I Hit Him In The Head

hey everyone,

well this week has had some great things happen.

baptism #5 and the 3rd one i have been able to do the dunking.  i bust it out in perfect tagalog, and the crowed goes wild over that.

i was called out of sacrament meeting by an emergency phone call from my zone leader telling me he is coming to pick me up from church cuz we have emergency exchanges.  i thought i was in trouble for something, or something bad happened at home, i didnt know what to think.  he got there and told me that nothing happened, his companion was invited to a special meeting in the mission home for Tongans.  my ZL wanted me to work with him for the day cuz he likes me a lot.

i hit a guy in the head this morning.  we were playing basketball with some ppl and this older guy was against us and decided he wants to guard me.  when i take the ball out he swats at me and always hits my hands, and calls fouls left and right, basically he was a baby.  anyways he does the swat at my hands and so i take the ball and hit him in the head with it.  he stumbles around a little, so i think i rang hit bell.  and then he calls a foul on that so i give him the ball and laugh.  my zone mates were laughing too.

ill repent of that later tonight.

yesterday i was so sick.  i got home from district meeting and i dont feel good, but i go to work, i work all day and my companion asked me about every 5 mins if i wanted to go home (cuz he doesnt like to work), but i keep going.  9pm we are outside our house, and call the Zls so they know we are home safe, and i finally stop fighting it and puke all over.  then i felt better until i got inside, and had the hershey squirts.  then i felt better again.   i got into bed and past out for about 20 mins,  then woke up with a splitting headache.  i prayed so manby times for help,i tried throwing up again, but i didnt need to, i tried drinking water, but that didnt help, so i was up all night tossing and turning, hitting my head into the wall, but nothing helped.  i got on my knees and begged for help.  i was finally able to get to sleep at about 2am, but then it came back.  at 6 i got up and got dressed for our service project, and here i am, dead tired with my head ready to explode, but Jesus Christs gave His life for me,  ill do the most, not the least, i can to repay Him.

well, thats my week.  thanks for all your love and your letters and prayers.
