Week 26 - Hello Family!

I hope all the mothers all had the greatest mother's day ever! It was a great thing being able to talk to  my mom and dad! Definitely recharges the battery a bit and helps you work harder and harder! I love it though! I wish I had more to report this week on the work, but I will see what I can do! It was definitely hard missin my sister's wedding this week. It is just one of those things you wish you could be around for. But I know this is where I am supposed to be. I am doing the right thing. It did comfort me to hear that it went well and now that they are happily honeymooning off in Ireland!

We had 4 of our investigators at church this week, which was really good news! The Lunger family was able to make it, which is good since it has really been a while. We have been talking to them every time we are in Westlock, and I really do think it helps. Showing them you care about them no matter what they may be doing. Showing them that you really do love them and want the best for them. Definitely something that I have come to know recently. I have a strong testimony of always being there for people regardless of what they are doing. Continue to stand strong and show your testimony through your example, and it will affect people's lives. 

We got in touch with almost all of our investigators again this week, but a lot of cancellations. It really is the most frustrating thing. When someone tells you one thing, does the other. We stay persistent though! You can't take anything personally. Just keep trying to help them. It takes a lot of patience with some people, we definitely think about just giving up on them, but can't be doing that!

We once again offered a bunch of service this last week! Last Monday we poured the frost walls for the Huff's. It was a ton of hard work!! I loved it though! For some reason I am really loving the service we have been able to do! I have learned how to do many things since I have been up here. And then this last Saturday we were up the the Swan's helping them finish their cabin and get everything worked out so they could do his bear guiding next week that he guides and outfits out. It was a lot of fun! I loved being out in the bush again. I love it! Service is definitely the key to members. Plus it gives you the opportunity to really build solid friendships with them. 

This week should hold many more adventures! I will let you all know how it goes! Sorry for the short email! I love you all! 

Love, Elder McFall

p.s. I will be doing emails next Tuesday due to Victoria Day, whatever that is, next Monday. Just thought I would give you a heads up!
