March 24, 2015 - It Will All Work Out

What's up fam! It's been great to hear from all of you!

Congrats to Aubs and Brian on the Engagement! Can't wait to see my cardboard cutout in the wedding! 

Some highlights from my week!

Last Wednesday we got to go down to the Mormon Battalion with Ramon, Anabel and Pamela. They have been down there tons of times. They take missionaries a lot! They love that place.  It's pretty cool so I don't blame them! This time we went to watch Meet the Mormons (Conozca a los Mormones) with them. It's still good even the second time and in Spanish. Plus I found out that Glorious by David Archuleta comes in Spanish...blew my mind! Your homework for all of you is to find it, download it and send it to Elder Hansen ASAP! First one to send me both English and Spanish get's a special prize!!! It was sweet and we also talked about being a good example and sharing what we believe with others!

Thursday was super busy. We had weekly planning and then went out and I swear we were riding our bikes faster than the cars, and we knocked on like a million doors, I was pooped that night!

Friday we had District meeting. It's just Elder Quiñonez, Elder Brandner, Elder Blackley and I now. (I really miss Elder Takke). But that was super good! Then we went to Golden Spoon, which is a frozen yogurt place that hooks up missionaries for free once a week. I think It's owned by members. So that was fun. We went with Elder Takke and Cloes, who are two of the coolest Elders in the mission :) This afternoon we also taught a sick Lesson to Jesus Olaiz, and he said he would get baptized May 2 if he get's an answer that the church is true (which he will). We were stoked! 

Saturday was just a normal day, we went and tried to see a ton of people. Unfortunately a lot of people are busy on Saturdays. But we worked super hard and taught a few good lessons, especially to some less active members, which was really good! 

Sundays are the best. Church was great! We had 6 investigators there! Unfortunately Jesus didn't come through, but he will next week! 

Yesterday we had Interviews with President Schmitt! They went well. After that we went and taught Larry and Rosio. We have still been working really closely with them. I love that family! They are still awesome and we love them! Then  we taught this new kid Albert and he's so chill! He's like 29 and pretty interested and he took us to Jamba and we just chilled there for a while and talked about the Restoration. It was super laid back but still really powerful. That was awesome!

That's basically my week! Love you all! :) Hope you have a great week!

I meant to include this in the last email:

This was from President Hinckley and was included on the funeral program for his wife. 

It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is.

It all works out. Don’t worry.

I say that to myself every morning.

It will all work out.

Put your trust in God,

and move forward with faith

and confidence in the future.

The Lord will not forsake us.

He will not forsake us.

If we will put our trust in Him,

if we will pray to Him,

if we will live worthy of His blessings,

He will hear our prayers.
