this week was exciting, ok i was going to send you my flight plans on this but i just realised it would be way easier to just write them out, so thats what im doing :) but we leave SLC monday morning and get to Buenas Aires tuesday night and we aernt sure how were getting to salta, but wev'e been told that gets taken care on when we get there.
i have my companions back! :) all is well, it was weird to go back to haveing 2 companions again after being alone, it was a chance to rememebr who i am, not in a bad way now im thinking about my self and what i need kinda way, but just a little self discovery when not always having to think about 2 other people, it was nice and deffinetly good for me.
not sure if you knew but iv been singing in the chior for devotionals, its way fun and really cool to be apart of what brings the spirit in the meeting. sunday was crazy. it was probably one of the most spiritaul happy days here, this week so far has been that way every day. i think its because i have a date of when i will be there and talking to people.
sorry my thougts are jumbled. ok.
this week we were scared because they stil hadent told anyone anything about our visas, so last night another elder going to argentina the same time as us told us that they are temporarly asigning poeple to new missions because they cant get their visas. so i for sure thought that was me, and i was a little upset. its ok because i knew the lord would put me where he needed me and maybe there was someone somewhere else that needs me. so even though i wasnt thrilled about it i got my head around the idea and was ready for that answer.
today when we when to the travel office they looked up my name and said i am leaving on time to argentia! it was like getting my mission call all over again, i got all excited and pumped to go. then later i realised that tuesday i get to hug people again! and that thought made my day even better! not hugging poeple for me is like trying to hold back a yawn, its almost physically painfull. so i am excited to start teaching and spreading the truth. i dont know of any amazingly great experiences but these last 3 days have just been awesome, i am happy and excited, it snowed today and soon i will be in the sun!
the last couple of weeks i was bumbed becasue our district wasnt as unified as we could be, so we ( me and my comps and our district leader) have been trying to do more things togeather and strengthen us as a district, sunday was cool. my companionship taught our little class devolional about the nature of God, but we pushed back the desks and tried to make it more of a personal experience/ testimony sharing thing. it was great. it was fun to talk about and teach, for me the times i feel colsest to God is when i compare him to my parents and my father, because thats what he is, he is my father, i love being about to see traits in my father that God has as well, or maybe its the other way around :) but right now the thing i have learnd most is that God knows what i can and cant handle in this life and he wont give me anything that is to much for me. i know this life is hard but i can do it, and God will always be standing beside me. he knows when i need to figure it out on my own , i might not like it but i need to do as much as i can and take that first step, then when i can do no more he will help me along. My dad has taught me this aswell, i think thats why its so easy for me to recognise and trust that God will be there for me, my dad has always been there for me and known when i could do it on my own. thanks.
i have seen this so much already, and its only been 8 weeks! i love my family so much! i love hearing about the kids, not so much about the bad but it will be better, i know you will get through it, my family will be taken care of, i have felt it and i know it to be true.
i am so excited to serve my Father in Heaven! i think this week its all clicking,
i love you all!!
hermana hanson!
