Muy muy buenas tardes!! I hope everything is all super awesome!! I have loved getting all of your emails!! Mom that was so awesome that you got to see Elder Gong!! Crazy that we got to see Elder Holland, and you got to see Elder Gong. The apostles are everywhere and we are so blessed to have these special witnesses of Jesus Christ. It is amazing!! We are so blessed to be a part of this amazing work in trying to grow God's kingdom here on earth. Also. . . . THE DODGERS ARE IN THE WORLD SERIES AGAIN?!?!?!?! Ok, that is awesome. Houston was so sad for like 3 days when the Astros lost to Boston. The Mission Nurse updated me. She texted me when the Dodger’s won haha, Sister Anderson is the BEST! Dad, thank you for sending me what happened. I knew Puig would come in clutch at one point.
I know how to cross the border now! Plenty of people have told me how it works. It is apparently super expensive. Like ridiculously expensive. They have to hire a "coyote" to take them across. Coyotes are pros that help. It reminds me of the Underground Railroad. I can't imagine it.
We had a miracle happen on Saturday. Edith got baptized!! It was amazing, it felt like everything was working against us to keep her from being baptized. It all started with Elder Johnson taking a spill and having to get an X-Ray on his hand in the morning. Turns out he has a fracture, and got transferred out because today was the last day of the transfer. He is still in the same ward, but different area, with a car. Anyways, we then went to the church to go fill the font, got locked out, while it was filling. Then we had a talk cancel last minute and had to find a backup, and then finally the doors to the font wouldn't open. Soooo, it was like obstacle after obstacle. But, she was baptized eventually. She has so much faith, and I LOVE this family and their love of the gospel. Super amazing single mom of 5, and I had the blessing of baptizing Edith.
This past week has been pretty hectic to say the least!! To start off, one of our top investigators, his name was Lorenzo, was progressing like crazy. We visited him not too long ago, a week after we gave him a Book of Mormon, and asked him how much he had read, he said that he was more than half way through. Like WHAT!! He had a baptismal date, but a few days ago, we found out he was moving to Florida to work for a few months. . . so now he has moved. So sad. Here’s a pic of him!
Now I have a new companion, the one, the only, the Elder HANDYYYYY!! We were planning this from the first day we came out, and never thought it would happen. BUT IT HAPPENED!! So we are about to just go all out! He is living in Utah, but his parents are from El Salvador so he's fluent. I am so pumped! His mom never let him eat sugar cereal so he’s going bonkers with it out here. Hilarious!!
Did anyone read Fred and Ted books when they were little? We loved them. We took this picture in honor of Fred and Ted. This picture is for Mom!
Temple trip.
Elder Ledezma trained me and I trained Elder Johnson. Great guys.
I love you all so much!! I hope you all are doing well! The gospel is so simple, do what you are supposed to do, and look outward. Act as Christ would! Christ's gospel will never change, but it will change you!!
Hope you all have an amazing week!! Go Dodgers!!
Brett / Elder Hansen
