Dear Fam,
So this week has been LONG and awesome but definitely long.
Too many days straight. I´m writing so late because it was party time at 11
today as a mission so i´ve got to write afterwards, i.e. now. Cuz the party was
literally all day long. Sports and movies and fun. It was awesome. Lots of food
and we watched the new Star Wars movie! Not the one that came out yesterday,
the one that came out last Christmas. It was worth literally every second. I
was Really really happy with it. Totally a tear jerker with Hans and i almost
cried but it was awesome nonetheless. I will have to see it in English when I
get home because I didn´t catch everything but it´s good.
So the pics will explain my life as a missionary so I´ll
just describe what happened according to the pics.
Nevermind, just bullet points then And a short synopsis.
So, rundown of this
week´s happenings in no particular order,
1. FHE 15 people- we had a great time and helped our new
investigators find friends.
2. Ward Christmas party. frida and alex, singing christmas
carols Pics with everyone. - we found out that we are loved. frida and alex are
grand kids that may become our investigators, they really didn´t want us to
leave the party because they wanted to hang out with us.
3. Hulk hands- they are Alex´s and we took pics with them.
4. Intercambios ermita- with Hna Martinez and Hna Valdez
5. Wonder Kids- Our new amazing investigators, their names
are Luis (16) and Daniela (14). Their story is rough. The mom, who´s name is
Monica, was a less active that was married to a non member who died of brain
cancer a month or so ago and now she has decided to become active and the first
time we saw her she told us that she needs her kids baptized as soon as
possible. Amazing, the second week they go to church a member walks up and
asks, > Luis can you pass the sacrament? "i´m an investigator."
was his response. That day President teaches with us and says "those are
the most prepared kids i have ever seen" <Do you understand the
magnitude of that sentence? He taught hundreds of people on his mission and for
him to say that, means it´s a really big deal. He told us they can be baptized
whenever, so that´s next week. we made cookies with them and brought Dana and
she is now Daniela´s best friend. They are literally the best thing that has
ever happened to me on the mission and they were worth the whole wait of my
mission.
6. Guadalupe day- as a fun part of the week we came home
early sunday night because of guadalupe day. It was nuts because we got home at
5:30 and there were already drunk people outside and there were fireworks all
night long... Good stuff right?
7. How do you live without internet?- turns out, the new
generation of kids can´t imagine living without internet or Xbox. Dana, the
bishop´s daughter, has no idea what a board game is and i felt old and sad.
8. We acknowledge that the servant´s presence they don’t
know how to react.- Luis and Daniela have a cleaning lady and when we said hi
to her and presented ourselves, she didn´t know how to act. it was really funny
because her face was like. "Are they talking to me?" because nobody
does...
9. Lady from salt lake- So we had a shadow on tuesday this
week that came to all of our lessons and interviewed our investigators. It was
way fun. Her name is Angela and she is 25, served in Panama 7 years ago and
works for the Church Research section of the missionary program and came to do
a study on how the investigators are receiving the teachings in all the world.
Cool right? it was fun.
10. cleaning the pack rat room- We helped a sister clean out
her 8 year old daughters room of all the freaking toys and i realized how glad
i am that mom never allowed us to be pack rats. My word, that room is an
organized person’s nightmare. We worked for 2 hours and didn´t even get half
done. it was crazy and I learned a life lesson so it was worth it.
11. Chilaquiles drug us- so we ate some chilaquiles and they
made the both of us a little loopy. We have no idea why but that’s what it is.
12. expensive pizza- we got taken to pizza with real meat
on it and it was delicious.
So this week was a blast. You guys should check Hna Mecham´s
facebook to see some of the other stuff that went down during the party.
Love you all and I´ll be writing again on monday so we´ll
see you then!
Love,
Hermana Hyer
