good morning

hello family! this week was weird nothing really memorable happened, we had a baptisim saturday but it was for 3 little chicka in the ward who are 8 and no one would plan their baptisim so we did it. but it was cool, the families of all of these girls are partly inactive and all of there familys were at the baptisim and they all brought alot of food so it was a good time.

this week we had our zone confrence in oran, its 3 hours away so we got up at 3:30 to be there at 8 then left at 5:30 but didnt end up getting home till 9:20 so there went that day. haha but it was a good confrence, i really love them, its like a mini mtc revival from all the bad habits or downers in the mission, president whips us back into shape, i love it. he always talks about what i need to hear at that moment, or whats been on my mind. then this upcomming sunday we are having stake confrence and president will be here as well as Elder Diaz (?) an area 70. cool. im excited to hear them.

 Thursday we had divisions, there are 2 sets of missionarys in this town but they are 2 different branches so we just switched with the other sisters who we live with but it was fun to be in a different area for a day and see what its like to have a different comp. i was with hermana waters, she is from twin falls, her family owns the restaraunt "shake out" not sure but maybe grandma knows it :) she is cool, this is our third transfer living together so it was a change to be comp for a day.

It's getting super cold here, ok really its not that cold but its differernt when you have to be outside, I've been useing my huge down jacket and my comp calls it my sleeping bag cuz thats what it looks like, but its keeping me warm, but its funy cuz it just makes me stick out even more, now im just more thuggish :) they dont have jackets like that here.

all is well, we are finding and teaching tons of younger people, they are the ones who listen, but its cool cuz those are the ones i like to talk to.

ooo im reading jesus the christ, ya its kinda big. but its cool to learn things about the life of christ that i have never even thought about. its amazing the things that can be learned when one acutally studies! hahah. ok really it was a good week but i cant think of anything exciting to tell you. i cant believe we are already half way through may, you guys are all out of school and having summer fun. weird. thanks for the love, and im glad i could help out mom with her talks, you dont know the kind of pressure i have now with these emails, haha everyone keeps using my stuff for talks! its cool im honored, too bad i cant spell. love you all!

con amor. hermana hanson
