Email - May 12
We have had a few
miracles this week. It still has been super hard because we have no
investigators, but the Lord is blessing us as we work for it. We were getting
pretty downhearted because all we want to do is teach people! And we haven't
had many opportunities to do so recently. We decided to go visit this older
lady in the ward that has been severely sick and going through treatments, she
just got out of the hospital last week. We prayed right before we walked to her
house and said to Heavenly Father that it has been really hard, lately, and we
really are trying to find more people. We asked Him to bless us with
opportunities to find new investigators through members. We went to the house
(Lopez family) and the husband answers the door, he lets us in and goes and
tells his wife to come out because we are at the house, visiting her. He
comes back out and is talking to us, he gives us a referral without us even
having to ask him! He said that there is a lady in their trailer park named
Fabiola and she seems prepared to hear the gospel. She is the mom of one of
their grandchildren's friends. Well, we got her trailer number and were planning to
stop by her house after we were done visiting with them. We then started
talking to Sister Lopez, just seeing how she is doing and ten minutes later,
the referral (Fabiola) walks in the door. We
meet her casually and start getting to know her. We started talking about the
gospel and Brother and Sister Lopez are amazing and share their conversion
experience. They shared all the blessings they have received from the Gospel.
Fabiola is an amazing hard-working mom that has had a lot of things go wrong in
her life, but we know that she is prepared to hear the gospel now and we know
how much it will bless her life. We came out of that house with a referral
received, a member present lesson, and a new investigator all because we set up a
time on Wednesday to come by her house. It was incredible! We knew that
Heavenly Father was answering our prayers.

Hi, my name is Alexis. I am preparing to serve Spanish speaking in the Tempe mission, and I just wanted to say thank you to Sister Hansen for all her blog posts she has written. From what I can tell, we might have a lot in common. And I feel like in all the ways I've tried to get a grasp on what I'm heading out to do, this blog has helped me the most. I feel at peace and excited about my mission now, and I just can't express about much this has helped me! I hope she can train me, because that would be AWESOME (altho maybe she's in the Gilbert mission now?). Either way, THANK YOU! This has been an amazing help.
