She is like my second mom.

My fav sisters made me a cake for my bday :)

My favorites. The kids of our inv! Fam Gutierrez :)

Hey fam!

Ok first off, I am so happy. The mission is HARD and I am lying if I said that I don't cry a lot, but the Lord is so good, and always works miracles according to our faith. :) 

Pues to answer a question from my family. When I say USH its a good thing!! It's just a saying here in the mission. We as missionaries say it when we are happy or something good happens! hahah Also a day in the life of Hermana Hansen is like this: wake up, exercise, get ready, plan for the day, study, we eat at the house of Hermana Reina, then we just either go contacting or pass for our inv!! and visit the recent converts, the members and then we enter the house at 9!! It's pretty basic! We have a new schedule where we can do our studies when we have time!! It is way nice! We walk a lot and it's super hot but I'm lovin' it! And in between all of that we make contacts in the street. 

So, some things happen in the mission that are ALMOST unbearable. We went by the house of a REALLY solid family that was investigating the church, fam Gutierrez, and they told us that THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE. I actually teared up. It felt like I was saying bye to my family once again, like the MTC drop off. It was hard, and while I said the prayer to leave, I started bawling. Really it is amazing how connected I get with every single person. Not sure if it is good for me haha.

Yesterday the members invited us to lunch, and they SURPRISED me with a cake! It was so good and sooooo fun!! I have learned how to open up and LOVE the people. Also we had a family home evening with the family that we are reactivating last night, and I cried. I know I am here to help them. What a joy it is to be here. 

MARBEL HAS A CALLING! She is called to help teach those who don't know how to read or write. It's pretty awesome!! :) I was so thrilled when she told me. I am so blessed that the Lord has allowed me and my daughter Hermana Chub to help her. 

I love it here!! I am genuinely happy. I want you all to know that Christ lives. He suffered for us so we don't have to suffer in this life. I love it here.
