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
