First off I'm sharing the news about transfers! I'M STAYING AND TRAINING!!! :D I seriously am SO happy! I pretty much started crying tears of joy when President Wirthlin called me to stay. I had been praying and praying to stay, but of course I was trying to be submissive to God's will... but He answered my prayers and I get to be here hopefully till the end of my mission!!
It's a bummer to see Sister Brown leave, but she knows I get WAY more attacked to people than she does haha. She's excited to move to the next adventure that her mission has for her! I'm super excited to get another greenie (my 3rd child)! We'll see who she is in just a few days :) Transfers are this Wednesday! Just keep sending my mail to PO Box 149 in Whitesboro. That address never changes and will always get to me wherever I am in the mission, thanks!
This past week I went on exchanges with Sister Lloyd to Saratoga Springs. It was great! Saratoga is known for all the horse track races that go on there. It was a fun town and we were able to teach some lessons. A family named the Rugies were awesome :) This week we also picked up 3 new investigators! Their names are Dan, Eric, and Lucie! We're excited to be teaching some investigators even though our focus has been working with less-actives :)
We've also been on splits quite a few times. Some of the sisters have managed to find time to come out with us so we can visit multiple people at the same time. Every ward or branch that I've been in has always "talked" about making splits happen, but no one ever went with us. It's FINALLY working here and has been fun :)
We started giving service at a soup kitchen! We already serve at a thrift shop and now we're serving at a church soup kitchen. It's been a great way to get our tags out there and for people to see us serving the community! I love being able to talk with people and help :) Hopefully some teaching opportunities will arise in the near future!
I want to give a shout out to my twin sister since our birthday is this week :) Thanks for being my best friend Kal!!!!!! You're amazing and I'm so lucky to have you in my life! I'm grateful for the memories we have and the ones we WILL have :) The past 21 years have been a blast, thanks for everything... "You've got a friend in me" I love you Kal!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! The gospel is true and God is real, I know that for a fact. Keep doing your best, keep smiling, keep being like Christ, keep being yourself. The gospel is worth every sacrifice :)
Love, Sister Hansen <3
