Week 17: Missions are Amazing, Best Lunch, Animal Crackers

Hi Family & Friends, how is life? I was so happy to hear about Jett!!!  I am AN AUNT AGAIN!!!  I’m so happy that he came into the world happily and smoothly also.

I was also happy to hear that Sis. Carpenter read my letter in YWs. I honestly don’t remember what I wrote... but I’m glad that they liked it. Truly a mission is amazing. And it’s not just amazing because of baptisms and helping people change their lives, but because every moment of every day, I can relate something that is happening to me, to the love and life of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. When people shut the doors, I feel like Mary and Joseph not being accepted in an inn, or Jesus being rejected. I can know and feel how Jesus feels when people stop listening to Him. Literally every moment, I can look back and feel these things. During the moment, I’m frustrated, and want to make these people eat the word of God as fast as possible and change their hearts. Gladly, I can’t do that. Life would be too easy if I could. Thank goodness for agency. It truly is a blessing and a curse at the same time....

Today I am going to a less active member’s house, and learning how to make one of the best lunch plates here! I’m so excited! Also, one of the Hermana’s that ended her mission today gave me a cookie mix. So we are going to making those today as well! YUMM!!!

They have Animal Crackers here!!! I eat them with my peanut butter. It’s a really good snack! :)
Sadly nothing really amazing happened this week in my area. I’m staying here in Chimbote for one more transfer. In my whole zone only one person changed, but that’s because the Sister ended her mission... :) haha. It was really funny last night when we got the call. We had made a list of guesses of who was going and staying. We were completely wrong!

It’s REALLY hot now. I sweat all day long, and my companion always asks, "Why are you so hot and sweaty?" It’s because it’s hot outside, and I’m a natural furnace. The good thing about it being hot is that it will be even worse in March... so that’s something to look forward too... RIGHT? It’s terrible!
I don’t have any more to say for this week. Love you all. The church is true, and I am very blessed to be a missionary right now in PERU!!!

Oh and I finished the book of Alma in the BofM!! I’m very happy!
Love you all. I pray for you daily!

Con Amor,

Hermana Hansen
