I got transferred this last week and had zero time to email last week so I am sorry about that. But I am in Texcoco. This area will be the closest to Idaho I will find here in Mexico. I actually can see the mountains a little bit better and I can smell the dirt too! It brings me so much joy every day. Haha!
I am grateful to me a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I want to share the love I have for the Hansen family and the HUGE impact every single one of them have made in my life. They are true followers of Christ and I will forever be grateful for them.
This last week was one full of struggles and miracles. Thinking about the Hansen family has been very difficult for me because I consider all of them to be some of my closest friends, but as I remembered how much Kirk and the whole Hansen family loved missionary work, I was able to focus each day and I absolutely saw more miracles this week than I can even count. I know that God lives. He has a plan for every single one of His children.
I read a story once that went like this, “there was 2 men walking on the beach. One was an ordinary man named “John” and the other was Jesus Christ. As they were walking they could see 2 separate sets of foot prints. One for John and the other Jesus Christ. John noticed that in his hardest moments in life he could only see one set of footprints. So he asked Jesus why he would abandon him like that in such moments of dispare. Jesus responded, I never left you alone. I was always there. In those hardest moments of your life I was carrying you on my back because I knew you couldn’t do it without me. Jesus said, John I love you.”
Family and friends, this life is hard. But Jesus Christ will never leave you out to dry. He will never let you suffer something you can not bare. He WILL carry you when you need it the most. I have an unwavering testimony that Jesus is the Christ. He loves me and you unconditionally and will always, ALWAYS be right by your side. Trust in him. He will lead the way of a life of miracles.
Look unto Christ in every thought, Doubt not; Fear not

With much love for every single one of you. Have a great week serving the Lord.
