Semana 14

So guess what, Remember how I told you all that Hermana Chavez was my companion? Psych!!! She´s not my companion anymore as of an hour ago. I am now the new companion of Hermana Goulding from Arizona. Why? Because I am literally the only English speaking sister that is considered capable enough to take on a new challenge, i.e. teaching Spanish to my new companion. What happened was that Hermana Goulding was assigned to Hermana Sanchez who speaks no english, so their communication has been really really terrible, to the point that neither of them could handle it anymore and we had special transfers today. It´s all just so exciting. A new challenge at every front but the President thinks I can handle it so everything will be just fine.

This week was crazy too because we had a zone conference and intercambios with the sister training leaders and it was really great. I learned a whole bunch about how the mission field should be like and now am working to help my ward reach that level of effectiveness. I gotta say that all of this responsibility worried me at first but now everything is just fine. All I need to do is work my hardest and do my best and then the Lord will help me with the rest. My refuge from the scriptures this week was Doctrine and Covenants 127:4. It´s applied more to temples but I switched it around a bit to fit my new and exciting situation. I suggest that if any of you are struggling, to read it, cuz it´s awesome.

So, this week is Thanksgiving for you all and guess what? That holiday doesn´t exist here in Mexico. I hope you all have fun with all the cool traditions that we have as a family and I hope you will eat a whole lot of Dad´s chunky mashed potatoes for me (cuz i really miss them.) Please take lots of pictures for me so I can see the whole family having lots of fun. And eat honey baked ham, cuz it´s the best. And eat pie, cuz a real pie doesn´t exist here either.

Just remember that I love all of you and feel your prayers. Thanks for all the love and support!

Love,

Hermana Hyer

D&C 127:4

 And again, verily thus saith the Lord: Let the work of my temple, and all the works which I have appointed unto you, be continued on and not cease; and let your diligence, and your perseverance, and patience, and your works be redoubled, and you shall in nowise lose your reward, saith the Lord of Hosts. And if they persecute you, so persecuted they the prophets and righteous men that were before you. For all this there is a reward in heaven.
