my family!!! 

i love you guys! and holy mackeral.. this week has been crazy. always is, but especially crazy.  Karina and Tania are still pilas, but the familia Veliz, they didnt get baptized still.. wehave divisions today, so i wont be able to go visit them with my companion, but we have a lesson plan that is super intense.  It will be great.  

Um... so one of the mission secretaries has been trying to call you guys, but he says that sometimes the call cuts off or something?  he needed to talk to you guys about something that im avoiding (travel plans....) but its alright.  i think he got all the stuff straightened out.  

This week we have a goal to contact 1000 people as a companionship... its going good, but my voice will be dead at the end of this week thats for sure.

I wanted to share a few things with you guys from my personal study.  its pretty neat!  so get this.  today i read a talk from november 2013 conference from Elder Bednar, he talked about paying tithing and all that... but then he got to a part... he said, " Sometimes we may ask God for success, and He gives us physical and mental stamina.  We might plead for prosperity, and we recieve enlarged perspective and increased patience, or we petition for growth and we are blessed with the gift of grace.  Hye may bestow up0on us conviction and donfidence as we strive to achieve worthy goals. and when we plead for relief from physical, mental, and spiritual difficulties, He may increase our resolve and resilience."   thats pretty sweet.  sometimes i think as humans, we ask for things and look in the direction that we want our answer to come from, but the answer is coming from a different side.. so we dont notice it.  Recently when the secretaries told us that there would no longer be changes in november, just october 28 or Dec 9, i started praying real hard to know when would be best to leave.  I prayed, and prayed and i wanted to stay til december. and i decided that i had recieved an answer.  but then they called again and said its not an option anymore, the area 70s say that we cant extend our missions anymore... so obviously, that was a hard thing to hear.  I learned a little more about Gods will... and how we have to make it our will. 

I love you guys.  hope you are all being so good and studying the scriptures, praying, having fhe, everything!  be so safe and happy and i love you guys!  

Love, hna evans
