Hey family! 

How's life? I love you guys!

Okay where to start... this week has been awesome! God has blessed us a ton, we've witnessed many miracles, and had a lot of fun!

On Monday we said goodbye to Sister Koyle- after serving her 18 months it was time for her to return home! But no worries, we made sure she went out in style haha! 

We welcomed Sister Villiagas into our district, and got back to work! Haha I love working!

We had Zone Conference this week, and the MSTL's did a training where we had to hold our arms out to our sides while we watched a video of Christ being crucified. It was super impactful, because your arms are really sore but you can't even imagine putting them down while Christ is literally being put on the cross. It really made me ponder my love for the Savior, and the reason that I am here on a mission! To share the love I feel with everyone!

Lots of miracles have been happening, and I'm learning how to rely on the spirit. Like for example, the other day we were biking and I decided to take a different route. As we were biking I just thought to myself "why? Why are we going this way, even though I know it's a longer route?" Well, turns out because we took the longer route we were able to meet this really cool guy and teach him about the Restoration!

I've really gained a testimony of God in our lives! He's in the details! He knows us, and loves us, and puts people in our paths! 

Well, I gotta go, but I love you! Bye!







Hello Family!

This is Sister Hansen, reporting to you live from the Green Valley Stake Center in Henderson. Life is good here in the desert, with temperatures averaging a cool 105 degrees. 🏜☠️

Haha how's it going everybody? I love you all! I'm sorry that my emails have been so short, I've just been busy working hard and loving where I am. But I really do appreciate all the letters, emails, and messages I get from you each week- it really helps to remind me of the reason why I am out here, and that I always have people at home cheering me on! So thank you!

This week has been pretty great. Sister Cheyne and I still ride our bikes a lot, we've really come to love biking and we've gotten really fast! It's awesome!

We laugh a lot, and we make even the most miserable moments fun! The work is still slow in this area, and our District has even tried to help us. Doors just don't seem to ever open. The Elders came and blitzed a apartment complex in our area, knocked on thirty doors and they only spoke to 2 people. I really relate to the "Hello" missionary parody. But it's okay, we continue to work as hard as we can.

Our District is pretty awesome. We help each other out a ton, and we always cheer each other on! In fact, we are losing Sister Koyle tomorrow. She is going home after serving her awesome 18 months. We took her "death" photo the other day (When a missionary goes home they "die") and we kidnapped her today for her last P-day. It's been a lot of fun. So if I don't respond today it's because we're making her last moments memorable. 

Okay. Gotta run. Love y'all
