HOLA! 

This week was CRAZY! We traveled so much!! (and so the subject line!) We literally spent SO MUCH time in the busses. I am so tired haha. We went to San Jose on Monday and Friday (5 hour bus ride each way) and we didn't buy our tickets in time so we didn't have a seat...the joys of a mission in Costa Rica :) And we went to Liberia two times, which is a two hour bus ride each way!! So yeah it was a crazy week. 

But even though it was a lot of traveling, we saw SO many miracles this week! We have a solid investigator named Marbel. She is the sister of a less active, and we just found her knocking doors. But we only had two lessons with her. In our second lesson, she told us, ¨I prayed, and I know that this is TRUE!¨ And she even remembered her date for her baptism! :) She came to church yesterday and LOVED it. She was so happy. The miracles are coming and I love it so much :) 

We had a district meeting this week and reevaluated how we are working. We realized that we were depending more on ourselves, and less on the Lord. We quickly repented and worked the way the Lord wanted, and He blessed us with 16 INVESTIGATORS in the chapel as a district (four companionships). It is just really interesting how the Lord works miracles always, when we allow Him. He is always here to help us, but WE MUST ASK. 

I know without a doubt that this church is true. He lives. Jesus Christ directs our church, and His church has been restored. I have no doubt that He came to the earth to suffer for us, and that He died for us. He knows every part of our lives. He loves us and wants to help us. He is our older brother. I am so grateful for all of the support, prayers and love that I receive every week! I love it here, and I am almost tica :) 

Love always, 
Hermana Hansen

Also, we taught primary this week and there were like six little gringos, and it was so hard to teach in English!! I was dying. haha. Everyone was laughing at me! It really is true that you are called to teach the gospel in the language, and you can't do it any other way. 


Also, I know the day I am coming home. hahhaha #trunky BUT I am not going to tell you it! Maybe when time gets closer. It also isn't my fault that I know, the Elder told me against my will! haha 

A mud mask that my investigator gave me!! 

It has volcanic ash from the volcano here! :)

Ya tiene un mes! 

It's tradition to buy a special ice cream when you have a month in the mission :) 

Two gringas with classic Costa Rican empanadas :) What a sight!
