Sorry
it has been so long since I have written.
But do not fear, I have stories for you.
First, the temple in Mexico City is being rededicated, so right now they
are holding the open house. Hermana
Guerber and I were able to go twice with investigators. They were very impressed by its beauty and
took lots of pictures of the outside.
Because it’s in Mexico, the temple has a lot of cool Aztec designs. My favorite room was the sealing room because
everything was white and bright. Last
week my comp and I, and our zone leaders went to visit a hospital where about
15 leper patients are living. We visited
with about 5 of them and sang them hymns. They loved it and one of them tried to sing
the hymn back to us! It was a special
experience. We have washed 4 dogs in the
last 2 weeks, doing service. I am really
overcoming my fear of dogs. These past
few weeks Hermana Gruber and I have started every lesson with singing a
hymn. Our voices fit together quite
nicely and we have had a lot of spiritual experiences in our lessons through
music. One of our less actives was
crying when we sang, “I Need Thee Every Hour.”
Hermana Guerber goes home tomorrow so these past few days have been
almost all food appointments because everyone wants to feed her before she goes
home … and give her things, which has been great for me! I have met a lot of really sweet
families. I gave a talk about missionary
work in sacrament meeting. My health
little by little is improving, and by the end of my meds I should be rid of all
evil. “Adversity teaches us things we
cannot learn otherwise. Adversity helps
to develop a depth of character that comes in no other way…. We can learn wisdom, become stronger and
experience joy.” –Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf
