TRANSFERS

Well, I survived my second Transfers. I am staying in my area for at least one more moves. Which is what I wanted so that is good. I am getting a new companion. An Elder Field from Utah. I have never met him so I don't know too much about him so we will see how that goes. But I am excited I needed a change. I will be excited to serve with somebody new. I don't know this for sure, but my sources tell me that this moves will be 8 weeks instead of 6 because if not we would move a week before Christmas. So I will be in this area until like a week after Christmas. Well, I guess I could be here longer but that is when the next transfer is.

This Sunday we had a good Sabbath Day. We were able to Confirm Joel, so that was really cool to kind of seal things up. The young Men's President in the ward confirmed him and did a good job. Then Sunday night the missionaries in our ward (us) put on a Fireside. It was AMAZING. The spirit was strong. It was all about the life of the Savior, and it was excellent. There wasn't as many people there as we wanted but it was still well worth it. I had asked Sister Sharpe to sing because Elder Greer said that she was a good singer. She sang 'I Stand All Amazed' and it was Beautiful she sang like an angel. Then me and Elder Ridge (ZL) and another elder sang a trio of 'Nearer My God to Thee' But we all had solos and harmonized really well together, and it was very good number I thought. But anyways it was a good night and everybody there was saying how good it was. We got a Less Active, Ambrose, out to it and so that was good as well.
We saw Rose and Joe again this week and they are doing much better, it has been over a week now with no drink so we are excited about that and hopefully they will keep going strong.
One other Miracle this week was me and Elder Greer were trying by a few call backs in a couple of areas that we had tried by last week. So, we were walking to another area kind of a long ways away (25-minute walk) and it came to me a potential we had received the week before. I was prompted to go by this potentials house. Now I have only met this guy once talked to him on the street and got his address, but we talk to so many people each day that I would have never remembered him on my own. So, I told Elder Greer we needed to stop by this guy's house. His name was Frank. So, we stop by and he says 'come in come in I was expecting you last week' so we went in and met his girlfriend and there we continued to teach them the first lesson about the restoration. They are living together but not married and they have three kids together. She is Irish, He is African. Anyways they then told us that they were looking for a church that they could go to as a family. He was Anglican and she was catholic. But They wanted something that they could all do as a family. Then we talked about the Book of Mormon and they said that they would read from it and pray and we could talk to them about it the next time that we would come. Then they asked a lot of questions and after everything that we explained to them they just said, "I already believe that." So, then the lady, Theresa, said we want to come to church but we want you to come over a few times before so we know more, and we will know what is going on at the church. It was just amazing all the way around. They are the most prepared people I have seen. Now I know we've only been there once so it could not work out but I am so excited to work with them. The Holy Ghost leads you where you need to be!!!
Well, The Big Election is Tuesday it will be interesting to see who wins, looks like Obama but you never know.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAD TOMORROW. I hope you have a good one. I hope you don't have to work. HAPPY BIRTHDAY also to Aunt Carla this week.
It really is starting to be freezing every day over here. Also, this week we changed time so that was good to get 9 hours of sleep Saturday night. So, we are 7 hours difference now instead of 8.
Well thanks this week to Jamie, Mom and Dad, Magen and Also to JoyLynn for a little package I was excited about that.
I hope you all have a good week I Love You and Miss You all so much but im doing the work of the Lord.
Elder Wacey Hancock

Letter to/from Mom

  Good Morning Mom, It was so nice to get an email from you today. I hope you are about to recover from everyone being up to Taylor for Christmas, I bet your ready for some quiet time. Well Elder Hansen, From Joseph City, Is still not back yet but hopefully sometime. Transfers are in 2 weeks so my companion will probably move but we could both stay here we will see. I don't really have any news just getting over being sick but i feel pretty good today so hopefully the worst is past. We were both about to go stir crazy in the flat so it will be good to get back into a routine. I don't know how some missionaries don't work and are lazy, the time goes by so slow when you do that. Everything is much better when you are actually working and having good lessons to teach. "it is only those who do not know how to work who do not truly love it." I got your letter today from a few days after christmas. I'm glad you got your New Years date, that sounds like fun. Well in ...

"I'm Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired"

  Well Good Morning family, Hope this email finds you all well. I have been sick the last four days I just can't seem to get over the bug I have but I am feeling pretty good today so hopefully I will be ready to go out for a regular day tomorrow. It's weird at first I had a bad sore through and my hole body just ached. But then it felt like someone had just been punching my stomach. My stomach has been killing but no throwing up or anything. So, it has been weird but I think it's about gone. But my companion has been sick as well so at least we've been miserable together. It probably doesn't help being couped up in an old mouldy flat. But we both are about to go crazy. So anyways besides being sick I am awesome. So sorry there's not really anything to report I have kind of been out of the loop for a few days. A member named Norman volunteered to take us to Giants Causeway so that will be cool. I think we are going next Wednesday. So that will be awesome we have ...

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Well Hope you all Have a Very Merry Christmas. I just wrote a long email and I did something so the whole thing was erased so now you are going to get a condensed version because I don't have time to write it all out again. I can't believe that I am not going to be home tonight for the big party and for Christmas. I think those are about my favorite 48 hours of the whole year. I heard the Hancock party was fun last night I was wishin I could be there to see all my cousins. But even though I am a little home sick I wouldn't be anywhere else, I'm still lovin the work and grateful for the chance I have to serve. Last night we were tracting, which we have been doing a lot of because its Christmas week and everyone is busy, so we haven't had too many appointments. Anyways so we were tracting and we knocked on this door and a guy named Johnathen answered he is about 23 probably. So we talked to him for a while on the door step and then he said "do you want to come in...
