Hi
family, no transfers.
I
am not too worried!! Just its a lot of time in the same place.
My
foot is still healing, there is still a little scab, but all is good. I am
worried because it hurts a lot, but I know it is because they didn't take the
stinking thing out! I will be fine I think, but it is a bummer a little bit. I definitely
do not want to operate on it or do anything more to it for that matter. I am
just going to stick it out a little bit on that front. At the end of everything, they didn't take
out the part that is bothering me, and so it is super logical that It is going
to keep bothering me for a little bit while I finish out my mission! I have a
lot of faith that I will be able to do what I need to out here without doing anything
more to my foot. But, sincerely thank you so much for your concern, I know that
it worries you guys a lot, but I think that I will be fine. I haven’t said
anything to president because it is really not something that interests me...
going to the hospital again::::)
And yeah, it is actually really really frusterating. I feel like
I have to muster up so much excitement to get through every day, and to just be
good. I feel like I am running everythign by myself, which is also hard. But, I
really don't want to be bitter, because that is ridiculous. I mean being upset
because they haven't changed me while i am on a misson?? That is crazy. And so,
I am really really good. I dont't want to be incontent for something as small
as this!! I really really want to push those feelings aside and work.
The
week was really hard, but lots and lots
of contacting. I felt horrible a couple nights ago (just like overwhelmed I
think with everything, because sometimes that happenes) and decided to call the
President and talk to him and really just let it all out. I sometimes feel like
I have to hold everything in. I just want to be a good missionary and have
success. But, what he said to me is that the Lord views success very
differently from us sometimes. We need to align our will with His and we will
feel true joy
Somethings that are so true here
1. It is literally only one transfer more. I think I can handle
it.
2. We decide how much we are going to learn with what He gives
to us.
Last night I truly felt badly because I wanted to be transferred,
not because I hate it here, but only because I know that I am not in align with
the will of The Lord. I am working on it though.
We have some new investigadors…
A
new investigator is named Betty. She is 20, and married. She wants to know more
about the church and accepted a baptismal date!! Wahoo. We met her because we
were with an hermana that went with us to visit one day and out of the blue
told us that she wanted to buy cheese (random...??) and so we said, “well if
you need to let’s stop at this little store.” So, we get out of the car and she
goes into the little store (and us as missionaries decided to take advantage of
the situation, contacted the lady at the desk...Betty) The hermana buying the
cheese asked if they had cheese, and said, :where I am, they make cheese from
scratch, and then sell it in the little stores”
This sister tried like 8 different cheeses and after every one, make
this awful face because she didn't like it or something. It was so
embarrassing. So that was the funniest
thing that happened this week I think. But the good thing is that we found a
new investigator through it!
