Slaying Mexicans with cookies

Dear Fam,

Hey! Glad to hear that all is going well. For me, it´s actually cold and rainy right now. My body´s not used to being cold in June! The buckets of rain we have received prompted me to buy a new umbrella because mine is broken. but anyways, life is good here in Padierna.

So as for the title, this week we made cookies for our big open house activity at the church on Saturday. It was great. We made a whole bunch of them. And they turned out great. Everyone loved them and it was nice to eat something that reminded me of my mother USA. Yeah, I´m starting to miss some of the food from back home. I need to get my hands on some good BBQ sauce but that´s a hard thing to find out here. Whateve´s. I´ll be fine. Back to the cookies, they turned out awesome. everyone loved them and life is good. Our open house was super fun and I got to lead groups of people around as they explained what we do in church. And I learned something new. The High priests are in charge of taking care of the widows, family history work, and helping the members prepare to enter the temple. My whole life I had no idea what they do but now i do. Super cool! We didn´t end up having a whole lot of investigators come but all in all it turned out great.

So, we have an investigator who in about two weeks will be getting baptized. His name is Luis and he´s amazing. So the first time we met him after the sisters had passed him over to us we learned that while he works he listens to the book of mormon and was in Mormon 5 two weeks ago. Now he´s finished, started over, and super committed to being baptized and everything. He considers himself to be a member already and it brings joy to my heart to see him grow and learn. He has a thirst for the gospel that is truly inspiring and I consider it a privilege that we get to teach him.

Can i just say, I love being a missionary!!!!
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,

Hermana Hyer
