MOM WHERE ARE YOU!?

Hey Fam,

So I didn't get an email from mom.....MOM....ha ha. So I have learned this week to appreciate your emails a little more. Thanks for the update with some of the other guys from the ward. I would love to hear more about what is going on with them. CONGRATS CHRISTIAN!!! SUBIDO!!! DULCE!!! I honestly cant wait to talk with those guys about the mission....in spanish ;). How is Alex? How is Trevor? How is Rusty? How is Jacob?etc.

So this week we are doing pretty good but Satan was hitting us really hard. Everyday we had some great plans but something always happened like having to pay the bills for our house in central.

AWESOME NEWS!!! We got a couch a dining table, it's legit. Our house is fresada(strawberried) or in other words really cool. So I love PMG.

Oh, we found an awesome family but it was really hard and a little sad. We received the reference from Salt Lake which is really rare in and of itself. They are a young couple. We contacted them and the Sister is really sweet and really pregnant. We visited with them and their three little girls in the front room, where there was only a small book shelf and two tires in the corner, until the lights burnt out and then we went to the kitchen. We entered the kitchen to find a small table and about 4 chairs was all that was in the room. We talked with them and found out that he doesn't have a job and she is working at a restaurant. They also don't have hardly any food and three little girls ages 6, 3, and 2 I think. I am seeing a whole new side to life. We stopped by a grocery store before our next and bought two bags of pastries and 6 bananas. We dropped them off at there house and later that night we met up with him as he was going to buy some milk to celebrate the pastries with his daughters. They are so sweet and I can't believe how much faith they have. As we sat down for our first visit I told them that I could see in the future a room filled with food and lights and pictures of Christ and more importantly a feeling of strong fortified faith and love. The wife told me that's exactly what she wanted. We read the scripture in Mosiah 2 about being blessed both spiritually and temporally and this time the scripture had even more meaning to me.... I wish the whole world could have the opportunity to serve a mission in Mexico Tijuana.

Love you guys,
Elder Hanson
