this week has been my best on the mission, and it has also been the worse.we hit 76 lessons this week and 14 at church and a bunch with a bapt date so i was pumped, but then i had the trip to the hosptial that was not good at all.
i sent some pics. they are of me and my friends and some ppl here in the mission.
so ill tell you some stories.
1) thursday we got one house and teach them nd give them a bapt date and its all good. they tell us the baby is sick so i get this feeling that we need to bless the baby. the feeling is so strong. we leave the house and are walking and i stop and tell my comp we need to go back and bless the baby. my comp says, "we can just do it on saturday when we see them again" so i ignore the feeling and we just go off to work again. saturday rolls around and we end 2 hrs away from our area (see story#2) and dont get home till 1030pm so we cant bless the baby. sunday the family does not show up at church so we leave church after 2nd hour and go bless the baby. the reason they couldnt come to church is cuz the baby was so sick. now the baby is fine. i learned a lesson the hard way. this familys bapt date moved cuz i didnt listent o the spirit. i was so sad when i found out why they couldnt come to church.
story #2
saturday starts off well, we are working up on the mountain and we have a really good day so far. 2pm rolls around and we get a text from one of the DLs in our zone who says his comp is way sick and is in the hospital. i text the mission pres wife and she tells me its no worry, its just a bunch of drama. the DL says he needs us to come see him and his comp and help them. i ask the mish pres wife and she says we can go there to check on things. when we get there the DL had rented a car and a driver to take him down to the hospital in the city, without even telling anyone. im on the phone with the APs and sister ho ching and we end up taking this elder to the hospital. he cant move, he cant talk, he seems bad off.
we get to the ER and he is the same. he is in pain and is sayin how much it hurts. they do xrays on him, blood tests, and take his blood pressure, then make us wait for the results. we are there all day waiting for him. at 9pm the APs call and tell me and my comp to leave the DL and his comp at the ER and we can go home. so thats what we do. 15 mins later we get a text that the elder has ben released.
tests dont lie!!! this elder had been faking it and his comp went along with it. we spent all day in the hospital for a headache. i was pretty upset. he had taken some medicine that he was not supposed to take so it made things worse. the blood tests xrays and blood pressure tests proved that it was all fake. so thats how my saturday was spent.
anyways other than that this week has been great. i love you all
