I always remember that in these times that money is scarce. We must be wise in our spending but never forget our sacred obligation with the Lord to give our tithing and fast offering.
He talked about how he wanted to buy his wife a new dress but she reminded him that they couldn't afford it. We loved him dearly. His testimony helped me gain my own because I was still very young and new to the church. He is my favorite apostle and always will be. I will love and miss him. Although many of us arrived super early, the lights went off before the apostles entered the building. After nearly an hour and much praying, when the meeting was to be canceled, the lights came back on and the apostles arrived.
The meeting was shortened, but I recall Elder Hales, who had recently undergone surgery, was sitting on the stand in what appeared to me obvious pain. Yet, he was there accompanying the prophet. I'll never forget that message of commitment he demonstrated to serve the Lord, even at personal sacrifice so far from home. Elder Hales came on board as the Area Seventy in July He came to Munich often, for whatever reason. Every message he presented was a favorite of mine. The Saturday night session was very personal as he walked the congregation.
You could feel of his spirit and I had the witness come to me that he is one of God's apostles. When he extended the call, we were moving into a new home outside of our stake. He was so concerned with my feelings that we would have a nine-year wait to move in our dream home.
I sat across the table from an apostle of the Lord, asking me if I would support my husband and do what the Lord was asking him to do. I saw the love and concern in his eyes and so needed the counsel he gave me. I have a deep appreciation and love for him, and how he changed our lives for the good.
I have opted that line many times trying to politely explain why I can't go to certain movies. He will be greatly missed. Whenever he started speaking, I knew exactly who it was and could picture his sweet face. Such a soothing and calm voice. He taught me to be happy while in mortality and the same time to be practical and balance this with spiritual aspects. I used to look at him with much respect and reverence. He truly has done his call as a teacher, leader and special witness of Christ.
A great friend and a faithful servant of the Lord and he always remembered all of us, and taught us how to emulate the Savior.
I wanted badly to serve and felt that my stuttering prevented me from serving the Lord effectively. The mission president, Douglas Bischoff, gave me the option to transfer to an English-speaking mission. I refused, telling him that I received a divine witness when my call came that Switzerland was my appointed field of labor. Shortly thereafter, Elder Hales came to our mission. By Eric Grossarth.
