Well this week, I died.....and was brought back.........with
medicine........ Well to start off I have really bad allergies to nature (more
like the country) and it has been killing me. I then got sick because of it and
I'm on the recovering end of it. But anyways, this week has been a trial of
not appearing sick to everyone and taking a lot of allergy medicine. On Tuesday
is we had inspections and it was awesome!! Our place was the cleanest and they
loved it!! It was great to hear that from the mission. We then went on some
visits, but wasn't as successful. So we ended up just doing service. It was
pretty fun doing some service cause we got a lot of it done. We then had dinner
and then did some contacting. Tuesday my voice was a little shot, but I tried
to still make it out. On Wednesday it was all just service. It was crazy good!!
We then had dinner and a really good lesson after our dinner. We then did a
hike to meet with the youth and talk about the Aaronic Priesthood and then
answered some of their questions that they had. It was really awesome! Thursday
is when I got hit the most. I woke up and I was just dead. I couldn't move and
I was soo cold I just laid with my blanket on the couch dressed in my
proselyting clothes. That day we only did one thing and that was just let me
get better. We had one appointment that I didn't want to miss or cancel so we
went out and met with Agustin. It was crazy cause when we got there he told us
that he was worried about me. He remembered how bad my allergies were and was
making sure I was alright. He is so awesome and it has been awesome getting to
know him. On Friday I finally called the mission nurse and told her all that
has been going wrong with me and she told me to get medicine right away. So I
got medicine started taking it and was slowly getting better. I still am pretty
bad right now, but I am doing a lot better cause I can at least get out of bed
without a problem. We then did some more service and went contacting
afterwards. We met a really nice family and got to talk with them and get to
know them and for sure we'll be going back. We then had a really good lesson
that night with two investigator families and it was awesome and spiritual. You
could definitely feel the spirit in both lessons. The first one we did with
members present cause they are really good friends with the family that wants
to start learning the Gospel. We were talking and their daughter got her
mission call to serve in my home mission!! The mission of Rancho Cucamonga
mission!! I was so excited when she had said that cause I was just surprised
how coincidental that is. The family then arrived and we had a good lesson
about the Restoration and wow the spirit was definitely there as we bore our
testimony and the members bore their testimony's of the Restoration. It was
quite powerful. We then had a really great following lesson with an Hispanic
family and it was really great. We talked about the Book of Mormon and the
importance of it. It was a really great lesson. On Saturday we did even more
service and we got crazy. It was pretty fun. But we were freezing cause it
dipped back down to cold weather. We then tried some families, but no one was
home. So we got our Skype set up with a family and a dinner as well which was
awesome. The Sunday came around and we had really good talks about Mother's Day
and it was pretty awesome to hear all the talks to later talk with our moms!!
We then got to talk with our families and it was awesome!!! I really miss them,
but the time will fly by. And I'll be home. For now, my mind and heart are here
to help the people I serve. As the great story found in Chapter 18 of Alma
shows, when we serve others, they will come to know for themselves of the
truthfulness of the Gospel. I love you all and I hope your week is awesome. I
sign out for now and hope to hear from you soon!!
