| Welcome to Central Daughter - The Best Area in the World! |
What's weird is that my daughter is older than me and we look nothing alike.
Nah Chiste...
But, my new companion is Hermana Juarez de Michoacan. She is
amazing!! She probably doesn't need any training, because she definitely
knows more gospel doctrine than me. But she is such a hard worker and I
just love her!
She's also really healthy....she only eats like 2
tortillas during comida (meals) and I average.... let's just say a lot. Which is
completely un-mexican of her if you ask me, but to each their own.
My Spanish
has improved so much just in this last week because I'm directing all the
lessons...and talking with all of our investigators and members
because Hermana Juarez doesn't know any of them.
But really training has
given me a lot of confidence in my Spanish. Four months ago, I literally
didn't know anything...and now I'm living in Mexico...training a Mexican....and somehow getting by. My Spanish is nowhere near perfect but I really
feel more confident now.
I have a feeling I'm gonna learn a lot from Hermana Juarez! She is so amazing. I'm so happy that she's my companion!
I
miss Hermana Martinez. But, I'm sure she's doing great things in Tapachula.
Hermana Martinez says goodbye to Mama C and G
So this week A. got baptized!! It was so amazing! His story is another miracle. Hermana Martinez and I found him through an inactive member....who we also found while contacting in la calle (the street).
We invited him to church... he came... and lo and behold he came A SECOND TIME without us even inviting him! We didn't invite him because he doesn't live in our area, and we were gonna pass the reference on to the missionaries in his area. But, he said he felt something at church, and he really wanted to change his life for the better....so he came back.

Final Meal with District Hermanas
We
got special permission from our zone leaders to teach him, and he didn't
miss a week of church. He lives about 45 minutes away. But, he comes to
church at 8 AM and comes to all of our activities... even cleaning
the church!
Seeing the light in eyes grow has been truly amazing. He
went from a lost 19 year old kid to an amazing representative of Christ
with such a strong testimony. He is so much happier now and his life has
been blessed so much because of the church. I'm so happy to be a part of
the start of his journey!
I
love you all and hope you continue to share the gift you have... the
gospel with everyone around you especially during this holiday season.
Cuídense mucho,
Hermana Hansen
