December 6, 2016

Dear Fam,

Hey everyone! Life´s a ball here in Jardines de Ermita. Sorry I didn´t write yesterday, it was our monthly Leader Counsel so P-day is now today instead of yesterday. Rough, and Another P-day issue is that I won´t be writing you until next Friday. Why? Because that´s when we will have our Christmas party so P-day will be then not next Monday. And next monday in the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe which means, life is gonna be nuts anyway and nothing will be open. Yay for traditional holidays in Mexico! SO, don´t expect an email until next Friday. That´s all.

So, the world is now full of the "Lighting the World" program by the Church and it´s been really fun thus far. It´s called Ilumina El Mundo in spanish and it´s been super fun. Making an extra effort to do service has been really rewarding. We haven´t really kept with the program but we are doing service every day. For example, the 1st we went and painted a house as a district and it was really fun!!! We had a great time. And then yesterday, I did something I have never done before. We went to a less active´s house who is also a recent convert and her daughter had a makeup exam and need to finish her project on somebody´s face and that somebody ended up being me. Totally out of my comfort zone but worth it because the recent convert´s daughter and her husband which aren´t members now trust us and will be listening to us. So i´ll be sending a pic in this email to show you how it went. I mean it looks good but i am way happier in my own skin.

Speaking of individual worth, I feel like sometimes in life we decide that we aren´t worth much but i´m here to tell each and every one of you that actually we are worth a ton in Heavenly Father´s eyes. He sacrificed His Only Begotten Son so that you and I could have the chance to come back and live with Him forever. And He sends each and every one of us proof of who we are and what we are worth through other people. I´d like to invite all of you to recognize the worth of others by serving and doing the Lighting the World program. Please do it!

So, that´s all for this week. Enjoy the pics and serve diligently!
Love,

Hermana Hyer
