so this week. first thing that happened well. it was kinda a good start of the week.
we had interviews with pres. cause my comp told him i called him a liar? when i didn't i was just trying to tell him something but i couldn't explain it in spanish. and he took it wrong. so my interview was 1 hour long. haha but now i can say me and pres are on good terms. hahaha i feel good about it. honestly it was good. he apologized for things he said to me. and i dont know. i feel his love now. i know it will just keep getting better.
he also asked me to be ready to train. he needs me to be ready to train. haha but im stubborn so working on that. hahahah im learning so much good on my mission it drives me crazy.
so interviews was tuesday. thursday we went to the office. cause my comp needs to get his id in costa rica. weird i know i have 6 months less than him and i have mine. toma chi chi. hahaha i guess thats bad in other countries. but here it means take that. fool hahahaha its just funny. but yeah. so i worked on the comp for the secretaries which are like my best friends. and i sent out all the references of the mission which was fun. but we left and i started to have a headache and a sore throat. we were walking to a bus. and a member invited us to come into her soda. which is like a restaurant but like not a chain. its hard to explain. but she gave us a huge plate of mexican food. it was soooo good. and we hadnt eaten all day. blessings from god!
that night i got a migraine like the ones mom get. it was so bad. s i went to bed. i woke up about 2 hours later. and just all my body hurt. to lay down or sit up or anything. it just hurt. than my stomach ache followed. and by the next morning my throat killed too. i called the mission nurse. and she told me i had a strong case of gripe. haha woosh that sickness again. so i went to the doctor and they gave me drugs. antibiotics. and i rested all day friday. saturday. i got sicker and saw the huge red bumps in my throat so i called the nurse and she just said stick with it. rest and all. ok so here i am. sunday i couldnt go to church. which sucked. haha i feel like such a sinner. but god knows i couldnt.
but last night i slept so i have a bit of energy. so thats my short week. we will see what god needed me to learn from this. hhaha he is a smart guy. haha i was so mad. i was like i know you can make me better right now if you wanted. i have the faith you could do it. than i felt. but what do you need to learn from all these sicknesses.
i dont have much else to say so gospel time. haha i was thinking about sicknesses. and how god uses the word afflictions in the scriptures. my sickness is an affliction. and just like joseph smith god said be patient in your afflictions. not in your trials or in your hardships. in your afflictions. and i will save you a place on high. how true is that. jesus suffered more than anyone ever will. and he has the best place. right next to god. joseph smith suffered for almost all his life. he lived a hard life. in d and c 135 verse 3 it says that joseph smith did more for the salvation of man. than any other save it be jesus christ. he did the second most. and for me. he suffered second most.
if i want to do anything good. i have to sacrifice. to suffer in my afflictions. thats how we earn our place in the heavens. everything we do in this church is a sacrifice. of time. of talent. really anything. its a sacrifice. haha i know that if i just keep staying positive and pushing through my afflictions. i will be able to do more good. i will reserve my place on high. god will bless me for it. if not in this life in the life to come. sometimes we need to think about that in our lives. how can i suffer a bit more. sacrifice a bit more for he who gives me everything. for him who suffered all ive ever suffered. i loved it.
those are just some of my bed drugged up thoughts. hahaha i love the mission i really do. i miss working so so so bad. i hope i get well soon so i can get back out to helping people.
so kevin was supposed to get baptized saturday. but. he got grounded. hahahaha so yeah. he couldnt leave the house. but this week! haha we have 4 lined up for this change. we ill see what happens. =D super excited.
i love the work. i love being sick. not as much as i love being healthy... hahha but i love it here. i love you all i miss you all. and i want you all to know. the gospel is true. true dat.
=D
and it can bless your life. if you dont know how. or you dont understand it all. trust in what you do know. that god loves you. and jesus made it possible to return to god. and he loves you too. if thats all you know. everything else will just fall into place. dont worry just trust.
Like me. hahaha oh i think my humiltiy fell. i got to go pick it up. haha thats a wierd joke they make here. i wonder if it makes sense in english. hahahah
i love you all. miss you all.
Love Your son, brother, and best friend.
