Moved into our new apartment!

Hey everyone!

Oh how wonderful it is to move into a new apartment. This story is incredible. I learned the principle of faith and works this week. We planned on a certain day to move in, but everything was going wrong. I continued to tell my companion, “ No, we will move today. Just have faith!” That day everything worked out in the absolute last minute, and I saw miracles happen to help us move into that house. Ward members helped us haul our stuff up two flights of stairs at night and everything worked out wonderful! I was so grateful for their help, and especially for the Lord´s help. When we have faith and works, the Lord blesses us!!
This week was full of moving, cleaning and organizing. We had to clean everything from our old house because it was full of rat leftovers and who knows what. My companion went crazy with the bleach and I’m pretty sure we don’t have a germ left in our new house. It feels so good to live in a bugless, clean house. Now I can actually cook! I will make cookies for everyone this week.
I haven´t been feeling well these past few days. I think I am getting sick because of the heat. I have felt like I have a fever constantly with an aching body- aghh! It’s really frustrating, but today I am doing better. Who knows, I have never experienced heat like this before! My body doesn’t know what do to!
I love you all and have a good week. I’m sorry I didn’t write much, but I will think of some fun things to say for next week. Have a wonderful week!

P.S. I received a pillowcase, with notes written on it, for Christmas from the ward- this week I will remember to take a photo and send it to you. I will write a letter for everyone to read, thanking people. It is really nice to know that people remember and care about us. I feel so loved!
It was so wonderful to receive my Christmas package- I got a lot of stuff this week! Thanks for everything you sent to me. I ate alfredo this week and was so happy. I have been sharing my sweets with people and I enjoy seeing their faces as they try food from America. It’s great! Thank you soo much!!!

Love, Sister Gordon
