Summer Begins

I forgot to mention that last week we went to the Stake Picnic! All of the missionaries in our stake were also there and we had a great time! We played baseball... and when I say "we" that also includes ME. Crazy... I know! ;) When I got up to bat it took me probably 5 tries before I actually hit the ball. It was pretty embarrassing... but oh well. At least I gave everyone a good laugh, right??

The work has been good. Our investigators are doing well, but we can see that Satan is really trying to get in the way now... So hopefully we can help them get through the struggles they're going through. Everyone out here says the work "wicked." I think it's hilarious. They'll say things like, "That's wicked awesome!" So if I ever start saying wicked, then you'll know why ;)

Well, the weather has been pretty crazy lately. About once a week we have flash flood or tornado warnings haha. At first Sister Stephens and I started FREAKING out, but then realized that the warnings weren't AS bad as we thought they were going to be. We had one really bad storm though. We were driving in it for about 5-10 minutes. We were driving through about half a foot of water! Luckily Heavenly Father kept us safe and we made it home.

A small tornado actually touched down only a little ways from our house... crazy! While the storm was raging we were looking out the window and I jokingly said, "IT'S THE SECOND COMING!" We both laughed and were happy that we could stay lighthearted, even though the storm was a little scary.

A lot of the members started calling us to make sure we were okay, including Brother Grover, Brother Behunin, Sister Campell-Copp, and Sister Kimball. We were so grateful for their support and for showing they'd be there if something really did happen! The storm eventually passed and the next day it looked like nothing had even happened. It was an adventure! Now the weather has been really hot. The humidity is pretty hard to get used to, but I know that I'll slowly adjust!

Transfers are coming up! Sister Stephens and I are pretty scared haha. We're loving being together and loving being in Bennington. We're hoping SO bad that we both get to stay here... I guess we'll see! :/ Transfer calls are this Saturday... so on Monday I'll let everyone know what's going on! I hope to stay here, but if the Lord needs me somewhere else then I'll be willing to go! "Ill go where you want me to go dear Lord..." :)

Well, I better wrap things up. Hopefully I'll have more time next week to write all of you back!
Love you!!!


Love, Sister Hansen
