Week Five Letter from Elder Hansen

"Success!! Proselyting was amazing! My companions and i were unleashed upon to the streets of Sao Paulo with no mercy!! haha jk it was really good tho, we handed out 9 Book of Mormons!!!

it was hard not to be prideful, most missionaries only handed out one or two. my companions and i were boasting in our strength a little bit when i read a letter from my papa. it refrenced the scripture that says blessed are those that are humble becauce they are compelled to be humble. more blessed are those that humble themsleves because of the word. it really hit me and i shared it with my companions,so we thanked the Lord for our success and i recalled my missionsary scripture (Alma 26:12).

This is my last week in the MTC, what and experience! Ive grown so much in the gospel and in the language, my companions have even heard me sleep talking in portuguese! Im gonna miss my companions, we've grown so much together that they feel like brothers! We had our last supper today at an all you can eat Brazilian BBQ....... im full. in 6 days i'll be in rio!! i hope i have a good trainer, im gonna be pretty dependant on him haha wish me luck!!

PS thank you to everyone who has been writing me!! i can feel your love, i apologize for not being able to reply to everyone, perhaps i'll have more time in the field!"
