Well hello there from the
bountiful dead grass fields of the sweltering Sahara of our little city (holy cow that
pool across the street is taunting me!).
Day 1: No house
Day 2: No light....and
for many days after
Day 3: No air (and
literally my comp can’t breathe! We think she’s allergic to Morelos...she’s
still super clogged and sick)
Day 4: Random Guests
Stayed home because my comp had a fever and still couldn’t breathe. I
took the time to organize our three area books into one area book with all the
antiguo investigators organized into colonies and then in alphabetical
order....yup I’m crazy, but organizing always helps me to de-stress! While I
was lost in a maze of over 600 registros there was a knock at the door (odd because
we know literally nobody). I opened it to see a woman and three children
standing at my door. Ummm, I didn’t order Girl Scout cookies.... But then
I saw the little old man in the back and I started straight up laughing.
Safe to say we’ve been found, again, by the Garcia family. I have to say
that President was all but asking for that to happen when he sent us to an area
20 minutes away from Garcia’s grandparents’ home...and into a ward where her
grandpa was branch president way back in the day and her father served as high
council men. So I woke up my sick companion to let her know that her
aunt, cousins, and grandparents were outside our door, only to come back down
the stairs to find them in our house....this is so illegal (highlight of the week!)
Day 5: Sunburnt, fasting,
and crazy lost....lucky all the cambi drivers had pity on us and gave us free
rides
Day 6-7: The sweet relief
of general conference!!!!!!!!!
We
basically lived in the stake center all weekend watching the conference in English
(so we could hear their real voices) with all the American elders and then
quickly changing the station to Spanish during the last session for the Latino
speakers. If there are two HUGE things we can pull out of conference it’s
the importance of the family and of personal conversion. I think the
greatest part about conference is receiving answers to all the little things we
need to hear. I’m grateful for the opportunity that we have to hope in
the powers and redeeming life of Christ! I know that He lives and has made the
pathway possible to return to our Heavenly Home. I know that I can never
thank Him for the price that He paid for me but it’s truly a blessing that I
can show my appreciation for everyday as I remember to apply it!
With an abundance of
Love,
Hermana Neuberger
