Staying in Albuny!

So we got transfer calls and we're staying!!! :D I'm sooooo happy! Sister Brown and I also have been called to be Sister Training Leaders over 3 sister companionships. MLC (Mission Leadership Council) is this week and we're excited :)

The women's broadcast was really powerful and uplifting!! I loved how the theme was to remember who we are and what we stand for :) It was such a fun night being with sisters in the ward, having dinner, and feeling the Spirit. I'm so excited for GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!! This week is just gonna be filled with awesome experiences!! I hope you all have been able to think of questions to ponder and study! ;)

We also had exchanges last week with the Glenville sisters. I stayed in Watervliet with Sister Johnson. It went well! We were tracting and a black lady let us in. She said she had cancer and wanted us to pray with her. So we all held hands in a circle and took turns praying haha. After a little while she couldn't breathe very well and wanted us to take her to the hospital. Her husband was going to be home in like 10 minutes, so we just helped calm her down by singing hymns :) He then took her to the hospital. We hope she's okay and we'll go back soon. Hopefully we can start teaching her or help her!

Oh yeah! The other day we were OYMing (open your mouth) people and talking about the gospel on the streets. We saw this guy who was walking fast from his apartment to his car. We wanted to get his attention before he went inside, so I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind haha. I was like, "I LIKE YOUR MUSTACHE!" Hahahaha. He then stopped and talked to us for a while, he had a pretty sweet mustache! So now we have that as an inside joke. Every person that we see on the street we mentally say, "I like your mustache!"

Today for fun we're going to the HUGE Wal-mart in Albuny. It's 2 stories high and everyone says it's awesome. It should be an adventure :) The weeks have been flying by. Each time it's Monday again I'm like WHAT?! In the moment it's slow, but at the end of the week it feels like it's only been 2 days! I LOVE the members here and LOVE spending time with them :) I love young families. Our investigators are slowly progressing and we're still trying to find more. You know... the usual... It's like doing missionary work or something ;)

Here are some quotes!

"Everyone learn to budget your money. If you eat at a restaurant, get the stuff on the dollar menu, not any of the Super Sized Super Dippedy Dopper Doof stuff!" -President Wirhlin

*at church* "Ugh... I don't feel like being social." -Elder Geminert

"Don't worry, I kept my cool.... even in a van." -Sister Hansen

Hope ya'll have a great week ;) The sun is actually SHINING here.... it's a miracle! Hopefully spring will come soon haha. The gospel is true, everyone keep being amazing! :) Love you!!!!!

Love, Sister Hansen <3
