So, here´s the haps of the week.
First off, Monday of last week we had cake and ice cream after district meeting because it was the President´s birthday! Which was cool, i have to admit. He´s pretty awesome. The following morning I had an interview with him and it was really nice to speak some English for thirty minutes, well, more like hear it. He told me a bunch of stories about his mission and that he´s really impressed with how good my Spanish is in this small amount of time. That was really nice to hear. Looks like I´m doing pretty well!
Wednesday Hermana Escoto and I went to the temple to buy some new g´s for her cuz she´s basically worn out the ones she has. I was feeling a little weird that day and found out the next that it´s because I got sick. I got something they call "gripa" which is basically a nasty head cold and a sore throat combined. Stuffy nose and itchy throat made sleeping that night near impossible. But now I´m fine. I used some of my Alertec and whatnot but the drugs that they gave me here seemed to work better. I´m super grateful for the opportunity I had to be sick though cuz it gave Hermana Escoto an opportunity to serve me. Unfortunately for her, she caught this nasty bug and has been definitely worse off than I am. But she´s doing better as well so all is good.
Also, I hit my third month mark on Thursday and may I just say, I am super blessed to have some awesome sisters that I get to work with, laugh with, and basically have an awesome time with. They all pooled together a bit of cash and found for me a lovely little TMNT pillow and gave it to me on this occasion. Super thoughtful and kind! I love them lots.
I have also had the grand opportunity of doing some service while I´ve been out here. This week I whitewashed a garage door and changed a tire. Next week I´ll be cleaning some windows and painting part of a house. All of these activities are part of our efforts to unify our ward cuz they are not as much of a family as our ward at home. We´ll be bringing members to other member´s houses to serve in order to boost the dangerously low levels of love amongst the ward.
Speaking of service, I´d like to challenge each of you who end up reading this letter to find a way to serve somebody you know this week and then write me about it next week. I know that performing service helps each of us come closer to Christ and closer as a family of God´s children. So do it and get back to me alright? Thanks!
I love you all so much and I know that the Gospel truly blesses each of our lives in ways that we sometimes don´t see but that we definitely feel.
Until next week!
Love,
Hermana Hyer
