I got bit by a dog this week. Normally it’s really easy to tell which dogs want to bite you because they bark a ton but the second you bend down to pick up a rock they run away. The dog that bit me was walking down the road, minding its own business. Then it bit me in the thigh and just continued on its way. Fortunately, it didn’t break the skin, he just punched a hole in my pants and bruised my leg. So fun.
Yesterday we had three of the people we are teaching come to church and they all loved it! It’s always so interesting that despite all of our worrying about whether or not someone is going to have an enjoyable experience attending church for the first time, they are always able to feel the love that the Lord has for them. I have become
especially aware of this since starting my mission. Despite almost everything that I do as a missionary being centered on Christ, getting through the week is very spiritually taxing. But as I have been able to take the sacrament every week and renue and remember my promises with God, I am able to start every week feeling rejuvenated with His spirit. The spirit and love that God has for each of us is something that we can feel every time we make the effort to go to church.
Thank you for all of the love and support,
Elder Hansen
