A Texas Luau

Last Sunday, after Collin spoke in church, my parents had close friends and family come over to the house, for a Texas Luau. My grandparents from Arizona even made a surprise trip to send Collin off. Collin had requested brisket to be served and my mom delegated it out from there! It was a beautiful day, he had a great turn out for church and for the luau! Because I wasn't there I will let the photo's tell the story.

Collin's Final Message!

Most of you have seen this on Collin's facebook but I just wanted to add it to his blog also. I have a couple blogs in the works of the days leading up to Collin leaving but I'm waiting on pictures. SO here is his final message to everyone..


Well guys, the time has come. I'm off to serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I couldn't be more exicted but also nervous. Here's my address for the next 3 weeks and my address will be updated on here every time it changes. Thanks to everyone for the support.

Elder Collin William Hall

Packages and letters will be much appreciated!
Until we meet again...roll tide!

Called to Serve

This is the start of Elder Collin Hall's mission blog. I (Ashley, his sister) have been asked by Collin to keep a blog for him. I will be updating it as frequently as I get news and will be sharing stories and photo's from his daily life. I guess I should tell you where he is serving though before I get to far ahead of myself.

Collin has been called to serve in Honolulu, Hawaii!

My grandfather served the in the SAME mission 1955-1957.. So crazy!

The Mission covers ALL the Islands...

Collin reports to the MTC, in Provo, Utah, October 12th!
