Funny Moments!

This weeks has been SO awesome! Sister Stephens and I are having a great time and love the work! The Lord is blessing us with new investigators, and we now have 3 investigators who have baptismal dates!! We're really excited for them, and we can't believe the progress they're making. The Lord has His hand in every aspect of our work, and I'm grateful. The baptismal dates are set for June 29th and July 13th. We're excited to help them along the path towards baptism :) We just hope we get to stay here for at least another transfer so we can see them get baptized!!! Pray for us to stay here ;) haha jk.

It was sad to hear about President Monson's wife dying, but at least we know where she is and that they will be able to see each other again :) I haven't heard details about it yet, but I would really like to. So if anyone can let me know then that'd be awesome! I love our prophet and love being able to testify of him each day :)

Lately Sister Stephens and I have had the most funny/random moments and we laugh our heads off. The other day we were just walking down the street in a trailer park, and some dogs started coming up to us. All of a sudden this guy comes running after them and calling their names, and he was wearing these TINY short shorts that had Spongebob on them hahaha. A lot of men in this town wear REALLY short shorts... and I guess to them it's normal. We just laugh all the time!

At our apartment we keep finding these gross bugs! I think they're called House Centipedes. They have these LONG legs and are HUGE. Definitely way worse than spiders. Luckily they're dead when we find them... I think Heavenly Father is blessing us because He knows if we found on of them alive, I think we'd die haha! We hear sirens constantly every single day. I think there's ALWAYS someone being arrested, a fire at a house, a car accident, etc. Hearing sirens constantly has become normal to me now. We just start laughing whenever we hear them!

Sister Stephens has been adjusting well, and I'm grateful to be her trainer. Lately when people have been asking us questions, she has been trying to answer them... and sometimes her answers are hilarious! She gets the names of the streets wrong, and it's so funny! She called Houghton Lane, Horton Lane... and she called Safford Street, Savage Street. Also, the other day we introduced ourselves to a random citizen and she said, "Hi I'm Sister Hansen... no wait... no I'm not! I'm Sister Stephens!" We burst out laughing! I know exactly how she felt because SO many times I got scared whenever we talked to people, and I almost said my name was Sister Blackburn haha (by the way, I love and miss you Sister Blackburn!).

Anyway, missionary life is great and I'm happy to be here :) The challenges we face are always worth it, and I'm so happy for the people who are preparing for baptism. Thanks for all of your support!


Love, Sister Hansen
