Hola Familia.
I think these have been the most emotionally crazy
emails I have received in my whole time here on the mission. Mom I want
to start out by telling you how awesome that story is of Kent's dad. I
fasted for him too this week and I hope that all gets better. I love
those stories and you are right that I get to see a lot of great stuff
like that happen here, but it awesome when it touches home. The gospel
really is powerful.
Kylie I also loved your letter and especially what basil said after
the game. It was an hilarious email. The screen shots of the cupcake
wars was awesome. I can just imagine now how cool the real show must
actually be. I am excited to see it.
Over here I think my weeks are just getting more and more stressing. I
don't know if it is because I know the end is coming or because of all
that is happening, but either way there is a lot of work. So like I told
you all last week my comp (Elder Tuck) has the chicken pox. Well he is
still in house with another missionary that has it. I was with another
elder for a couple days, but then guess what happens? HE THEN GOT THE
CHICKEN POX. Right now we have 4 missionaries in the zone with chicken
pox (we also have another missionary in the zone that has kidney stones
also). So we are getting like the plagues right now and it is totally
effecting us. right now I don't even have a comp. I sleep in the house
of some of the missionaries in the zone and during the day I leave with
whatever member I can find. I feel really blessed by the help of the
members. They have really come through. They started making us lunches
and dinners recently. So now we have a schedule of eating which is
sweet. I have gotten a lot of help from the RMś and the missionaries in
preparation that have left with me everyday.
It was just really stressful this week cause I had to do interviews,
take the nightly numbers alone, do all the meetings we have and take
care of my area and the area next to mine ( because both the
missionaries in that area have chicken pox). It has been super crazy and
in the end I saw very little in the progression of the zone and it is
pretty tough. The nurse says they will probably have another week in
house and that really scares me, but I will take on this challenge and I
know God will help me. I am going to have to depend a lot on the
members again and I feel like it is helping me to grow closer to them
(maybe annoy them haha).
I cannot believe we are already in June. That is so crazy and time
flies by so fast. I can't believe how close it is all coming. It will be
interesting to see if I stay here and end my mission in this area. I
believe I will and I really hope so.
Well I hope that everyone keeps feeling better. I hope Kristin is
doing better and that she can keep on going. I love you all and have a
great week. talk to you all next week.
