Hi guys!
This week has gone well! It's actually been pretty crazy. On Wednesday I had a doctor's appointment and it was interesting. Dr Weil said that I don't need to come back! He wants to have like a check up appointment in a month and that's it. That would be free too. He said my finger is about as good as he hoped it to get. So I guess it's as straight as it's gonna get! I just hope it will stop hurting when I move it which I almost think that it won't... And I hope it'll stop being so fat and everything. I'll send a picture or two of how straight and bent I can make it. Also funny story about my brace. I lost it again. I think it's a sign from God that I shouldn't use it. I lost it right before my doctor's appointment and I don't know where it is... So yeah I'm just going to not worry about that anymore. Kinda annoyed but I think that an angel is like pulling it out of my pocket and burning it or casting it into outer darkness or something...
Things in the field are really picking up. So lately I haven't really had very much motivation to work as hard as I can in the work and then some things happened this week that gave me a lot of motivation to work. It's actually kinda cool what I've been able to see change. So on Thursday we had a district meeting that was really spiritual and I really needed it. It mostly just consisted of reading my patriarchal blessing and praying and then I felt God's presence and his arms around me and yeah... It was really good and I really needed it. I kinda cried a bit too. I hadn't felt the spirit as strong as I did in a long time. That's a big reason why I got my motivation back. Then Friday I got a training that made me kinda do a self evaluation on how I'm doing and what I need to do better. We found 4 people last week which is a blessing for sure and 2 of them are really prepared. We extended two baptismal dates and this area is finally starting to go well. I don't see it as a coincidence that we found all 4 people after the district meeting at some point. One of them - Roberto I'm really excited for. He loves reading and he wants to read the Book of Mormon. We taught the restoration through Joseph Smith and he said right after we finished teaching the lesson that he knows it's true because of the Spirit he can feel. Then the other guy - Gil he wants to go to church really badly. He mostly wants to be good with God so he contacted missionaries and made us food and everything. Really good guys. I'm really excited for the work this week. Roberto has a baptismal date for mothers day and Diego a guys we found last week has one for the week after mothers day. We'll see what happens. :)
Something that President Tew told everyone in stake conference here a couple months ago is that every family should come up with their own mission plan for the week and write it on like a note pad or a piece of paper then do it that week. Then the next week throw it away and make another. Maybe you could try that? It seems like a good idea to me. :) Just ideas for you guys to get into the missionary stuff like you want to.
Do you have any nutrition ideas actually? Because lately I've been probably gaining more weight than is healthy. I run hard in the morning but I don't have very much other excercise than that. And eating badly is showing itself.
Well we don't have very much room in the basement. It's really nice just really small. We sleep in the same room we study and eat and do everything else. And we have a bathroom which is good but yeah.
I do miss Long Beach still but I'm actually really starting to love Whittier too. :) I like being with Elder Creasey too and I feel like we can help push each other a lot to become the best missionaries we can be.
Ok well I guess that's it for this week! I love you! Hang in there and have fun with Matthew's birthday and stuff!
Bye!
