My fate has been decided and I get to stay here in Educacion
with my missionary mom Hermana Escoto. What a relief! Because of some of the
things that have unfolded this week I am so glad and now understand why certain
things happened before I arrived here in Mexico and why I needed to have
Hermana Escoto as my trainer.
Reason numero uno has to do with a lovely situation that
happened to me at college. Remember how I twisted my ankle? Well as I remember
it, it happened for literally no reason. I was just running. Nobody touched me,
pushed me, was anywhere near me or anything. It just happened. Well, I am here
to tell you that I have discovered the reason I needed to twist my ankle. It´s
because my lovely trainer Hermana Escoto twisted hers this past Thursday and I
know how to take care of it. That is the reason I needed to have that happen to
me: so I could help somebody else. I´m finding that that is the reason that
many trials happen in my life, it´s so I can be prepared to help others through
theirs.
So Thursday she twisted her ankle, Friday we went to the
doctor and found out that she had indeed twisted her ankle. We also had an
activity as a ward where we watched Meet the Mormons and it was great because
two of our investigators came and the inactive that we have been teaching came
too. It was great!
So Hermana Escoto can´t walk a whole lot so we´ve been
taking it a little bit easier these past5 couple of days and it´s working out
well. My only fear is that one of these days her foot will say "no
more" while we are in the middle of our area with no one to help us out.
But I know that the Lord takes care of us and so that´s not going to happen.
I´m pretty sure I´ll forget how to walk fast by the end of this though... Just
kidding. We´ll be just fine.
So I did get to watch Women´s conference and it was really
interesting to see in Spanish. The hymns are all in english. They don´t change
the lyrics to spanish for us and to hear everything in spanish is a bit weird.
I miss hearing Uchdorf´s voice for real but it´s cool to see how much I
understand in Spanish. I´m doing pretty great at translating all of my notes
and such into spanish too. It´s an adventure!
A mission is an adventure, that´s for sure but I know that
I´m here to help everyone come unto Christ. The Gospel is true and the love of
our Heavenly Father is real!
I love you guys!
Hermana Hyer
