Hey Family!,
You have had many changes! It is exciting that you are getting to work in SAN LOUIS RIO COLORADO!!! (I think) Now that you have had a weeks experience, tell us more?
Yeah, it is exciting to work in San Louis Rio Colorado. It is quite a different change. Before I was the junior companion gringo but right now I have been having a lot more responsabilities and worries because people understand me more and I am a lot more forward plus with the Spirit one can do anything that he has too.
What is Elder Ibanez like (looks, personality, missionary style) and where is he from?
He is so funny, he is from Pueblo Mexico and he has the biggest grin. He is pretty tall for being mexicano. He really likes to talk in the lessons and I have to remind him to let me talk as well. He is really funny and a nice guy. I am starting to realize how much of an obedient missionary I am. I am the only one wearing a helmet right now. ha ha. Some times this causes problems between us but I explained to him that I wanted to qualify for all the blessings of the spirit through obedience especially as a missionary. He seems to agree and so we are both praying with faith and hoping for miracles here in San Luis.
We looked up San Louis Rio Colorado in Wikepedia and it sounds like it may be extreemly hot there? What is the temperature for you now?
its starting winter season here so its not too hot which is good.
How do you do your contacting?
We are looking for the Chosen or in other words we testify and we hope that the other person is in tune with the spirit enough to tell the difference between all the different churches. We have to contact about 1 out of 100 to find a Chosen but we also have a lot of help from the Spirit. We think we found a Chosen, Martha, and are anticipating a bautism in the next three weeks or so.
Why is there no tracting in the area?
There is quite a bit of tracting but right now we are getting a lot more references than what we were getting in Tijuana. We are also making plans and goals with Ward leaders to keep them coming and also to allow us to help out more in the Ward.
Why is your house so awesome?
Its just really nice. Today we spent the morning cleaning it from the ages of teenage boys that have inhabitated it. It was rough and we are still not finished.
Do you enjoy biking?
My legs are dieing but it is a lot faster than walking. Here in San Luis most of the roads are Sand....yeah, sand....so we try to hit the pavement as much as we can. It is however completely flat. Which makes me miss Tijuana a little and Utah.
What experiences you can share with us?
I am breakdancing in the morning. ha ha. I had been having a hard time trying to find some type of cardivascular activity to do in the morning until I found that it never says dancing in the white bible.
I will try to think of more experiences to share with you as well. Did I already tell you about (Pedro) and (Pedrita)?
Did you get your Autumn Package? Now that you are farther from the Mission Home, how often will you get to go. I assume you will go there for Zone Conferences - when is your next one? I need to make sure you are able to get your Christmas package before Christmas so I will try to send it soon.
Yeah! thanks! I haven´t been able to get a backpack so maybe could you send me my High Sierra. Its perfect for the missionary work. Also a Carabeaner for my old packback because it broke again.
Thanks love you all!
Elder Hanson
