1st Letter from the MTC

Family and Friends, 
The MTC is great! I feel like I am on spiritual overload. I think the amount of times I have prayed in the past two days equals the amount of prayers I give within a month or two. Seriously, there is one in the morning, one to bless breakfast, one before personal study and one after, then one before companion study and one after, then one for lunch, and one for class, then 4 during class, and one after, and so on! It is so great though! I feel like I can really personal communicate with my Heavenly Father and receive any answers I might need and calm my overwhelmed heart!

Yesterday we were told about the investigator my companions and I will be teaching, and wow I already love her so much! Her name is Rose and she has had it rough and is continually burdened with other peoples cares, so during companion study we prayed to know what we should tell Rose so that she may feel of the love her Father in Heaven has for her, and it is amazing to see that me and my two companions immediately turned to the same gospel principle in PMG. Wow. Prayer. We teach her later today and update you on how the lesson went I was so nervous about the thought of it, but now I am overjoyed at the thought of official meeting her and getting to share my testimony.
I should probably tell you about my compainions, I love them! We are a "tripanionship" so basically there are 3 of us. I was definitely concerned about the logistics of 3 sisters in one group. Emotions were sure to run high, but not here. Sister Mafi is from Tonga and she has such an inviting personality so even though we are very different, I can't help but to love her! Sister Parcell is HILARIOUS, honestly so funny. I think she is very good at lightening the mood when the time is right but she is a spiritual powerhouse! I just hope I am bringing something to the group. 

My teachers are so great they really help me to know what i need to do to be an effective missionary and are so intuitive to how I am feeling and the words in which they need to say to me. Honestly I think I will be sad to leave, however I am not done yet so we will see what the rest of my stay here brings! Things have been going so great here though and I am thankful everyday for this opportunity I have to serve. I cannot wait to be with the people of the Singapore Mission in just 10 DAYS, wow! I already love them so much! My P-day here in the MTC is Friday so family write me e-mails and send me letters! I am making my way through the letters you wrote me and I am overwhelmed with the love I feel, and will write you guys back as I read them!

Love you and miss you all more than I can say,
Sister Hansen

P.S.
hopefully i will take and upload some pictures next week, there is seriously no time to snap pics!
