Elder Greenhalgh Has Transferred To Kalispell, MT

We received a short email from Elder Greenhalgh Wednesday afternoon (19MAR08) he said he was in his new apartment and would be ready to go work on Thursday! He was impressed with the new scenery and will evidently be serving the Kalispell 2nd and 3rd Wards. He also said he was going to miss Cody and all the great people there. Will post news as we get it

Hi Everyone,
The mission is going well... We had a remakable experience this week. We found a young woman to teach, and she had us over yesterday. She is of another faith and not really active. We talked with her about eternal families(she has a 2 year old daughter that she absolutely loves!) and she is about to get married... so! needless to say, she LOVED THE IDEA OF FOREVER!(she said that she couldn't stop thinking about it after we left the first time, (door approach)

So we had a first lesson with her, one of the first things she said was " I think all the churches have a little truth in them, but, I don't know which one has all the truth." needless to say, Elder Gurr and I were so impressed! Then we talked about Prophets, and the dispensations made so much sense to her and she said stuff like "This all seems familiar" and so we helped her understand that it was the Holy Ghost... ok then the best part, we talked about the first vision and right after Elder Gurr quoted Joseph Smith's account, she said "That was God and Jesus" and we said "What do you think they said?" and her response surprised us again She said, " Well they were calling him to be a prophet, God and Christ just don't appear like that without something important to do." and then my favorite line "I feel all hot and warm inside and all over!"

That was just one of the greatest lessons I've had. So we'll see her again on Friday and she hopefully has read, she said "I'm a reader, I could have this whole Book of Mormon read by Friday, and I'll pray, because God can give me the answer, and its important if this is true."

We are still walking on air about that lesson...

I hope that this account gives you each the inspiration to look inwardly and realize what wonderful testimonies you have too. Please share them, there are very special people out there waiting to hear and looking for answers.

I Love You All,
Elder Greenhalgh

Hi Everybody! 5MAR08

I went to the temple today! It was great, I love it!
The work is going good. It is progressing slowly but surely everday, as do I progress slowly but surely everday. I have developed some patience with myself, and it works well... the Savior helps me a lot... but I can't help but think(especially as I sat within the walls of His house today) that I need to focus more on Him... I need to pour out my soul at night, everynight, because I see that as I try to find a closer relationship with Him, and take those steps to be more obedient and rely on Him, I see the work move wonderfully. I try harder all the time:)

I love you all...
Elder Greenhalgh
