Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!
It’s okay to make Bowie references in
mission email titles, right?
Hey sweet Family!!
Well it’s been quite the week.
TOONNNNSSS has happened. I guess I’ll start from the beginning.
Monday
So I think I`ve mentioned a few times
that the dogs here are awful. Not just the Chihuahuas but ALL SONORAN DOGS.
While trying to leave an appointment in peace this monstrous animal that
supposedly was a dog but seemed to me to be one of those crazy bear/dog things
from Lord of the Rings... ya know, that bites off the face of that one guy?
Anyways, one of those BIT MY LEG!! It was so scary, but don`t be too worried, I
didn`t bleed at all. It just got pretty bruised. The mission life is pretty
crazy! :)
Wednesday
We got to go to the temple this day! It
was so wonderful and peaceful inside (one reason being there aren`t any psycho
dogs). Then later in the day we moved to a different house in our area, because
our area has changed a bit. The new house was sadly cockroach infested, :( but
on the bright side, I didn’t stay there too long (I`ll get to that part in a
second).
Gilda Baggins decided she didn`t want
to be baptized this week. No, her name’s not actually Gilda Baggins, I
just decided that she was a Baggins--I don’t know what`s up with the Lord of
the Rings this week. Anywho, her family is Catholic and told her that they
wouldn`t support her, so she’s having some struggles with that.
On Saturday I had the opportunity of
calling Mom and Dad for special circumstances. THAT WAS AWESOME OF COURSE! Hearing
their voices was kind of weird but made me feel super happy. It sound like they
played my message for the rest of the fam bam. I hope you could understand me.
Lots of love (and learning a new language) makes it hard to talk sometimes.
Later in the day I got to watch the General Women’s Conference although in
Spanish. I didn`t get all of the messages, but it made me super excited for
General Conference this weekend, which I`ll be able to watch in English!
Yesterday I left Hermosillo to be
transferred to a city that is right on the border of the US. The journey was
about 3 hours so I had some good time to read and sleep. :D
I am now in Nogales Mexico with
Hermana Blackmore from Canada. The climate here is a lot cooler and there are
hills everywhere. It`s really mild and pretty. I like it lots here. My new
companion is absolutely adorable!! She`s 20 and has just two months left on the
mission. She is super happy and has a really cute and contagious laugh. :)
She`s also a bit sassy, which is perfect because the people here can be a little
rough but she totally holds her ground. I’m really, really looking forward to
this time I’ll have with her.
We live at the tippy top of this hill
(carrying groceries is quite the work out) in a cute little house. However,
there are cats that live on our porch. We have to spray them away with water
every once in a while.
This change was a super blessing for
me. It’s kind of been like the first day of school. Also, I live WAY close to
the border so I think I might be able to find a way to send you letters. :)
I’m so looking forward to General
Conference this week. How sad that now we have three apostles that have passed
away, but it will be very interesting to see new men being called. I can’t wait
to hear what our Prophet has to say!
I hope all is well at home! I love
you all so much and you’re always in my prayers.
Con amor,
-Hermana Hauck
