Hey Mom,
I am really happy that everything went really well with your
talks. I would really like to read those. Because a calling does not come from the bishop it comes from God.
He will never give us something that we cannot do. That is
something that I have learned in my mission. That at times it seems
impossible to complete but the Lord is just asking us to have faith and
confidence in him.
Transfer day. I left Camarones and am now in a new
area called Plateros. Tacubaya. It was really sad to leave
Camarones. I love Camarones so much. It is one of my favorite wards.
I love a lot of people there. We went to get some pictures with the
people I really loved. My new companion is Elder Rosas. I was with
him in Tejupilco when he first started his mission. I am so excited to
work with him. He is really excited so this change will be really great.
Today when we were on our way to our new areas I saw my "mom",
Elder Johnson, my 2nd companion in the mission field. He was on his way
to the offices. He goes home on Thanksgiving. It struck me really
hard how fast time is going. When he was my companion he had 8 months in
the mission. I had 4. That was over a year ago. He is going
to visit you all when he goes down to Utah.
Well this week went really well. We have been working
really hard. Nancy and her little boy Tonathu were going to be baptized
Saturday but they decided to postpone it until the next Saturday when all of
her family comes down to see it. I am a little sad because I won't see
them be baptized but that's ok. Tonathu reminds me a lot of Eli. I
went to Primary with him yesterday. It was really awesome.
It was hard saying goodbye to the Familia Leos. I felt
like I left the family in a really hard time. Hermana Susana is close to
giving up. She is your twin mom. The things she says and does are
just like you. And what she does with her kids you did with us. But
she is struggling with the kids. They do not want to go to church.
She also told us that she went to go see her daughter Friday (the mom of
Sebastian and Laura) but she was really drugged out. She wants nothing to
do with Sebastian and Laura. It is really sad. Heart breaking.
And Jonothan doesn't want anything to do with the church now. He
was not there when we went by yesterday. I was so so so sad. He has
a girlfriend that is Christiana that is putting thoughts into his head. She
is pulling him away from the church. It breaks my heart when I see the
people I love straying from the church. He is looking for happiness in
the things of the world but the truth is that it is going to bring him to his
destruction. But it's ok. I know that the Lord will look after this
amazing family.
I am so happy to be a missionary. This is how we have
happiness in this life. There is no other way. If we want to be
happy we have to keep the commandments. I love you so much Mom. I
am so grateful for the example that you set for me. I love you so much.
Have a great week.
Always and Forever
Elder Hancock
