I am happy to see that y'all are doing well. I bet the
long weekend probably helped. This week has been a little rough for me.
I crashed my bike on Wednesday morning. I had to then ride my bike
home with unaligned handle bars and a swollen ankle. By the time I got
home (wasn't too far) I couldn't walk on it. As far as I can tell since I
never went to a specialist, I sprained my ankle. Luckily we have some
doctors/nurses in the ward who were able to take a look at it. The
mission president's wife told me to get up and walk on it as soon as possible.
I felt like she had done as Christ did when he told the lame man at the pool of
Bethesda to take up his bed and walk. And that is what I did. I used
crutches and a cane for a while, but after about two days I could walk and ride
my bike without pain. So that is awesome.
Then Sister Wahlen and I
both came down with a stomach bug Saturday night and felt terrible all Sunday.
I think that I slept for most the day. Had to force myself to not
go back to sleep after about 4 so that I could sleep at night. Feeling
way better today except for a persisting headache which I think is due to
dehydration. So I am drinking lots of water!
We did manage to have some good teaching experiences this week though! We taught a guy named Mark, whom we have been trying to get an appointment with for almost a month. He said that ever since we had been knocking on his door he and his wife had been thinking more about religion. He even said that we weren't bothering him with all of our stopping by, which was a big relief. He is a bartender, but is fixing to get a new job. We are very supportive of that and I gave him a card for LDSjobs. We are excited to continue to help him make positive changes in his life through coming closer to Christ.
We also met a guy named Miguel who has so many questions, the majority of which can be answered by the plan of salvation. We have an appointment to see him next week and can't wait!
We have had a few trials this week, but there is no
miracle until after the trial of our faith! So we are looking forward to
the miracles that will be coming our way soon.
