The Leadership Broadcast really was amazing! It's awesome that the church is coming up with new ways to spread the gospel. We won't be able to access more internet cites until we have the permission to, so we'll be patiently waiting until it is our turn to start using other cites! I loved watching the videos and hearing the music on the broadcast. I cried multiple times haha! It's great to be here and to know that so many of my friends are also serving :)
President and Sister Wirthlin came to our branch this week to speak in sacrament! It was fun having them there :) President Wirthlin is having to regulate our miles because of all the new missionaries coming in... so we get cut 100 miles a month. Sister Stephens and I are on the lookout for some used bikes haha. It would be so nice to get bikes! We'll see if we can get a couple in the next few weeks.
The other day Sister Stephens and I were driving on a fast road, so we were going about 60 mph. All of a sudden a squirrel ran out RIGHT in front of us. We both started SCREAMING and freaking out! Luckily it ran away and we barely missed it haha. We just burst out laughing afterwards. We both said that our hearts were beating SO fast. We're such girls... it's hilarious! The bugs are starting to come out too, so we're having sooo much fun killing bugs in our apartment ;)
Our investigators are doing well! We had one investigator set for my birthday, but we had to postpone the date because she can't keep the Word of Wisdom completely. That's okay though! We just love helping her get closer to Christ :) Our other investigators (Chuck and Barbara) are doing SO well! We've taught them all the way up to the Law of Chastity, so they've decided to get married before they get baptized!!! The wedding is on July 7th, and the baptisms are on July 20th :) We're SUPER excited!! :) Some of my true self started coming out again because I LOVE weddings and cute couples haha. So I've been squealing and screaming a lot lately :) We only have a couple weeks to get the wedding together, so hopefully it'll work out! I'm grateful for them and the decisions they're making! It makes me so happy to see them willing to change for the Lord! Ahhhhh, I'm happy :D
This weekend is mine and Kallin's 20th birthday, so this is a bitter/sweet time for me. I've been thinking about her a lot lately, so it's been a little rough. I have to admit that being away from family hasn't been easy. I know it will be worth it, but it for sure hasn't been easy. I feel like I'm mostly myself out here, but I feel like there's something missing... then I realized that there IS something missing... and that's Kallin. I don't think I will FULLY be myself until I'm with Kallin :) She's my other half and best friend. I'm so lucky to be a twin and am happy for these amazing 20 years we've had together. I love you Kal, thanks for being my everything! Happy 20th Birthday you "filthy animal" :)
Anyway, I hope you are all doing great :) I love the Lord and I love the gospel. I thank Heavenly Father for every single day I'm out here! the gospel is true and never stop living it :)
Love you all!
Love, Sister Hansen :)
