I´m doubly jealous that you guys got some sweet mountain biking in this week. Oh how I miss riding my bike! It´s funny what you miss when you no longer have the option to do something. For right now I´m craving a nice bike ride or an hour in the pool but for now missionary work will keep me happy.
So, I finally received one of your packages, the one with the leggings and just in time too because it’s getting really cold again. And it´s not just me that´s getting cold. We had a run in with President Mecham yesterday and he and his wife were just as bundled up as I was. Sister Mecham even commented that she never thought she would get cold in Mexico. Me neither but it is what it is. Mexico City acts a lot like home. One day it´s scorching hot and the next it’s really cold. The thing that´s missing is the mountains. Cuz I have a really hard time knowing which direction is which without my mountains as a point of reference. I´m surrounded by cement, cement, and more cement, which doesn´t help me figure out where I am in the slightest. But I´m sure I´ll get it one day.
So this week, was the final week of our beloved Hermana Cordova. She left at 4AM this morning for her mission in Chiapas. Best of luck to her cuz it apparently is scorching hot there all of the time. Which I would not be able to handle all that well.
So, remember how I used to tell you guys about my investigators? Well, I´m learning that a lot of people reject the Gospel. These past couple of weeks have been basically one rejection after another until finally we have found some people who are more open to the Gospel. There’s a car shop that recently we have been spending a lot of time in. We have three investigators that are part of the same family but are all grown up so we teach them all separately. Plus in our spare time waiting for them to show up I paint the door of the garage and we teach more people that Hermano Martin (the boss who doesn´t want anything to do with the gospel) invites into the garage for us to teach. He´s basically a generator for new investigators and it´s such a blessing. So just know that amoungst all of the hard work that it is to be a missionary, we´re having some fun too. And that´s the way it´s supposed to be. Developing relationships with new people every day and getting to know them is super fun and bringing the Gospel into their lives is undoubtably the best part. I love my mission!
Thanks for all the continued love and support! You guys are the best!}
Love,
Hermana Hyer
