Stomach Bugs R' Us, Achievement Unlocked: The Bigger Missionary, RCLA's
Well this past week was pretty crazy and was gone in an instant so
here I am waiting for the next PDay to arrive since I can't as much
look up from the floor before the week has been pulled out from under
me. So let's take a look at this past week shall we?
Elder Litton and I spent our last Pday giving Mike (my
reactivation who's gone less active again :P) a blessing for his
health before he airbrushed Elder Litton a T-Shirt with Calvin and
Hobbs on it which was pretty amazing. I'll have to send Ya some photos
today since we aren't scrambling everywhere ;). We then went to
Brandons for a warm goodbye before going to Danas and signing
Elder Litton out with a Pizza Pretzel and a thing of cookie dough ice
cream.
Never again will I get Hershey's ice cream, I do believe XP. Mostly due
to the fact that the next morning which was transfers I woke up at
about three in the morning puking. It was just a stomach bug but
Hershey's ice cream was just ok at the same time. Well after having
probably the worst morning of the mission throwing up from three till
about seven I finally allowed myself to receive a blessing. Which is
exactly what I needed.
Stomach warbley all day but after getting home with the new Comp I took
a power doze of twenty minutes and I made sure we stayed as busy as we
could while yet taking it easy. I think I had a piece of toast and one
banana that entire day which was weird cause I thought I woulda
starved haha. My new companion is Elder Cornelius from Monroe Utah.
He's been out about 4 and a half months, is eighteen, and is probably
the most quiet companion I've had yet lol. So for the first time I'm
the senior companion (means nothing :P) and my goal is to crack this
guy open lol.
He's a good guy just quiet ;). So let's just say that his first night,
for the first time Jenn invited us over to give her a blessing, which
is really cool since she is the one who invited us over rather than us
asking her :).
She has Pneumonia so we went in and got out as soon as possible but she
was super happy that we were able to come and do that for her. The
rest of the week blew by so quick I'm not even sure how to describe
it. We had two lessons with the Layton/Brown family which went so good
these past two times that we were able to get them out to stake
conference! Shared Christoffersons talk, "free to act for themselves", as
well as the restoration where we got Pam sniffly since that's what got
her into the church.
With Mike we came back and helped him in his basement, cleaning. Sadly
it wasn't or ever will be the grossest service I've done on the
mission but we filled three contractor bags full of junk and dog poop
it was just plain nasty XP....
He bought us lunch though and asked for a lesson so we went in and
talked about missionary work. Mainly talking about what we can do for
Dana since missionaries have really only ever read the B.o.M. With
her. Learned some thing we needed to but I'm still a bit lost on what
to do Ya know? Need some direction.
Thursday night we had a really special lesson with Stephanie. She
found out just a few days before that she will probably lose her eye
sight within the coming years, due to the aneurism she had in 2009 :(.
We had a really good lesson with her about faith and how she will more
than likely be the reason for the rest of her family joining the
gospel. Elder Cornelius gave her a blessing of comfort so she should
be good :).
Friday night we tried to go to brother Tabers to learn how to do
family history work. It kinda ended up in a bust since he only wanted
to teach us how to do the paper version ):/. So we asked Elder Bevans
our new district leader if he could teach us the next day which he
did.
Saturday Cornelius woke up feeling sick but we still went to football.
When we got home he told me to take first shower since he needed to
lay down a minute. Well that minute was pretty long haha but I'm not
going to complain cause afterwards he started throwing up so he needed
the rest :P. We still went and did family history with Bevans but we
didn't go to the adult session of Stake conference for obvious
reasons. I made thank you cards in the mean time.
Sunday we had Stake Conference which was good. Helped Brandon with
some scriptural references before hand with his talk and then
afterwards waited for an hour for a guy, the spanish elders found, who
then never showed up :/. So we went home. Finished thank you cards and
I made funfetti cookies to go with them. Went and delivered to Jen who
is doing a lot better but I'm not to sure what was going on with her
house but after we left I was starting to itch like none other. Had
dinner at Mike and Danas which was good though most of the meat loaf
didn't cook through so it was really pink XP. By the time we got home
it was ridiculous so I took a shower which kinda helped. Not to sure
what got me but I had hives :/. Never had that before and I'd like to
stay away from it Ya know? It was weird.
