Hermana Juliet Hansen - Changes are coming ....

Hi all,

So in super big news....they are splitting our mission. It'll take
place in July and all of the missionaries that will be serving in the
desert at that point will be moved into the new California Bakersfield
Mission. So all that will be left of my mission will be the San
Fernando Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley. It's super crazy but it
just means that even more missionaries are being sent to California.
The Lord is hastening his work!!

This week we had an investigator drop us, sad....by pretending to be
asleep on the bed when we went over for the lesson....but we were able
to find an even better investigator that same day. Her name is
M....... and she really is an earnest seeker of truth. She's studied
with various churches over the years just looking for something to
fill her. When we shared with her the message of the restoration she
shared with us how she felt that it was true and she was sooooo
excited to be able read the Book of Mormon. We told her about church
and she asked if it was the one right up Glenoaks and we asked her how
she knew. Apparently, her sons went to cub scouts for 2 years with a
really good member friend. So she already has good experiences with
the church. I love it when that happens :)

We have a couple that we're teaching that are just AWESOME!! They have
a date set for my last Sunday in the mission and this weekend we were
able to teach them about the Word of Wisdom. We asked them to exercise
their faith and give us their coffee and they did it!! Such a cool
experience. The wife loved church on Sunday and it seems like things
are starting to turn around for them. The husband was able to find a
job for the weekend and we're optimistic that as they continue to keep
the commandments he will be able to find another job soon.

I was able to be on bike for the first time of my mission this week.
And I LOVED it! Such a fun way to do missionary work. You literally
can talk to everyone that you pass.

Well, I have to go....sadly. There is so much more that I could share.
I guess more stories for when I get home :)

Love you all,

Hermana Hansen
