What's up, how are you all doing? Hopefully just swimmingly, I love you all. Sounds like this week was...eventful. I'm going to NEED some more information from my family when I call them. Holy cow, my interest is PEAKED. It's like they gave me just enough bait to be dying to ask them haha. Well sounds like Brik is killing it in Arizona and that Ben had an interesting birthday. Crazy to hear my cousin Sav got married. I met the guy she married once, and I can say, from meeting him one time, I totally approve. Seemed worthy of her awesomeness, Savanah Longson.
Well, that's another week in the book folks. I'll be completely honest, this week has been quite the week. I loved Zone Conference. I also love getting to see some of my friends from other areas. I can feel the goodness in the room. We had the chance to do a service project with the English sisters. It was fun and we planted a TON of trees!
Miracles for this week, I don't know if I could put my finger on one extremely prominent life changing moment where I totally had my mind blown by Lord coming in with his hand and just fixing something, or saving us from a situation, or anything along those lines. However, I do feel like it was made up of a bunch little tiny miracles daily. I mean, that's what this mission is, right? Changing daily to transform you into a stronger disciple of Christ, with a testimony that stands strong, built upon the rock, and is still growing. By that saying, discipleship never ends. I live by that 1% motto. That is something I'm going to work on, seeing the miracles, and recognizing the little ones.
The basic highlights for the week. Well, Elder Christopherson and I have been praying in every prayer for a referral of someone who is prepared for the gospel. We have been blessed to have been teaching a lot. Daily miracles. If you have righteous desires and intentions, the Lord will bless you IN HIS TIME. Sometimes we mix up his time for our time and that's where we go wrong.
We have been trying to come up with creative ways to use Facebook and Messenger. Its a tool that we have been blessed with to forward the work here and even try to help out a little back home. Honestly if anyone has any ideas, questions, or anything, shoot me an email and I'd be pumped to get back to you on Pday.
Also, we had BERNIES BURGER BUS. A place has been under construction forever and finally opened up. Holy cow, turned out to be like a 10 dollar burger, so a little more expensive but wow... Worth every penny. Best milkshake I have ever had. If there's one near you, you are blessed. Cookie Butter milkshake will change your life.
Well I hope y'all know I love ya! The Church is true and the Book is blue. I love reading the Book of Mormon. I never feel more love than I do when reading it. I KNOW it is the word of God. It's undeniable. If you read the entire Book of Mormon. You will know, and discover so many truths. I hope we can all be converted unto the Lord.
Omni 1:26
26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.
Keep on holding tight to the rod. It's tough sometimes, I know, but hey, it's OK!!! The prize at the end is worth more than anything we may have here on earth. Exaltation isn't cheap. This life is called a test, and sometimes, some questions are tough. But if we keep holding to the rod, we will be supported. I can promise that because I've seen and felt it.
Love y'all!
Elder Hansen
