This week was good for us, nothing miraculous happened sadly. We have4 baptisms planned for this month so hopefully I’ll get to see them. Another 6weeks has gone by so changes are this Wednesday and we won’t know until tomorrow night if we have changes. I hope we don’t but if I do ill have a new adventure ahead of me. It’s been really hot here and the bad thing is we can’t get away from it! No one has air conditioners so were sweating 24/7! I bet you can imagine how dirty the collar of my shirts are, ya they are gross. I hate the feeling of a wet collar, it really bugs me and I can’t wait to have normal shirt but it’s just one of those things we have to get used to. Well that’s about it for me this week, sad huh? Our investigators are progressing thankfully and we have people to teach! This area is way better than when we found it. Just the cutest thing ever, were teaching this little girl that is going to be baptized in two weeks and we asked her if she needed anything from us and she said yes I just want you two to keep doing what you’re doing, being really good missionaries. Wow this melted my heart, it was the cutest thing ever!

Dear Sister Herman,

Praying all is well with you. 

We had all the missionaries fill out a getting to know you form.  Elder Herman's answers were touching to me.  I thought you might enjoy reading a few.

Why did you decide to come on a mission?  I decided to come on a mission because it is one of our responsibilities as Priesthood holders. Also, it is like a tithing on my life, I’m giving 10% of what God has blessed me with in my life, 2 years. I love serving the lord! There’s more also :) 

Who is one of your heroes? My father has been. He has raised me to be who I am today; although I have a lot to improve I am who I am because of him and my mother. He is my hero. Words can’t describe what he has done for me.

Something that your mom would be proud of:  Before my mission I always took my mom out on dates. That was so fun;  I miss those times a lot. Me and my mom and dad got really close before I went to college, I was the last one in the house so we did everything together.                                                                                                         

 

What are some of your best attributes:  I care about everyone, my P. Blessing says that I have been blessed with the ability to seek out people who don’t feel like they fit in and make them feel good. I try to do this! I’m usually happy ha only when I’m not being selfish!

Elder Herman has grown tremendously.  His attitude is so positive and his faith is incredible.  We feel blessed to know the Herman family.  Thank you for your examples.  May God bless and lift you through the difficult times.  May He increase and magnify the happy times for you and all those dear to you.

Sincerely, Hermana Glazier
