This week was one of those weeks that I am going to
squeeze out of my brain so I never remember it ever again! It's already
half squeezed out of my brain so I will try to suck it back in for a
few mins....
My companion was in a car accident before her mission and
she has had back pain ever since. We have been to multiple doctors,
the chiropractor a few times, and the doctors are stumped. Nothing is
helping her. They think it's a good idea to keep giving her drugs,
which has NOT been a good idea! She is on a few muscle relaxers so she
is ALWAYS tired and ALWAYS grumpy. I'm trying to be patient but
obviously I am a natural man and an enemy to God! haha. I had to clean
our whole apartment by myself this morning because she was too tired.
I usually give all the lessons and do all the records too because she
is just not all there most of the time. I super love her but this is
really taking a toll on me. We have been talking to President because I
think she needs to go home. I don't want another companion of hers to
have to go through this too and I really want her to get the help she
needs back home. We will see!
Transfer calls are this Saturday so that will be
exciting!!!! I have a feeling I am leaving Twin Falls:( I would love
to stay here but I would love to go somewhere else too. I just love
being so close to the mission office and there are tons of missionaries
here in Twin so it's super fun. I'm also scared if they send me to a
hick town I will loose my identity and just become a hick:) Which has
already started to happen!!!! haha.
I have been going on splits with this girl Makala
who is going on her mission to Texas in a few months. I love her!!!
She always laughs at me because she thinks I am so crazy! I didn't
even realize how weird I am because my companion is used to me, but she
points out these things that I do and I realized how crazy I am. We
went to this families how who is less active and knocked on their door.
A 14 yr old girl answered and we just talked for a while. This car
drove up and I asked her who it was. She said it was her 17 yr old
brother Chase and his friend. Something crazy inside me happens and
when he opens the car do I go..."CHASSEEE!!!!!!! WEELLCCOOMMEE
HOOMMEE!!!!!" hahah his face was priceless. HE comes to the door and
shakes my hand and I tell him he smells soooo good. Then he looks at me
weird and is like, "who are you?" hahaha. Don't worry, we became
friends. He doesn't believe in God...but HE WILL! I guess I just have
no boundaries out here. We go into strangers houses and they spill
their lives sins to us for heavens sake. It is very weird and
wonderful.
Two nights ago we were trying to contact because we
didn't have an appointment and NO ONE would answer their door! There
was some football game going on or something, and it was homecoming for
Twin Falls High School. We went to the park to walk around because we
were so sad haha. We found this tree and I climbed all the way to the
top of it! (I still have no idea how to rotate pictures in blogger-sorry-Whitney)
It was a huge tree!!!! That made us not sad anymore.
It was a huge tree!!!! That made us not sad anymore.
Last night on our way home we heart attacked our
bishops door. It was like I was in my old life again because we had to
sneak around so we wouldn't get caught by him. The dogs were chasing us
and the family was in the front room...haha it was quite an
adventure!!!!
Me and Sister Denkers are having a girls day today.
We are going to go down Main Street and look at the shops and try and
find some warm clothes. It is COLD DOWN HERE!
This
morning, during companionship study, Denkers was asleep so I decided to
watch the Testaments. I have watched it multiple times before but for
some reason this morning it had a huge affect on me. It makes the Book
of Mormon come to life and reality of our Savior come to life. Most of
us have a belief in Christ and that He came to the earth and died for us
and visited the Americas, but there are few of us who actually KNOW of
Christ. I have been pondering this all week. I do believe in Christ
but I want to say that I KNOW Christ. That I have no doubt in my mind
that He is real. I think once we get to that point, is when the
blessing are poured upon us.
I love love love love and miss my family and friends!!!!!
