JUNE 6 2016 CHURRO...CHULLOS...AND MOTORTAXIS

JUNE 6 2016

Hey Hey Hey!  Well I am just the happiest/coldest little (well not so little) peruvian missionary there ever was.  Soooo much to tell you all, but yeah Ill give it my best.

First off, I LOVE PUNO! Chuno, chullos, and mototaxis is a pretty good way to sum up this little part of the world. But it is so incredibly beautiful here. With that....it is also incredibly cold here. I honestly have not warmed up since I walked off the bus.  That just means ill be adding to my collection of llama sweaters.  Our sector is all hills. Let me rephrase that. Our sector is nothing BUT hills.  Straight up verticle. Also there is ZERO air here.  Its taken my lungs some time to get used to the altitude.  But nothing a little hierbal tea cant fix! (i honestly dont know what they give me when they give me these teas...but they seem to work.  They know more then I do!)  So yeah! The first few days were me trying to keep up with my companion....and trying not to pass out.  A little pathetic haha but yeah I am feeling really good now!  At the top of our sector, you can see all of Puno, Lake Titicaca, and Boliva...haha have a told you guys how blessed I am to be serving in the most beautiful part of the world? Yeah probably a few times :)  

The name of my sector is Manco Capac, in the Zone Bellavista.  We didnt go to church this Sunday, for elections, but it sounds like we have a great little ward.  There is a lot of work to do here, and Im excited to get started.  My new companion is Hermana Martinez from Bolivia, and she is just the cutest, humblest, sweetest little thing. She speaks quechwa, so she has been teaching me quechwa this week!  Also she likes to braid my hair, in other words, I am just too blessed.  She just finished her training, so shes new and ready to work!  We have a lot of plans, and I can already tell we are going to see amazing things happen here!

This week, all the missionaries in Puno did a service project for the city of Puno.  It was really great to see some people I havent seen in a long time! The people from the news where they filming us, and I guess in the night we were on the news. Our pension told us that I had myself a little highlight moment, of me sweeping in the plaza de armas of Puno.  Hay esta, my minute of fame.  Puno Famous. 

Alma 13:24

"For behold, angles are declaring it unto many at this time in our land, and this is for the purpose of preparing the hearts of the children of men to recieve his word at the time of his coming to his glory"

I know this to be true with all of my heart.  I have seen it so many times.  This week, we have been looking for new people.  And just within these few days, I have seen God putting prepared people in our path.  We just have to find them.  

Well, I have you all have a nice and warm week!  Love you all!

Con Amor, 

Hermana Hansen
