This week has been amazing! Seriously, Heavenly Father is pouring out blessings. We picked up 3 new investigators who are hungry for the gospel. We're LOVING being able to teach them, because their desires to learn are so strong! Their names are Pat, Barbara, and Chuck! We found all of them through member referrals. Member referrals help sooo much!
For a while Sister Blackburn and I felt like we were doing SO much work and not very much was coming from it... but we're now finally seeing the fruits of our labors, and I'm really excited ?) I'm starting to gain an even stronger testimony about being obedient and doing what's right even if not much is coming from it. Eventually Heavenly Father will help you and you WILL get blessings. Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer :)
Being a trainer was a little stressful for the first couple days, but I'm adjusting pretty well! Sister Stephens is from Washington, and she's great! She's willing to work hard and is a great sister to be around. We get along well and I'm glad to be with her!
The weather is beginning to warm up, and we're happy about that :) More people are outside, and it's so fun to walk everywhere! The trees are starting to bloom and it's really pretty! I love it here and when I think about leaving Bennington my heart sinks a little bit. I hope I stay here for a couple more transfers. I love the branch members, and I'm grateful for other people I have met.
The other day we met an old Korean lady named Kim, who was working in her yard. We were talking to her for a while, and she was HILARIOUS! People with loud cars/motorcycles would drive by and she'd start cussing them out SO bad. We couldn't help but laugh! I don't think I've ever heard someone cuss so many times in one sentence hahaha. We're going back to visit her sometime this week! People here are unique, but awesome :)
I love the work and time is going by a TINY bit faster, but not completely. I have days that are hard, but once something great happens then those hard days are all worth it :) I don't have time to write much more, so I better wrap things up. Thanks for your prayers, letters, and e-mails. I love you all and the gospel is truer than true :)
Love, Sister Hansen
