Hello Family!
I know that you have all been wondering what is going on this week in my new area! And I am excited to tell you all!
First of all Hermana Reyes (my new companion) is amazing! She is from Peru! She moved to the United states when she was 15 years old, so she knows English really well! She has been out on her mission for more than a year so heat means that I will be "killing" her (or sending her home) just like I did with Hermana Killian. I don't like sending companions home because then I don't get to see my old companions later 😢 She is full of the spirit and loves everyone! When we go contacting she will not let the person go! Which is awesome because sometimes we end up getting a return appointment even though they wanted us to leave at first! She really pushes me like Hermana Killian did. This is a very good thing. I feel like I have a lot to work on still and she is helping me be the best I can be! She loves asking questions and has helped me to start asking people questions and to be interested in their lives. She says it really shows hat you care about what is going on in their lives and they will be more open to you. Which is totally true!
The Saratoga Area is totally sweet! I am still learning my way around but I know I will get a hanging where everything is soon. Hermana Reyes is really good at pointing out landmarks and streets, but I am still struggling (just a little bit). So in this area we are over the San Tomas Spanish Branch and the Moorpark English ward! I get to be over an English ward! Totally Sweet! Our goal as a companionship is to baptize someone into the English ward! I sure hope we do! The only hard thing that I have found out is that white people aren't as open. They either ignores or simply say no... I guess that is OK! We need to weed out he golden investigators.
This week has just been a ton of weeding out the potentials that aren't interested. We do have a few people who might be good.
So first is a teen named Angel. He really reminds me of my brother, Jaron! I really don't know why, but he is really cool and funny. He is about my brothers age too. I hope that we will still be able to keep teaching him.
We did have a lot more investigators that we had to drop he is week... His week we really need to find find and find!
Well I have to go! Hermana Reyes made popsicles and I really want one!
I hope everything is going good with all of you! Keep doing the small and simple things! I know that great things will come to pass!
Hermana Hansen
