of goodbyes and hellos

Hellooooo everyone!! 

Well the day came quicker than I wanted, but I got transferred away from mi amada, Hermana Young. We got transfer calls on Saturday and I honestly didn't believe it!! But I had a cool experience along with it:) Here we go....so all morning Sunday while I was getting ready, I was just a little worried about who I would be with, and how it would go! At 7:18 am the phone rings, and I see that it said President Hewlett! Obviously my heart started racing, but I answered and he said that all morning the Spirit had been telling him that  "Hermana Hansen had been freaking out about transfers" and so he called me early to tell me! I immediately started crying and just felt an answer to a prayer that I hadn't even expressed. The talk "4th door, last floor" from President Utchdorf came to mind "God hears the silent pleadings of your heart" and it is so true! I now have a firm testimony for that. 

My new companion is Hermana Espinoza...and to say it lightly I am PUMPED. She is from California and her parents are from Mexico!! So she's gonna help me a ton with my Spanish:) She is a firehouse and is a born missionary, and we are going to work so hard. I have a feeling these next six weeks are gonna be so full of miracles :)

We said bye to everyone last night, and saying bye to our investigator Fatima was so hard!! As she said the closing prayer, I started to cry! She has come such a long way and is reading the Book of Mormon! She is progressing spiritually and it's amazing to see her progression 

Funny story: we volunteered at a nativity in the stake center this Friday. We had to leave before dinner time and we just rushed out of the apartment, and so Hermana Young literally grabbed cold fries and a twinkie. So I said, "that's actually not your dinner, right?" And made her eat a banana too...it was so funny! #missionweight

I know Christ is our Savior. It's been amazing to see how His atonement has worked in my life over this past transfer. ❤ I love being a missionary, and I am so excited for this transfer!
