Dear Family,
This week was really good week. We worked so
hard. Elder Mendoza is a great missionary. Its weird to think we
are coming up on another change. We are excited to see what happens with
changes. We don't know if I stay or Elder Mendoza stays. But we are
really anxious to find out what happens.
There was an earthquake last night around 8:30. We
were walking down the street and we saw a lot of people outside of their
house. We were wandering what was going on than we heard a member from
our ward call out to us and told us there was an earthquake happening. We
didn't feel anything until she said something. It was super weird.
It was just an aftershock the epicenter was in Michoacan. I think they
said it was like a 5.7 or something we don't really know the details just that
the Missionaries that are there had a good wakeup call. Second tiny one
in the past two weeks. cool experience.
We had a miracle happen yesterday. We were sitting in
church with no investigators. We had passed by with all of our
investigadores but all of them were sleeping and didn't answer the door or
were not home. I got to admit I was a little bit
disappointed. At the End of the meeting we had a man walk up to us and
introduce us to his girlfriend Patricia. He said that she was
investigating the church and wanted to learn more. We taught her just
about everything in the church because she told us that she had a lot of doubts
and questions. we kept answering her questions and then she told us that
she had had a really cool experience at conference two weeks ago. She
told us that she just kept having a feeling but she didn't know what it
was. We talked about baptism with her. We invited her to be
baptized she said yes but as soon as possible. We were so happy that we
had to restrain ourselves from leaping out of our chairs and shouting for
joy. that same day we taught her everything and was baptized.
that was her first time talking with the missionaries. Not once in my
mission so far has this happened to me. It is something I am so grateful
for. I felt a bit bad this past week because we were working so hard but
not having very much success. When we do the things that we need to do to
the Best of our ability the Lord will do his part. We will be blessed.
Something very powerful I learned. Proof to me that we have a loving
Heavenly Father who does love us so much that He is begging for us to keep His
commandments so that he can give us blessings. But He will always do His
part but us first must do ours.
At times it is hard to keep the commandments. But if
we keep them we will enter the Kingdom of God. If we do these simple
things that we know we will have this blessing together as a family. I
love you all so much.
Always and Forever,
Elder Hancock

PS. Mom I ran out of money. Could you send me
some more please? I am really sorry. I will do better. I love
you so much.
