Hola Familia,
I'm alive! Clarksville has been treating me well. It has been a hard adjustment. New city, people, and companion. It's a lot to adapt to. It was especially hard to step forward when I had one foot back in Tullahoma. An incredible woman got baptized 2 weeks ago that I had taught and served a lot and gotten really close to. She asked me to perform the baptism, but I was unable to make it down to the baptism due to time to drive and mission rules. It was still an incredible day for her and I'm so happy to have played my small role. Here in Clarksville, we see other missionaries practically every day which is quite different from the secluded Tullahoma. Being so close to Fort Campbell, we get a lot of military families in the wards and city here. Most are moving around a lot, so we always have new people to talk to.
As for more Elder Hamblin things, I've really enjoyed setting personal goals recently. I remember dad always trying to get me to set goals and make plans and I thought it was lame. I thought it was extra thought and work when I could just do my thing. But I have loved reviewing my progress and setting goals for the vision I have for my life. Greatly suggested.
I'm grateful to be in the service of God. I'm grateful to be in the service of others.
Love,
Elder Hamblin
