is for sure. oh not to mention wherever we were the jehovahs witness was right behind us haha, really thought not lying. if one church knows how to do missionary work besides ours its them. everyday they are outside knockin doors and what not its horrable. lol.
Well things with the comp are going great, we get along so well and work way good together i think these last 2 transfers i´ve taught better than ever, he really is a good guy and forsure will be a great leder on the mission one day. as for confrence it was anpther great one it seems to get better and better every 6 months. it kinda sucked because this time i had to watch it in portuguese which wasnt to fun howver it was still way good. i mean yes i understood it of course it is just so diffrent i mean it just isnt the same, seeing elder holland talk haha. its wierd not to hear the vocies of the prophets its other people. however elder scott speaks potuguese and he translated his talk befor hand so that was pretty cool. we were lucky and we had confrence at our church here so we didnt have to travel to far. haha. well i better get going i attached some pics i hope you guys like them, me and my comp, one me and my jersys that i have and us ata members house waiting for lunch =)
i love you all and miss ou tons,
love elder hemphill
LETTER TO MOM:
hey mom how you doin today? so i sent 2 more pics, one of me and my comp and the other is of a street in our area just to show you guys a little what houses are made of here. so these week well honestly was a little rough however, it happens on the mission right? we arent to sad because we know this week will be a better week =) and well to be honest you just cant get sad about this cause that is only what the enemy wants huh? so we are still happy and forsure will have a great week ahead of us. maybe thats why people dont want to talk to us i forgot to brsh my teeth this week and shower the water is cold so its been 2 weeks sens i´ve takin a shower its not to bad though its cold so i dont stink hahh jk jk jk om ont worry im brushng and showing. lol
*HOW DID YOU GET TO WATCH CONFERENCE? WHERE DID YOU GO? DID YOU GET TO SEE ALL OF IT? WHAT TIME DID YOU SEE IT AT?
wewatched confrence at the church i had to watch it in portugues why? cause one they didnt put it in englich and 2 im the only american and i had to stay with my comp=/. the sessions start at 1-3 and 5-7 here and i only missed the preisthood session =/ the best one huh.
we headed ovr to the stake center and played soccer a lot and after words we cooked some spegetti really fast. it was a lot of fun actually. we stayed the night over there cause we had district meeting in the morning so it would have been pointless to come home and go back the enst day. so we had a family night with members there which was really good.
yes i did i sent that one as well cause i know you would ask for it hahah so there it is me pedro paulo which is the black one, renato and my comp. renato was also baptized that day he was a refrerance from a member who is way cool, had a lot of difficulties in his life, but thank goodness things are going great with him. he came yesterday to confrence which was way good.
*SO HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE YOUR TALK LAST WEEK?
i dont know if they did or not, i know some liked it but for sure i know some didnt i think it was just more of the guilty thing but oh well, it needed to be said.
yes and know i mean we try to. normally what we do is when we find inactive families we send the ward missionaries over there and we still visit them about once a week.
ANY PACKAGE NEWS YET?
no however we get mail this week so we will see
WHEN ARE TRANSFERS AGAIN?
transfers are next tuesday
*SO ELDER CHRISTOPHERSON IS COMING TO YOUR MISSION? THAT IS COOL....WHEN?
well i dont know if he will talk to the missionaries or what but he is doing a family night with members in a stake here. so im hoping he will have a day with us for a confrence. he will be here the day after easter i think.
well the mission is awesome i love everymin of it, it really is hard to tell you what i have learned the most on the mission beacause i have leared so much until now and will continue to learn. everyone tells me that i have tons of patience so idk if i havd that before or not hahah, and well idk its hard to tell there is so many stuff, im just so grateful for the mission and everything i have learned everyday i thank heavenly fther for the gospel in my life because this is the only happeniss that we have and of course families.
i love you mom and miss you tons have a great week.
love elder hemphill
when sam comes home give him a great big hug for me k!
