| Happy 20th Birthday, Hayley!! |
BUENAS DÍAS
20
years on earth today, CRAZY!! But Heavenly Father gave me the gift of
an amazing week, so I am way happy!!! And a gorgeous day! After it
rained and there was an earthquake for the last couple days, it is
GORGEOUS and sunny today!! YAY CHILE.
But the real miracles happened this
weekend. First of all, we were in our apartment building waiting for
someone to pick us up to take us to stake conference in Valpo when the
earthquake hit, which was still just a tremble for here in Chile hahaha
but it was a 6.6!! We started out just chill and continuing our stuff
but then it got louder and we just stared at each other until it stopped! But nothing even fell and obviously we're alive so we're good.
Stake
conference that night was AMAZING!! I felt the spirit so strong and
everyone was crying. The stake president is amazing, and even better
he's in my ward! They are WAY mission work focused in this stake - it's so
awesome. But there was a video that i just loved (see below). It was an answer to
prayers and the way I feel like I got my first testimony. SO GOOD.
Then
on Sunday we had stake conference but the general session, and PRESIDENT
KAHNLEIN and his wife came!! We had our investigator, C, there, who
is the husband of a less active member that's been listening to the
missionaries for 4 years. He is so awesome and we were already planning
on setting a baptismal date with him last night after the conference
and everything! But president asked us if we had anyone there and asked
to meet C and invited him to be baptized!!! It was so crazy. Then
the conference was just spectacular, so I was way happy. OH also last Tuesday we set a baptismal date with V, one of our
investigators!! (she is the daughter of a less active.) She reads the Book of Mormon to her
little sister every night and prays all the time and gets all teared up
when she talks about how much she wants to be baptized! The problem is
that her dad isn't a member and he wont let her... we find out today if
she can really get baptized next Sunday!! Pray for her!!
Okay then after
church our appointments fell through and we were bummed, but felt
really impressed to talk to this guy in a huge trench coat. It made us
scared at first but we both felt to contact him! So we did, and it turns
out he was wearing that because he has a lot of health problems. We
went to his house and met his daughter and taught him and he accepted
everything and a baptismal date in 3 weeks!! AHHH. Seriously a miracle. His name is J and he is so awesome. We go back on Wednesday to help
him with housework, because he gets tired really easily. Pray for us and
him that he can make it in three weeks!! Then that night we saw C
and PUT A BAPTISMAL DATE WITH HIM!!! AHHHHH!!! :) We've worked with him
all of my time here, so that was amazing. And president called us this
morning to ask us how it went because he knew we had the appointment
with him. He's so great. But oh my goshhh seriously big miracle! Pray A
LOT for him, because he's still a little unsure, he needs lots of
support!!
BUT YES WEEK OF MIRACLES = HAPPY HNA HANSEN. So my heavenly
father gave me the best birthday present. Also I'm about to turn 7 months
in the mission, CRAZY. But yeah that's the week!!
Thank you so much for
the birthday wishes, I love you ALLL.
hermana hansenThis is the video that the stake president showed. Literally changed my life. i love it SO much. my favorite quote is: "spiritual light rarely comes to those who sit in the darkness waiting for someone to turn on the light." http://www.mormonchannel.org/video/mormon-messages?v=3701964025001
