Yes my package most certainly got here, and I loved it! That was great! Thanks for the sweatshirt and everything! The candy is just about gone, and the pens are pretty well broken in! Thanks for sending it!<br />
<br />
The sickness, well sorry about that, but it is here also, you know it has just been around a lot more lately, and everyone seems to be getting it. But I hope that nobody else gets anything alright!<br />
<br />
I would love to get some pictures in the mail, because with email, yes obviously I have to delete them because they take up too much space. Sorry!<br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yes things look very good for the baptism. It is a "spoon feed" from a less active member, who came back and is now wanting to help share the gospel with his girlfriend! It’s awesome! The lessons are way easy, she never has any problems, and is always ready for us, and the member tells her everything that she doesn’t know, and explains everything before and after the visit! I love that! It’ll be really good for the branch to have another couple here, I am excited.</span></em></strong><br />
<br />
Everything else seems to be going fairly well too, all that with the rest of the investigators that we have, and all the rest of the work is getting better, pretty normal.<br />
<br />
But that’s about it! Have a great week! <br />
<br />
Take care!<br />
<br />

He speaks perfect English, and is believing, but not that practicing of his religion. The Book of Mormon will have to be what changes his heart, and we have shared it with him, and he is excited to read. We’ll see how it goes this week. Otherwise things are normal here, the numbers are growing more and more at church on Sunday, it is incredible. I have never seen something like this.</span><br />

Sorry about last p-day, we had a lot of stuff happen, and I was sort of all mixed up when I came to do email, and we were in a rush to get across town, so I didn’t do much as far as what I usually do on p-days, but I did get a letter out to Morgan, so don’t worry about that!</span><br />

It’s just funny when you are sick, because everyone thinks that it’s the swine flu.</span><br />

But wow the dogs seem to be pretty busy, and the same with the rest of the life!<br /><br />First of all, thank you so much for the package!!! It was great, and yes I am very grateful, and indeed wear the new shoes now, but I am going to try and save as much as I can for the rain, I’ll wear the old shoes the dry days, and then the news in the rain to try and keep them in good shape!<br />Thanks so much for doing that, and with the hurry and everything, it is appreciated!<br /><br />Sorry about the small priests quorum, but it’s funny to think about separated priesthood, I haven’t ever seen that here, we just have the class and hope for 5 members.<br /><br />So do you keep in touch with Easter? Or who does? That does seem pretty good, and pretty exciting. The church is pretty big in France; they just can’t build a temple due to government laws, that’s why one got put on the fast track here in Spain. Their membership is much higher than ours, but they are limited. We had dinner this week with a lady who served her mission in France, and she told me a lot, I feel like I know much more now than before.<br /><br />Anyway, I will for sure get a letter out to Morgan, and things should be alright!<br /><br />Well I am quite tired, we just got back from a several hour hike to the top of this cool mountain, and we took lots of pictures, and just had a lot of fun.<br /><br />Things have been improving, we found some pretty cool people this week, and we filled the church right up! We had to pull in chairs from the classrooms because we filled up all the chairs in the chapel! It was a blast, I do love going to church, even if it is stressful, and I still feel good after.<br /><br />Anyway that’s about it, I’ve got to run, but have a good week!<br /><br />Thanks for everything!<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Love you,<br /><br />Elder HansonShelly Hansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09635701101650403643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324034951174167613.post-50929266670878497582009-09-06T19:56:00.000-07:002009-11-16T11:15:22.613-08:00August 24, 2009<span style="font-family: "American Typewriter"; mso-bidi-font-family: 'American Typewriter';">Hey!!!</span><br />

But yes the shoes here are junk! Both of them! But what did Mr. Mac say? Did they give you any problems? I do wear a 44. I was surprised to see the email, and that you had already got them and all; I mean that is really impressive, thanks for doing that so quickly!</span><br />

I think the thing that I am working on now is showing him how to have a good time while working really hard. There never was any rule that said that you can’t have a good time out on your mission, so I am trying to let him have that. It is something that I didn’t really have with my trainer, when we did work, it wasn’t fun, and when we did have a fun time, we didn’t work, but I’ve</span><br />

Well that’s way cool you got to talk with President DuVall, he is one amazing person, I am curious did he say that he was looking for a car too? I told him to go and see you, so I am just curious to see if anything happened there.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>But otherwise the rex <span style="color:#990000;">(Honda CRX)</span> project seems to be moving along, but are you really going to just put the hatch and the spoiler on the car black!? That would be pretty funny. But how much can you save from the other rex as far as dash or seats and stuff? I assume a lot of it is bent and banged up, but just curious to how much you can salvage.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Things this week flew by, we had Zone Conference, and that was great, it was a little different with the new mission president, but we had a great time getting to know everyone, and it was good.Then I went on comp exchanges to another city, Avilés, <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363151055421655058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 272px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNByE3_nUrAbWLAJhEfO12O0uMV9cdjNLTMrse2wtmw1Kjr8posqpRdhaJjEaY_CT4VwbHjHjy4paN2Qb6JsFMB2e1Qz0yW0AoAam6eQh9ekxV8HR1oMHGJpS5CIprjok7AGO9TAsMD6A/s400/Blog.jpg" border="0" />it is the smallest city in the mission, but I had a good time. Then we had little exchanges here in Oviedo, because we cant do them this week because I have to travel back to Santiago tomorrow to finish up my residency, and then the day I get back it’s transfers, and then who knows!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Things are moving right along though, we are finding and teaching more people all the time, and my companion and I are getting along really well, it's nice when you figure out what the strengths and weaknesses of each companion is, and you can just get to work, and help each other.But that’s about it for this week! Thanks for the mail! Send some pics of the REX!!!!!<br /><br />Take care, have a good week! </div><br /><div>Love you, </div><br /><div>Elder Hanson</div>Shelly Hansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09635701101650403643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324034951174167613.post-22961502920790069582009-07-22T07:14:00.000-07:002009-07-22T07:17:39.831-07:00July 20th 2009Holy Cow Dad!<br /><br />Well that is good that everything is going alright on the project, but why did newt want to change the color? I liked the white! But, that should be cool to have all the things put all back together, it seems like a nice rig.<br /><br />So how about the trips and all that? How were those? I haven’t been getting too many mails from anyone, and I’m just guessing that everyone is just on vacation!<br /><br />So the city is pretty awesome, I do like the big park, we live right there next to it, and then we have the rest of the city that is really nice too.<br />The thing I like about this place is how clean it is, I mean Google maps doesn’t really show that, but it is awesome here, it is known to win the cleanest city in Spain award every year. You can’t take your trash out until like 9 pm, and they are just good on keeping everything else up too.<br /><br />Besides that, the branch is good, everyone is a recent convert, over half of the branch was baptized within the last 5 years, but they are all really cool, and they like the missionaries, so that’s a plus.<br /><br />The new mission president is way cool. We had our interviews the other day, and they went well, his wife is sisters with the Chappels, and so that was a nice ice breaker for the conversation, and otherwise they seem great. We have our first Zone Conference with them tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes too.<br /><br />Everything else is alright, and normal, it’s humid here, and we sweat all day, but you get used to it I guess. We had a wedding the other day, but we had to set up and serve everyone, but we did eat too, so it was alright.<br /><br />But besides that, the rex <span style="color:#660000;"><strong>(Nate’s Car)</strong></span> seems like a project and a half! Man, you’ve got to send me some pics of something! I think that would be pretty fun for Newt, I hope everything else goes alright.<br /><br />Well, that’s all for today! Have a good week!<br /><br />Love you,<br /><br />Elder HansonShelly Hansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09635701101650403643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324034951174167613.post-37937487238947031962009-07-01T13:41:00.000-07:002009-07-22T07:18:54.568-07:00June 29, 2009<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'American Typewriter', -webkit-fantasy;">Well Hello!</span><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none"><span style="mso-bidi-American: ;font-family:'American Typewriter';" ><?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p>Yes we heard all about the deaths this past week, it’s what everyone is telling us, and how the US beat Spain in the soccer tournament, that was pretty big news.</o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none"><span style="mso-bidi-American: ;font-family:'American Typewriter';" ><o:p>But things are great here in the new city, my comp is really cool, and the city is big, and kind of crazy.

So I don’t know if it would be wise to try and get in the spring semester, fix my 4 crappy classes that I didn’t do anything, (because if you just retake the classes it replaces your grade) and then try and get a scholarship to ride off of for the rest of the year? (All you need for a scholarship is a 4.0 and it’s like paid tuition) It seems a bit risky, so you tell me what you think, and we’ll figure out what we can do.
