This week I got my first package
from my family and it was so wonderful! I also recieved a bunch of letters full
of kind, encouraging words so thank you too all!! :) This week one of our
investigators had a bunch of baby chicks finally hatch and she was so excited.
When we got there she showed us this very first and then had us spit on two of
our fingers and pet the top of its head.... apparently this is a 'good luck'
thing that they do here. It was kind funny. Also, some more exciting news is
that we get to go to the temple in Tegucigalpa on the 29th this week. I'm so
excited, but it will definitely be a little different seeing that the session
is going to be completely in Spanish!
Last week at a reunion we had one of
our elders spoke a little bit about being humble. He said that one day he was
talking to his brother and told him that a Narcissist (or however you spell
that) only thinks of himself and a person with low self-esteem doesn't think of
himself enough, but that a humble person has the perfect balance between them
both. His brother looked at him and said no, A person that is truly humble
doesn't think of himself at all and is always looking out for other people and
for the will of God. I really liked this a lot, because it is super direct and
there is no room to misinterpret. When we truly humble ourselves we only want
what God wants and we don't confuse our wants and desires with what God would
have us do. This week my companion and I really humbled ourselves in prayer
before the Lord for one of our investigators that told us that she wasn't ready
for baptism (even though we knew she really was) and that very next lesson we
had with her she accepted a date to be baptized! Her name is Norma, I learned
through this experience with Hermana Norma that through specific, sincere
prayer miracles are wrought to pass.
I love you all so much and I love my
work here. Remember that if you ever feel alone or that you need a friend, that
your father in heaven is always there to support you in your trials. Alma 36:3
Much Love,
Hermana Hansen
