Hey fam!
Glad to know everyone is doing well. Weird that it´s spring
over there but i would much rather have 50 degrees right now than the 80 that
it is here...
It’s hot and its only february.... I might come home a
roasted chicken by the end of this because technically it´s spring here at 80
as the high literally all week... I promise to send a photo at the end of the
week to see how much I´ve burned.
Anyways, let’s see, what to tell, what to tell. Well, it’s
been hot. We´ve been doing a lot of contacting. We still do lots of walking.
People are super surprised at how well i speak spanish. It´s super funny to me
when they try and speak english to me still. I still run around like I´ve got a
neon "WHITE GIRL" sign floating above my head constantly that seems
to draw a lot of attention. People seem to enjoy the fact that I like putting
my hair in two braids since I seem to be the only human here that does that
except those who come to sell their goods from the little pueblos and whatnot.
Let´s just say, i stick out like a sore thumb and I´m enjoying it.
This week we got to help in a baptism of the ward and talk
with their family and everything and it was really cool. They’re the Balsaldua
family and their little girl Andrea was getting baptized. We got to sing to her
"Because I have Been Given Mucho" to her in Spanish and it was really
cool. The reason why we sang her that song is because it describes the promises
we make at baptism. Mosiah 18 tells us that we promise to mourn with those that
mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort. Thinking about baptismal
covenants has caused me to ponder the following questions, "What am I
doing to help those in need?" "How can I more fully take the name of
my Savior upon me?" "What more can I do to be a blessing to
others?" I invite each of you to
ponder the covenants you´ve made and how you are staying true to them. I know
that as we continually search for ways to serve more and become more like
Christ that we will see the hand of our Heavenly Father more in our lives. I love
you all and hope you take my invitation to heart.
Lots o Love,
Hermana Hyer
