Hey everyone,
yeah this last week was alright, we got a lot done actually. we have
some baptisms this saturday also so im excited for that, as well as
general conference. it will be a good week. we started a bible study
class last week that is supposed to be non denominational which was
hard to prepare. It took elder hall and i almost 2 hours to figure out
how to teach it without sounding like we were one sided haha. it went
way good though. we decided that as we keep getting more people coming
that we can start talking about everything else so that will come with
time. just for now it sucks. We did have a bunch of people show up and
even had refreshments so it for sure looked like we knew what we were
doing.
My companion is not doing so hawt though right now. Last week
wednesday he woke up with a kinked neck and everyday since then has
gotten worse, we went to the ER on saturday morning, i stayed there
all night until sunday afternoon with him and slept in the lobby, that
sucked bad and was freezing cold. and then he got released that night
but cant move his neck so he turns his whole body. he also started
losing strength in his arms and hands, so we went back to the doctor
yesterday and are trying to figure out what is going on. they took an
MRI and then tomorrow we will go get the results. So keep praying for
him.
One cool story about yesterday though. President called me and told me
that i had two rules that day. Number one was that i had to take care
of elder tora, and number two was that i had to go find a girl that
was baptized in my last ward who was not cofirmed, no matter where she
was and to confirm her, so about 3:30 pm elder hall and i went on
exchange and started searching, going to family members that she had,
calling around and searching, we drove 150 miles in like 6 hours and
went to 4 different zones but finally found her in waipahu zone in a
super ghetto place, we confirmed her right on the spot. it was way fun
actually. some tongan family took us to sizzler and president was way
happy that we got it done. I told him that we should be called the "go
get it done AP's" they have the office and traveling ones but we need
the get it done kind haha. He said he would pray about it. It was
definatley a miracle though that we found her and way fun.
There is my excuse for not emailing. That and we didnt get home until
like 10. I was dead tired haha.
well glad all is well back home. love you all
