10/16/2023 - Week 13 - Bonk (Listen to audio)

Hey y'all, this is gonna be a shorter email this week because I have been advised to limit my time writing and reading for the time being. At the end of this email I'll have a voice recording of what I would've written normally.

So... just for the basics, I guess I'll get it out of the way quickly. I was in an accident on my bike with a car and I have a concussion and some mystery injury to my shoulder ☹️. Not fun.

Most of this week was recovery from that injury + Zone Conference! I will have much more detail in the voice recording about this week. But writing this isn't great for my headache so I'm gonna just do the rest in the recording. 

I hope all of you guys are doing well and I love hearing your messages! 

I miss y'all and hope you are doing better than I am!

7/16/2023 - Elder Hansen's Farewell Talk in Sacrament Meeting

Good morning Brothers and Sisters, it feels good to see all of you one last time before I head out on my mission. I’d like to start today by sharing some of the insights I have had while doing the online portion of my MTC training. My companion for all of my MTC training is Elder Sainsbury who just graduated from Rocky Mountain this year and someone I deeply respect. I am extremely grateful for the fact that my companion is someone I know at least a little bit and can get along with easily. I am also grateful for all that he has taught me so far during our time together in the MTC. My MTC district has also been a huge blessing to me. My district has always been very open about their struggles, insights, and together we have helped each other out and encouraged each other along. We are each slowly improving every day and that's all that we can hope for from one another. One of the main focuses of our study in the MTC has been the power of boldly proclaiming simple truths and allowin...

10/9/2023 - Week 12 - Carr vs. Car

Image
Whats up y'all? This week's been a roller coaster of just crazy cool and crazy weird things happening. I'll start with the title story, which isn't that funny, but it made for the best title in my opinion. So, it's no secret that Elder Carr is an adrenaline junkie and when we go down this one big hill back to our apartment, he loves to just go as fast as he can down the road. Unfortunately, on Saturday night this week when we were about halfway down the hill (going very fast for bikes) a car decided to turn left right as Elder Carr was going through the intersection (we had the right of way) and Elder Carr trying to not get hit smoothly drifted his bike for about .3 seconds until he flew over his handlebars right in front of the car turning left. Luckily, the car stopped in time so he wasn't run over, but he did rip his pants. So technically the Carr v car fight night ended in a draw, but luckily no one was hurt too bad. We also found a dude outside the Church w...

7/15/2024 - Week 52 - Transfers + Baleada = Great Week

Image
Wowza, so much stuff happened this week. I'm still gonna try to keep this email pretty brief so you don't have to take a nap halfway through it. This week we had a ton of member meals with members from a lot of different countries so we got to try a ton of different kinds of foods! Some of the best was some Guatemalan spaghetti and fried chicken (with tortillas of course), some amazing tacos from the familia Escobedo (plus cake and they sang me happy birthday because I had a birthday since they fed us last? I'm still not too sure what that's about but they're amazing), some world famous Nicaragüense BALEADA with the familia Amador, and lastly some Chicken Noodle Soup with our new member Yenni and her family! It was awesome to see the dedication and sacrifice these families will make to show their love for the missionaries! We also had transfers this week so I kind of got transfered to another area, but its more like the two sets of missionaries in this area got comb...
