Friends, do not worry if i have not written you
back, i have not forgotten about you. I treasure your letters. I just
battle with time. It is my greatest enemy. I want to go to the Celestial
Kingdom in part just because there the time wont be measured (Alma
40:8). But just know that i do read your emails, and i love them. I will
write back when i can.
So last week i went to Centro de Chihuahua, and we
saw some museums and we went to this market where they sell so much
Chihuahueno stuff. I bought some souvenirs, now i just need to find out
the next time someone in the ward is going to Utah.
So we had the coolest thing happen this week.
Something that renewed my excitement. So we have been visiting this less
active member named Alma for the last month or so. And we have been
teaching her the lessons, and she has been coming to church! Well on Wednesday,
we were not even close to her house, not even near the colony where she
lives, but she pulled up next to us in her car, told us that she had
been looking for us, because she has someone who wants to be baptized.
that is a "YESSSSSSSS" moment for a missionary. I threw my two fists up
the air. So we went Friday in the night, at 8, to her house (it is a big house), and he didn't show up until 8:45.
So we got to know him for 10 minutes, talked a little bit about what we
do, his name is Raymundo, invited him to church, and ran out of there.
And then he came to church yesterday, and after church, we went and
taught lesson one, and he loved it. He has a baptismal date to be baptized on the 14th of September.
Pray for him. It will be really good for Alma as well, that we are
teaching these things, because she thought that Joseph Smith wrote the
book of Mormon... ehhh. That was awkward.
We also put another baptismal date on Saturday
with Daniela, and 18 year old who want to be baptized more than
anything, but has a huge fear of her family, because they don't support
her much, but they are really just indifferent. So pray for her too.
We had more visits this last week then we have had in any other week for like the last 2 months. Lovin it.
Oh
yea, and the BIGGEST NEWS of the day is.... I will be in the united
states today. I leave in a couple of hours to the bus station with Elder
Randall from my generation, who has been working here with me since Thursday,
and we will go to El Paso Texas tonight, where we will spend the night,
do some work on our visas, and then we will return to Chihuahua
tomorrow. It will be nice to be on American soil for a few hours...even
though I hear El Paso is just like Juarez, but a little cleaner. I wish i
would have time to send you a package from there, but alas, it shall
not be. But think of me tonight, and i will be much more closer to you.
Within The Limits of our Pais. I might fill a little jar of liberty
soil. Who knows. I will take pictures.
I love you all so much. You are all in my prayers,
and my thoughts. Thank you so much for the ejemplos you have always
given me. Miss you all. And i still can't believe that i will be seeing
you all so soon. The mission is so short. I am giving my all to make the
best of the months i have left. I hope you all baptize someone as well.
Be the person that pulls up in the car next to the missionaries to tell
them that you have someone who want to be baptized. Cause that actually
happens. It is the Work of Salvation.
Welp, see ya later.
Love,
Elder Romney Hansen
