How is everyone back at home?! I haven't heard much from people lately!!!
This week was interviews with President Marler and Hemana Marler. They are amazing. The challenge this time was: They gave us a Book of mormon in our native language, and told us to read it. But the only thing that we are highlighting is the words; Dios, Lord, Jesus Christ, I, ect. By doing this I will gain a testimony that the Book of Mormon talks and testifies of Christ, and Heavenly Father. I learned that truly our main purpose is to testify and talk of Christ, our Savior. To help these people understand the importance of Him, and how his example and life was(and is) for us! We are hear for a reason. We have this life to grow and follow the commandments of God. :)
I am doing good. I'm completely healthy, and the weather is the same, but we have a nice cool breeze. I am really starting to LOVE this people and this area.... Transfers are in two weeks... And have the feeling that I will be leaving. I don't want to leave.... :( This is the down side to missionary life, we have amazing friendships and we meet all these people, and then we have to leave... because your time is up in that area, and you are needed somewhere else...
Room update: I still don't have a bathroom door, and we killed all the bugs. We are still living with spiders, because they are everywhere.... but they don't really do anything so usually Peruvians just leave them be...
TODAY: The reason that I am writing earlier this week is because we have a special activity today. Because we are helping with the Open House of the Peru Trujillo Temple, we have to dress very professional.... SO today all of the Hermana's in Chimbote(my City that I am in) are going shopping. Mainly because a lot of us don't have nice clothes, and only a few nice clothes. So we get to go shopping and find clothes to wear that are nice and professional. It should be fun! We don't know how many days of the month we will be able to help in the open house, but we were guaranteed 3 days. But most likely we will help for more. I am so excited!!! I cant wait. We get to be the tour guides and help in the beginning tent part. It is going to be amazing!!!
This week I had my first ALMA RISCATADA( saved soul)... But this is a person that was inactive, and we taught them all the lessons and they came back to church. They have the same requirements as a investigator, but they are members already, so we just save their soul.... But It was my first, and im really proud. This women is so strong in the church now, and LOVES TO SERVE!!!! She reminds me a lot of my mother. So of course I love spending time in her house with her family.
This week a lot happened, but I can't put it all into words in a email. I will just have to wait and tell you when I get home.
Life is amazing, and I am doings all right. Im growing and learning A LOT!!! :)
Love you all, and I hope life is treating you well! :)Miss you like crazy!
Love,
Hermana Hansen
