Hello Reality

Dear Fam,

Hey everyone! Hope life is great and home and i hope you stuffed your faces for me. Cuz, thanksgiving doesn´t exist here in mexico so we just taught people about it and made hand turkeys about how we can show our Heavenly Father that we are grateful through our daily actions.

So me and my companion are having sooooo much fun here in Jardines. We are working so hard to make our part of the goal of 100 Baptisms and it´s been rough but we´ve seen miracles through our efforts. We´ve seen people progress that we were sure that weren’t going to and we´ve been able to help families come back to church. One thing that´s really cool is that Hermana Gifford has already served here in Jardines and it was for 6 months so it´s a miracle that she´s come back here to help me out. She was here for 6 months and then went to bosques for 6 months and now is back here. One year and two areas. It´s way rare that something like that happens. But we are soooo happy here.

But, reality check, I have basically no time left to have fun in the mission and in mexico. It really hit me this week how short our service to the Lord really is as missionaries. However, how truly worth it it is to serve. I have learned so many things and been able to help so many people that otherwise i would not have met or served. My whole perspective on life has changed and my relationship with myself and with the Lord is completely different. How blessed I am to have this opportunity and i hope and pray that Others will understand the greatness of the calling and choose to serve.

Life´s great! And I´m loving life and the people here in mexico as a servant of Lord.

Love you all! 

Hermana Hyer
