Hellooooo!
It was a really great
week. We had intercambios, we had lots of meetings, andddddddd I got the
flu. Hahah it was really bad. But first for the good stuff...
1- In our intercambior
( I went to the Hermana´s sector with Hermana Galeano from Paraguay) we were
walking at night and saw some guys trying to push a semi that was stuck in the
road. It was going nowhere and there were only 2 of them so we offered to
help. They told us no at first and as we started walking away they said
"bueno, si quieren". We started to push and it was so funny
because the semi immediately started moving and we got it out of the
intersection in like 20 seconds. They were staring at us so confused and
laughing. We were also sooo confused and laughing. Hahah God helps
his missionaries hahah.
2-One of our
investigators told us that after our lesson with him about the law of chastity
he decided never to come back to church. BUTTT then the branch president
ran into him and they had an interview. After that he told us that he
actually really does want to be baptized next week and he will do it out of his
love for God. That was a miracle.
Ok now for the sad
part. Hahah on Wednesday for our intercambio we all went to eat
lunch at an Hermanas house and her family had all just had the flu. The next
day I felt super weird but we kept working. That night we got to the
house and had to make cinnamon rolls for something and I kept wanting to pass
out. I felt awful. But in never crossed my mind that it could be
the flu. Anyway, the next thing I knew I was throwing up all night.
I thought maybe I had just eaten something bad, but then we called the Hermanas
and one of them was also super sick. The next day we did divisions and
the sick hermana came to stay with me. We had a lot of fun but we
diedddd. Our bodies hurt so bad and we just slept all day. That
continued until yesterday but now we are all good. Buttt we learned a
lesson about obedience.
On Saturday we
were so hungry but Hermana Isom told us we could only eat burned toast and
bananas. Anyway our companions went to lunch with some members and they
were eating completos. We asked them to bring some back and they told us
no, but we begged them. We decided we would save them and eat them when
we got better. They ended up bringing us completos later hahah.
While we were laying in bed hungry and bored we were just staring at the
completos. We decided that because they are mostly bread and because we
mostly felt better that we could at least eat like 2 bites. One thing
lead to another and the next thing we knew each of us had just eaten a whole
completo. It was sooo good but then we started feeling soooo sick again hahahah.
Our fever came back and we wanted to throw up again for the next 2 hours.
Anyway it was a good reminder of the commandments. Heavenly Father wants
us to be happy and for that he gives us commandments. Even though it may
look like its a restriction, its because it will help you have LASTING
happiness. Hermana Sobotka and I enjoyed those completos in the moment,
but then after we felt so crappy. Keep the commandments with exactness
and be happy!! I love you all!! Have a great week!
