Dear Fam Fam,
It sounds like things are kind of exploding into all sorts
of different directions and stuff at home. I mean, Wow. Change in piano
teachers, new cars, Snowbird, blisters, school, new farm art at Grandma´s
house, cousins visiting form far far away, sounds to me like you guys are
having more of an adventure than I am! ;) Just Kidding. We´re probably equal.
So, life as a full time missionary is a little bit difficult
sometimes. Especially right now, because we don´t have a progressing
investigator. Apparently I have been sent to the most difficult part of my
mission for hermanas because people have a really hard time staying active in
the Gospel or having any desire to change... However! I refuse to give up hope
because I know that with the Lord I can to anything! Even change stubborn
people´s hearts.
So, a couple more details about my life here in Mexico. We
live in a little apartment in an area called Educacion. We have four little
rooms, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a common room / office and our little bedroom.
Every morning to take a hot shower I get the opportunity to light the burner
and wait a little bit before turning up the gas. We have a baby portable stove
that I cook my eggs and tortillas that I eat for breakfast. And every Monday
after we wash our clothes we climb the staircase to the roof and hang our
clothes insideout on it to dry. In order to email we go to the local internet
cafe and write for an hour. If we want to buy anything we visit any of the
hundreds of little tiendas lined at every street. It´s quite fun actually!
This week I got the opportunity to go to the Mexico City
temple open house and it was nuts. Like absolutely crazy. You would not believe
how many people were there! They had guides and separated our ward into groups
probably three different times. You strolled through the temple, no stopping,
and before they had people put silly little booties over your shoes. Regardless
of the weirdness of the procession it was beautiful, absolutely beautiful!
And!!! We managed to get the Ortegas (a family that is super inactive) to come!
and they had a wonderful time!
I´ve been seeing so many miracles while I´ve been here! One
of those has been my health. So I assume I ate something bad because yesterday
was awful health wise. I ached and was woozy and had a hard time eating
yesterday. So I got a blessing from my district leader. At first, it didn´t help
much. But later I was at home and was praying fervently for health so that I
could continue to work and be an instrument in the hands of the Lord and as soon
as I finished praying the pain significantly diminished and I was able to sleep
and I woke up today feeling much better! It was so awesome! And I know that it
was a blessing from the Lord! The Gospel is true and the power is real!
Next time I´ll give you guys a rundown of what a typical day
for us looks like but for now I´ve got to leave you with this! Thank you for
the workouts, the updates and the prayers! I love you all so much!!!
Lots of Love!!!
Hermana Hyer
