Elder Noah Hoskins Hanson West Virginia Charleston Mission : Week 14 - November 7, 2016

Hey everyone! Whoa! It's crazy to think that I've been gone for 3 months now! There have been times where it's been really slow but looking back now, it's FLOWN by! Like what the what?? I have absolutely loved every second of it so far! Yes, there are tough times on the mission but when I look back, I don't think of those rough moments, I can really only remember the AMAZING moments! Gotta just look at the positive side of things! And it's November?? Like what the actual? Guys, it's 2017 in less than 2 months and I'm not ready because I'm so fetching used to writing '16 when I write the date on things. Ugh the struggle is real. Anyways, here are some highlights of the week!

How's the Book of Mormon reading coming along?? We'll be finishing it soon in less than 2 months! That's crazy! I hope you guys have seen the blessings that come from the Book of Mormon as you've been reading! Keep reading! I still have a lot of bookmarks and stickers for you guys if you want one! Just hit me up with an email loooolz.

D----. Sooooo okay here's what's up with her. So on Wednesday, she was very firm with us and said that she was SET on January being the month she gets married....:(:(. We're not sure what else to do other than set her on date FOR January. Please pray for her that she will figure out everything she needs to in order to get married and then baptized! She's still going to church and progressing but she is READY for baptism! I know it!

R----. She's flippin amazing! She's reading from the Book of Mormon and everything and she's really progressing! However, she needs to get married before her baptism. She told us that she would really really need to pray about this one. Then out of nowhere, she told us she had a problem with the word of wisdom. We were like, "You're actually kidding." So that's another thing we're gonna work on with her! But she said she REALLY wants to quit so we'll see what happens :) just keep praying for her that she'll be ready by the 26th of this month!

B----. Nothing's really new with him. He's still reading from the Book of Mormon and we were gonna set him on date for baptism last week but we couldn't ever contact him. He has a new job so it's REALLY difficult for us to contact him. He's doing great though! Just, again, keep praying for him and his amazing progression towards baptism and coming closer to Christ!

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

Create a mormon.org profile!! Mormon.org is a website that members of the church can create a profile and bear there testimony on their profile page which can be seen by ANYONE IN THE WORLD! So by creating a mormon.org profile, your testimony can be read around the world! Does that not sound awesome?? I STRONGLY encourage you guys to do so! And you can read other people's testimonies on there and answer questions that people might have!

Mormon.org | What is the Mormon Church and Religion?
mormon.org
Learn about the Mormon religion and meet members of the Mormon Church. Modern Mormons talk about their faith and answer common questions.

Also, I find out on Saturday if I'm getting transferred! So the next time I write you guys will be on Wednesday next week! Because apparently that's what they do on transfer week. Haha! Just FYI!

Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers! You guys are truly amazing followers of Christ! Hope you guys have an amazing week :) love you all!
