Busy Week

We've had a pretty busy week. Sister Stephens had a doctor's appointment, we had exchanges with the Saratoga sisters, and we had an All Sister's Conference in Utica. Those were all great experiences! The Sister's Conference really helped rejuvenate me and helped me see the great missionaries we have in our mission. There's such a strength that comes from being with all sisters :) We had one of those testimony meetings where you choose a hymn/bear your testimony and then we all sing it. It was really spiritual and I couldn't even sing because the Spirit was so strong! We sang, "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go," and it really touched my heart.

About a week before I moved to college I remember singing that song in Sacrament Meeting. For a number of reasons I was nervous about going to college and I didn't know what was ahead of me. A couple years later I look back and I LOVED my time at college. I wonder why I was ever scared. Well now we sang that song at the conference and it made me think that yes, missions aren't easy and I've been a little scared at times, but I know one day I'm going to look back and be so happy that I served the Lord. I already have great memories and I'm excited for the memories that I'll make and the lessons I'll learn. Singing that song just brought back a lot of memories, and I'll forever love that song!

September is going to be a big month. We might start using ipads, Facebook, and now we can only have side bags (no backpacks). So we'll see what miracles September brings :) We're excited! I love doing this work. I feel like I'm a therapist/counselor for God haha. It's draining at times, but it's great. I love knowing that this will help me be a better mother and wife one day. I can feel your prayers and I'm thankful for your support! Love you all!!!!!!!


Love, Sister Hansen
