¡Estamos
embarazados! ¡Es un niño!
I
know this one looks like it’s a really long letter, but I promise it’s worth
it. Because I never write long ones.
Well
this week has been an adventure. To start off, we had interviews with our
president and it was kinda weird because it was over video chat. But not too
bad. During my interview he told me he was thinking about having Elder Murdock
and I train next transfer, but that he was going to think about it. Then Elder
Murdock had his interview, came out of his after 2 minutes and said “We’re
going to train!” So he and I will be staying together a 3rd transfer and will
be trio training.
Second
thing, last Thursday we had zone conference and it was probably the most
spiritual one I’ve been to yet. Just every scripture that was shared really hit
me hard, we talked a ton about the power of just one scripture from the Book of
Mormon. During this meeting we found out that next transfer our mission will be
transitioning from tablets to smartphones. So from now on, new missionaries
will have smartphones, but I get to keep my iPad and use a loaner smartphone.
Side note, during interviews, President also asked if I could be the technical
ap for the mission. Basically if anyone has issues or questions about the
smartphones, they will call me. So thanks dad for making me tech savvy.
Then
on Monday, we got a referral from the buena vista sisters that actually seemed
really promising, because he responded back to us when we contacted him and
gave us an address to come to. That never happens. So we drove up to
Millersville, which is a pretty small town that I don’t really think many
spanish live in. And the address takes us to this huge 400 trailer, trailer
park. And it’s almost 100% hispanics. So we are definitely going to go whack
some bush next Thursday there for the newbies first day:)
And
last but not least! I’m now a couple ounces lighter! So Tuesday we always do
service at the bishops storehouse here, and then we usually go straight from
there to Javier’s with a member who also helps at the storehouse. So that’s the
set up for this story. About 2 pm, still while we are at the storehouse, I
start getting pain in my right side stomach. And so I just assumed it was
hunger like usual because we work really hard at the storehouse. So I keep
working, an hour or so later we drive home and get ready to head over to
Javier’s at 4. We meet the member there and have a great lesson with him. We
sang a hymn and taught him how to listen to Motab and such. Ended up being an
hour and a half lesson. And this point I’ve got much more pain in my side. So
we all go out to eat at this really nice Japanese restaurant, it’s way good and
I ate a bunch. Thought that would help the side ache. Then the second I sat
down in the car the pain was the worst it had been. So we tried some things to
lesson the pain and I just tried to sleep it off. Wasn’t the best nights sleep,
but I made it till 630 then called the mission nurse because I had my
suspicions at that point. She tells me to go to the er and get checked for
appendicitis. And it was! So I got to have surgery and stay at the hospital
overnight. Which is why this is coming out so late. But one plus is I got to
talk to my parents a few times. Now I’m laying in my own bed, and get to lay
here for a couple days. Yay!
Love
y’all!
