Dear Familia y Amigos!
My heart is so full of joy for you all!! I love you all so
much!! I thought about you all many times through out the conference. The
powerful talks! The inspiring messages! The unity of our leaders in defending
the faith of God will never be forgotten. As the conference ended, President
Monson waved to us all. I could not help but feel the Savior’s arms around me,
or the angels that protect me…offering me a sense of belonging, a sense of
love. I had tear filled eyes as I watched as our beloved prophet when he left
the conference center. Conference had come and gone all too fast, yet thanks be
to the Lord God, the spirit still dwells here, it abides, I pray ever fervently
that it shall not leave.
The work of salvation is in every moment of this world. I
FEEL so honored to be apart of this work! It is in every thing. I agree with
the words of President Monson, it was one of the most uplifting and inspiring
conferences. The Heavens are open, our saints are ready, and our leaders are united
in the Lord. I know that they are inspired, righteous men and woman of God.
This is His work. Thank you for your prayers. I feel as though our Lord and God
prays for our success daily. Shall we not go on in so great a cause?
More than ever I know that I am a worthy Daughter of God. I
am a part of the work. I am already doing a part of my life mission! I am AM A
MISSIONARY! What prayers are offered. What strength we have…though agency plays
a role, who can deny the Holy Ghost? I know that the Holy Ghost will carry our
message into the hearts of those we teach and into the hearts of those who are
ready. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL! I love this feeling I have.
During the conference I could not help but think of you
guys. There were so many times when I felt your comments or felt your hugs.
LOL…or wished I could eat the crepe breakfast with you! :P Haha!
One of those times was during O´Divine Redeemer. Wow! I could almost see the tears through my own
mommy’s eyes! :). When President Monson
talked about a “Heart of Gold”…I thought of you Kaleb. When Hermana Carole M.
Stephenson talked about the priesthood and covenants…Daddy you were right
there. When I thought about the work of salvation…I also thought of you Karina
Darling girl! When Elder Dyches talked about The Hiding Place I remembered all those times, Mom, you would read
aloud to us great books and classics. :D I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!
Our investigadors (investigators) are PROGRESSING!! YES this
is a huge blessing of the Lord. I seriously felt like I could go no more. My
heart and faith said to hold on though after a very discouraging week. Then the
day dawn broke!! It was beautiful to see. As we were diligent, as we kept good
attitudes, and we pressed on the Lord gave us the opportunity to find nuevos,
place fechas, and change lives. We found a boy about 19 who had so many
questions. He declared, “How do we enter the presence of God?” We asked him how
he would do it. He said, “I need to repent. Yet I am not perfect.” Then he
thought, “How can I be clean? I want to be clean!” This was a beautiful moment
for my companion and I. It was wonderful to teach him that God has a plan for
him, and that he can be clean of his past, and that he can feel the Love of God
for him and enter into His presence after this life.
We had a milagro (miracle) this week, a powerful faith
building real milagro!! It was with an incredible woman who was vibrant and
full of love. About two weeks ago, we met with her. SHE set her Fecha (baptism
date)!! That was wonderful. She came to church and then…she was hit with an
illness. We had not seen her for two weeks, until Viernes en la noche. It
was 8:52pm. While heading back home we felt that we needed to stop and see
Shirly. She came stumbling out of the house. She was instantly scared when she
saw us. We cautiously and quietly said, “Shirly”?? Her health had deteriorated
her image a lot. She openly stated she doesn`t feel anything and desired to not
even live anymore. The beautiful light was gone from her eyes. She looked like
she was walking dead. It was awful. We took her hand and I began to pray out
loud. I began to pray that God would heal her. We don´t have the priesthood, yet
I know the Lord heard and answered our prayers. I know that God is the God of
the living. I know that God answered our prayers. She healed quickly after that
night. She is happy. We are going to meet with her today. The Lord God has
blessed us and her!
The Lord God is with us. We are His children. It says that
the truth angers those who are wicked. I know that the truth is at times hard
to listen to. Yet my soul illuminates with such love for God, for my faults and
weaknesses, yet I know he makes weak things become strong unto me.
Thanks for always being here for me family! I know I could
never do it without you! LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. Until next week. ¡¡¿VAMO
ARRIBA!!!
Hermana Hansen
