Tullahomies Update

September 4, 2017: 

Familia,

I have been blessed with a fourth transfer in Tullahoma and a second with Elder Isaak to finish his training. Big things are happening here in Tullahoma with two baptisms scheduled for this Saturday. The first is Chris Gann. Chris was the first door Elder Isaak and I knocked on together. We taught him all the lessons in about a week and he is so excited to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church. The second is Savannah Owens. She is a young woman whose grandmother recently was baptized. She has been very hesitant and standoffish but we set a hesitant/hard baptismal date. She didn't really take it seriously until we kept reminding her and started planning her baptism. That's when she actually prayed asking whether she should or not and her answer was butterflies in her stomach and excitement she hadn't had before. It's going to be a busy week for us.

Elder Isaak is a combination of Fajo and Mason. He is sarcastic and doesn't express emotion but is absolutely hilarious and can Jimmy Rig practically anything. He keeps things light and fun and surprises me often with his random bits of knowledge. Elder Isaak is just the companion I needed. He is a hard worker and very easy to get along with.

I'm blessed with every increasing gospel knowledge but I am nowhere near that of Joanies Choanies. I've been blessed as I've strived to live the Word of Wisdom with more energy and better functioning physical abilities. Still haven't learned how to talk about my feelings. All the progress Julie made with me has gone out the window haha. Went fishing this morning with no success. I've been working harder at fishing men than being a fisherman.

Sure do love y'all!

Elder Hamblin
