So I learned my lesson from last week and I won't be writing just a paragraph again anytime soon haha. We were playing about an hour and someone kicked the ball and it rebounded off the crossbar and smacked me right it the face. I went down and felt like my eye had gotten smashed in haha. I kept playing, but started seeing funny from my right eye and my head started hurting like crazy. After we finished playing, we headed back and Elder Garay wanted to stop somewhere to eat. I was feeling sick from my headache so I just asked for a milkshake. Elder Garay finished eating and went to pay and I stood up to grab my bag but starting feeling worse so I went to go sit down. I almost got to my seat when I felt everything coming back up and I puked all over the table haha at least there wasn't anyone else to see it in the restaurant, but the guy who made the milkshake gave me a pretty hard time haha. We got home and I collapsed on the bed and had to worst headache I've ever had in my life. So I learned my lesson for only writing a paragraph last week.
Other than that, life's been really good here. We went on unplanned divisions with two youth in the ward and found some really good new investigators, one of which we've been teaching almost every other day and has been progressing really well. She came to church this Sunday and basically bore her testimony in gospel principles class of her experience reading the Book of Mormon. Miracles!
Also, the bishop had asked me to give a talk on Sunday, but last minute the speaker showed up and I got bumped off the program. But it worked out because the gospel principles teacher didn't come so they put me to give the lesson and I just used my talk. It was a little tough because I had to stretch a ten minute talk into a half hour lesson, but I think it went over ok.
But I feel like I just got to give a quick push to everyone reading this to do something this week to support the missionaries. The members here are some of the most willing and dedicated I've ever met and it's been such a big help to the work here. So everyone think of something you can do and GO HELP THE MISSIONARIES. Even the smallest thing you can do makes all the difference. Members are the key to success in missionary work and when the members and missionaries work together, everything goes better and the success soars.
I love you guys a ton. Even though this has been one of my harder areas, I've never been happier and I've been able to see more and more the hand of the Lord in my life. Everyday there's something small that happens that reminds me who's really in charge here.
Love you all! Have a great week! Hope this was worth the wait haha.
