Amor y Amistad

Dear Fam,

¡¡¡Feliz Dia de amor y amistad!!! Here in mexico they throw everybody into the mix and not just the couples. Pretty nice idea in my point of view, then they celebrate everyone and friendship too. Sweetness.

Super happy to hear that State went super well despite the diseases and sickness that`s been going around. Glad as well to hear from my cousin Jack and Kevin and Julie. The joy i get from reading everyones letters and seeing their attitudes and sass come out in them literally makes my day. Love you guys!!! As for Hermana Goulding, no she is not assigned to the mission office. What happened is that we had the awesome opportunity to play volleyball at the mission office last monday and she happened to be in the office when my package came. We are going to play today too and im super excited!!! So hopefully i`ll get to pick up my package this afternoon. 

SO, this week was interesting. We definitely have as long ways to go as a ward before we can be super functioning but that is just fine. Hard work is what i signed up for and hard work is what will be the most rewarding in the end. We did get to see a miracle this week. Well, two actually. This week we did a bunch of service and saw the miracle of the three inactives in the family come to church on Sunday. It was beautiful to see. I just hope they keep coming to church and read the Book of Mormon so that they can be fully active. We also had the opportunity to see a little nine year old accept baptism!!! We are reactivating a family and Nicolas the little boy has been receiving our lessons and yesterday he said he feels like he`s ready to be baptized. We asked him why and he said he`s been praying and after his prayers he feels happy and feels like it is the right thing to do! Super adorable and yet he spoke so much truth. I feel like sometimes we complicate how the Gospel is "supposed" to make us feel when in reality, the little kids describe it best of all. Also, his mom, Hermana Yescas, is an amazing mother and is on her track to being able to go to the temple again. She and I have a lot in common and I learn something new from her every time we visit. For example, last time we talked about how we need to be happy in our trials because that is how our Savior and Father in Heaven wants us to be. She shared that if we make goals to be happy and laugh every day we will find that we are enjoying life eve when it`s hard and that is completely true. I just love this new area so much!!!

Guess what? I still know the Gospel is true. But, as of now I know that it is even more true than I thought I did. Looking around at broken families and lives at every turn has helped me realize more and more that our Father in Heaven gave us the Gospel to protect us from the buffetings of the devil. His plan is perfect and His will is what will allow us to be the happiest we can be. I hope each of you look more fully for the will of Heavenly Father in your lives and I promise that even though it may seem hard at first, His ways will make you the happiest in the end.

Love,

Hermana Hyer
