I’m doing amazing! I am finally
starting to get the hang of things. But in the morning it gets a little
hard because I’m just a little overwhelmed with that thought that I have two
entire years left but I can see that from the two weeks I have been here that
it will go by super fast. Pretty much since I have been here we have done
street contacting and chapping everyday all day, but it’s gotten a lot easier
and the time goes by a little faster. The work is starting to pick up a little
and it’s really nice.
I am going to do what Bro.
Blackham said and send letters in the mail in the middle of the week, and
President Brown lets us email friends, so tell everyone I know that they can
email me and tell them that they need to email me first so they don't think I’m
just not talking to them haha.
The people are interesting and
are the nicest but when it comes to missionaries they can be a little
interesting. Pretty much every single person we talk to on the street is either
Catholic, atheist, or Christian. But a majority of the people we talk to
are atheists or black people because they are very nice and very open. A
LOT of people say that they need "evidence" or they need it like
"numbers" but I just say that the reason that Heavenly Father doesn't
just show us is because I think He trusts us that we can be willing to do what
it takes to know what is true. It’s funny because Aberdeen always changes at
night around 8:00-9:00, that’s when the drunk people come out and they can
be a treat. It’s also nice to talk to other Christians because we have such a common
belief and they can be really nice.
One time this week we went to
Tori..... that is one of the most dodgy places I have ever been haha. We went
to a house and it was like the sandlot where you hear the dog clawing at the
door and it sounds like it’s going to break it down. Sometimes i see these
people that are really unhappy and its pretty noticeable and I feel bad for
them because they just don't know. When I was fist out here I was really scared
and my companion had a talk by Holland and Eyring and I think that you can find
it on youtube named "Missionaries and the Atonement" and it just really spoke to
me and that talk really just changed my life.
Some interesting things:
they don’t refrigerate
eggs
the plumbing is weird... I’ll
explain more when I get home
everything here is crazy
expensive
If you do send anything, send
it to the mission office (mom you don’t need to send candy or anything unless
ill ask for it because I can get a lot of stuff here)
fit= what
they use diluted juice A LOT and don’t really
have any good drinks here
I’ll send pictures next week
but i left my backpack in the flat.
I love you all. -Elder Hanson
