I don't even know how to start off this weeks email. so many crazy things happened and i can't even believe its only been a week. 

We got to have District meeting on tuesday this week which was so crazy!! it threw us all off but it was our final one, we lost Elder Freeman and Sister Sanders. So as our last district meeting we had a blast! we took Formal family photos! this is one of my Favorite ones! we are standing/sitting Oldest to youngest. (out the longest to newest) so Elder resinkin is last and Sister Grayson and Elder Freeman go home together.  I love our district it is so much fun! After we had to run off to go to the country club with Mrs Donna.

It was delicious of course. :) 

Later that night we got out of lesson so we could go get our goodbye Journals from the Elders so we headed to their place. as we were drving they texted us saying that they weren't home yet and we could meet them at 9:10. so we went home, planned and put on normal clothes.  WE then drove to the elders apartment. it was foggy that night and we could see cops lights flashing as we got closer we saw a bunch of people and a car. i was like oh! a car accident! sister grayson said hey that looks like Elder Flake! (one of our assistants) 

i said that's funny. he wouldn't be here. (the accident was right outside of the Elders appartment complex.) so we went to buzz in but the elders didn't answer the phone. i said wuoldn't that be weird if the Elders were in that car accident? so we tried calling them again. no answer. so we moved to the back of the line then we followed three people through the gate. we got to the apartment and the lights were off. that's weird we thought. so we decided to go knock as we were getting out of the car the Elders called us. Elder Freeman said sorry. we wont make it there in time we got in a car accident! i screamed i knew it! is everyone okay? Elder freeman said yeah he's fine, no concussion he's walking around. i said wait? who is? Elder resinkin is! he was hit on his BIKE!!! so we said we are coming!!! so we ran down to find out it was Elder Resinkin and he indeed had been hit by a car! while riding his bike!!! the EMT's said he was fine but he may need to go get checked out at the hospital just in case. We found out that he had ran a Red Hand. and so the car honked at him but didn't slow down. He was hit when the car was going like 40 mph!! he is totally fine!! he went to the emergency room and no broken bones no stitches nothing. He was soo lucky!!! 

So they took our car for three days!! it sucked!!! we were on bike again but no one would take us out at night and we didn't want to walk around or bike at night so we just had to stay inside it was awful. One night we did decided to go out when it was dark and we were only out for an hour before we were super creeped out and went home. we finally stole our car back so we could use it. 

Our investigator finally came back into town!!! we were so excited when he finally texted us!! we went over and talked about coming to church and he said he was going to come!!! we were soo excited! then we invited him to an acapella concert that we got to go to. but he bailed on us but!! the concert was super cool!!!  it was an amazing concert! i wish i could send yall the videos i took but they are all too long!!! 

I gave my talk on Sunday about Hope. People said i did really well and Brother Crow said i could tell my parents that my talk was amazing and they don't have to edit and rewrite my talks for me anymore. haha :P i got many laughs and made some people cry! i think i was successful! grandma sally said i talk to fast but i think i did really good on my talking speed! 

I will leave you with a quote by President Monson:

"Sometimes we let our thoughts of tomorrow take up too much of today. Daydreaming of the past and longing for the future may provide comfort but will not take place of living in the present this is the day of our opportunity and we must grasp it." 

This is so true!!! we need to live for today and not worry about anything else! sister bennion gave a talk in stake conference and she talked about living for today. Thinking about how they did good for the day and the next step is tomorrow.  i have come to realize that this advice is very true! as a missionary you give your all for one day!! all day you go out and do as much as you can so when you go to bed at night you can say alright Heavenly Father i gave my all today. i feel successful! i will do it again tomorrow. 

I know this church is true and i love the gospel with all my heart!!! 

Love sister Hanks
