Elder William Hansen

Hey everybody! How is everybody doing this week?
This week was pretty short for us as we were in jakarta for zone conference but we definitly learned alot. Lesson 1. DONT MISS YOUR FLIGHT. which we personally learned as we tried to fly home to medan. we were late and they wouldnt let us on! Thankfully we didnt have to pay again but im definitly not gonna do that again! super scary but the mission president wasnt too upset when we got tickets for the next morning for free.
This week was kinda tough. when we were proselyting thursday, we were just getting shut down left and right. then to top it all off, we were walking  by a street by a river houses on one side, river on the other, and when we were walking we came across about 6 men sitting and standing on this road. we walked up to them and started talking to them, only to realize, they were shooting up on heroin in broad daylight right before our eyes! Just telling us they were addicts and needed help and couldnt stop. and they were in a bad state, some looked blue and not alive, but we had to get out of there. That whole rest of the day, we both just felt down and empty and the Holy Ghost was not with us. It made me really grateful for the influence of the Holy Ghost that i feel in my life everyday. I try to never do anything to make myself unworthy of its presence because of the power that the holy ghost has as a member of the Godhead. What a blessing!
We did a lot of talking to our previoius contacts and investigators, and tried to find a lot. not a ton of success, but We are working hard to find people that God put in our path, becuase it has been promised that the field is ready right now to harvest. And we all are doing our best to do His work on the earth!
Another fun thing this week. our power shut off in the middle of the night (normal) so our ac was off and our house was maybe a miilion degrees. Elder Barlow woke up, and then heard me reciting the first vision in indonesian in my sleep, and after he woke me up, he said he has never heard me recite it so well before, with such good accent and intonation. Too bad its not that good all  the time.
Hey you are all awesome and i hope you have a solid week! Take care!
Love
Elder Hansen
