Week DUHA!

Kamusta, pamilya!

 

Well, Two weeks and a day!! Its kinda crazy right? and I just remembered that I forgot my camera... so... no pictures this week either... I'll try and rememher next week!

 

This has been kinda a crazy week. Last P-day we went to the temple so a sister in my district could get her endownments, and usually everyone goes through a session on their p-day.. but the temple is closed the rest of the time i am here... so.... yeah. But it is such a BEAUTIFUL temple!! It was so cool to sit there with a bunch of sisters and elders... that was like our whole session! It was awesome. We took some pictures... but they didn't turn out very good. No worries though, we go on a temple walk every sunday so maybe we will get some good ones!

 

Last Friday my companion and I went to go study outside and when I sat down something BIT me. IT BIT ME ON MY LEG. i thought it was just an ant so i didn't think much about it, besides how painful it was. the next morning I woke up and looked at it, it was the size of a golf ball... by lunch it was the size of my palm, and my companion freaked out. So we went to the doctor... but he was on call so they sent my companion and i to the InstaCare in provo... Yep, we got to go off campus... TWICE!! haha, its a big deal here. anyways, the dr. said it would be gone in 2 days and gave me some itch cream. but that night it was the size of my whole hand and a deep dark red color and was still growing... oh well though.

 

then monday the MTC dr. called me in so he could look at it. He got all crazy and went and got the nurse to come look at it. Apparently it was really infected and I'm semi allergic....I HAVE TO AMPUTATE>.... JK(:  so he perscribed me some medicine that has 7% penicilin in it... and said, that i might have a reaction to it, but i might not, but this will take care of the infection. so... I've been taking it and I seem to be fine, and my bee sting, or whatever it is, seems to be doing fine. It is still all big and gross but the color is fading.

 

That day at lunch I was sitting at the table by the elders in my district and I was telling them that i was allergic to penicillin and that I could have a reaction to it. And Elder Minson got scared and asked what happens when I take penicillin... and i told him i didn't know but I think that my throat closes up.. and then he was saying something and then i grabbed my throat and made like a "my throat is closing sound" and you should've seen his face!!!! hahahahhahahaha I'm so mean. I BUSTED up laughing, and then He spent like the next 10 minutes trying to tell me that his face was concerned and worried, but his insides were like"oh she is just joking." hahah whatever, Elder Minson.

 

My companion and I get along great, I am so blessed with such a great companion. We are always having fun and giggling, but if you remember that when I start giggleing I don't stop... and then when I do stop if i think about it i start giggling again... So now whenever someone starts to laugh or giggle they call it the "Sister Young Syndrom" (: Basically I'm famous.. okay not really... but I am.(:

 

So on monday and tuesday i was having a really hard time... I felt really discouraged and Really sad and stupid. lIke i wasn't getting the language.... So tuesday night I knelt down to pray and I made a simple promise with my heavenly father that if I did what I promised he would give my strength and help me with the language and with memorizing the words and so forth.... He heard me and answered me and kept his promise!! The next day, so yesterday, went so well, i taught my investigator with confidence and i testified to him with all the energy of my heart.... all in Hiligaynon. It was beautiful! Family... I know that as long as you keep your end of the promise, he will keep his. He cares about everyone of our needs and wants and is aware of our weaknesses and struggles. He wants to help us, all we have to do is ask and do our part and he will provide.

 

Family, It is almost time for me to go, but I want you to know that I love this work! I love being a missionary! It is so rewarding.  I know that this church is true. I know that heavenly father hears and answers our sincere prayers. I know that the atonement is for everyone, and not just for repenting but for comfort and protection. Chirst suffered every pain that we would ever have... he wnet though all the tings we are going through... lean on him.

 

I love and miss you all. And I am so grateful for all of the support and love.

 

Remember to write me though.........

 

Love always, your missionary,

Sister Young(:
