This week has been full of funny/neat moments! Actually, what week ISN'T full of funny or neat moments?! Anyway, here are some of the things that happened!
Sister Stephens is the one that sees/finds bugs, and I'm always the one that ends up having to kill them. So she found this HUGE spider. I stepped on it with my shoe and I thought I killed it, but all of a sudden a dozen or more TINY baby spiders started running in every direction from off of the mom's back!!!! We both started SCREAMING and I eventually killed all of them, but I was terrified for a few hours and constantly felt like bugs were everywhere haha. It was a funny, but heart wrenching experience! There are just so many bugs here because of all the trees haha.
Also, Chuck received the priesthood on Sunday, and Barbara received a calling! When President Murphy called their names to stand Chuck stood up fast, turned around and just started WAVING to everyone. It was great haha :) Barbara's new calling is that she is in charge of the calendar where everyone signs up to feed us (the missionaries). She makes sure that we're fed during the week. Perfect calling for her!
Having Chuck receive the priesthood was a great experience! I felt so happy for him and he looked so proud and happy after :) They're doing great and still loving the gospel! It's amazing to see how far they've come!! Oh, and it's the cutest thing because Chuck calls Heavenly Father, "Lovely Father." Haha how awesome is that?! :)
Then I heard this joke that was pretty funny. It says, "When I say a dirty word like exercise, I wash my mouth out with chocolate!" Hahahaha. I just think that is HILARIOUS! Maybe that's just because I'm a missionary and small things seem hilarious, but yeah... we had a good laugh after hearing that one!
The other day we got done with a lesson and were a little down because our investigator isn't progressing very well. I felt down because I started taking it out on myself and feeling like I wasn't being a good missionary, but then when we came home for lunch, I had 4 letters in the mail for me, including a package! They were from Kallin, Trace/Michelle, Elder Geddes, and Sister LeBaron! I felt so happy and I was rejuvenated again! I was reminded that this is the Lord's work, and I'm out here doing good things. I love how Heavenly Father just sends tender mercies exactly when we need them :)
I love this gospel and know it's true with ALL my heart :) I love being able to study and learn new things each day from the scriptures. Hope everyone is doing well and that you're enjoying the gift of the gospel :)
Love, Sister Hansen <3
