Ello poppet,
Pirates of the Caribbean quote for the win.
This week i heard an efy song called Glorious by
Russ Dixon...and i fell in love. I have asked a member of the church
here to put it on my USB. Stoked.
Our mission
leader returned to the city this week, and we had our coordination
meeting with him and assigned members to be friends with investigators
and less actives (yes, you can assign friends), and then what do you
know, our mission leader got released yesterday, and will now be a
seminary teacher. Ahora, Doctor Cervantes will be our mission leader. He
is so great. He was actually in Utah for the last couple of weeks, and
he speaks english, and is really excited for the missionary work. Will
be official this next sunday.
And well, you already know that be have been
battling for the last few weeks trying to find investigators and to help
people go to church, and i must say, that we changed some things this
week. And we had the miracle of having 4 investigators in church, after a
month of zeros. Good things are happening.
Ah, and Saturday
was SO COOL!! We had the stake primary activity. It has been in
preparation for a while now. So all of the kids in the stake had
interviews with their bishops, and then the next week they received
large white envelopes with their mission call in it, and a plane ticket,
and they were to report to the MTC (stake center) this last saturday.
We as missionaries, were like the MTC instructors. The kids all came in
their missionary clothes and had their missionary tags, and scriptures,
and backpacks, etc. And they were assigned a mission. I had a group of
about 8 kids, in the mission Idaho. I showed them all of the pictures of
idaho i had. Talked to them about the food, about the weather, about al
that jazz. And then took them through a day in the mission. Made them
do exercise. We studied the scriptures. Made Plans. And afterwards, I
sent them off to the airport (in the cultural hall, they made an
airplane, that looked like an actual inside of an airplane, and even had
air hosteses which gave drinks and snacks to the kids) and when they
arrived at the airport, they left with a missionary, and a priesthood
holder, to go visit all of the less active kids in the stake. So cool.
And they all were so excited.
The mission really is exciting. I love it. I have a
very firm testimony that Our Father knows each and every one of us
personally. I am here in Chihuahua not just to help other people, but
because the Lord knew that i need to be here, for my own conversion as
well. I have grown so much, in just one year. And i still have another
one. I am so excited for all that is to come.
Keep it real. I love you all so much. Thank you all
for the wonderful letters. I love them. Dont feel bad if i dont respond
in a faster time frame. i am trying.
Welp, see ya later.
Love,
Elder Hansen
