Okay in case I haven’t mentioned it I am SO EXCITED for Elder Holland like holy cow!! Plus they told us since there is so few of us (there’s like 260 missionaries here right now but next week they have 160 more coming! **salutes teachers and walks away**) we get to shake his hand!! I’ll probably turn red like dad and start to nervous sweat, thanks dad:)
Anyway this week was another exciting week, so Hermana Donaldson has Endometriosis-dont worry I got medical consent- if you dont know what that is just know it is VERY VERY VERY PAINFUL like indescribable. Anyway she’d been in quite a bit of pain all day so we decided to take her back and make her lay down for a while. As soon as we got back things got really bad, so I got all our stuff together and we rushed as fast as possible to find elders and a teacher. We got her to our elders which gave her a blessing and a teacher to run and grab the doctor. Since it’s such a rare condition and there’s not a lot they can do treatment wise, especially in a MTC clinic, our teacher said we might have to “go outside the wall” to the nearest hospital. I was freaking out a little hahahaha. But we went to the clinic doctor first and they would only let one companion in with her (I dont get Mexicans they’re weird) so me and her went into the back office where a giant Mexican used his Google translate to communicate. Google translate is great and will get the job done but it’s not very accurate hahaha, so after a while of trying to explain the condition and some other things, he hands the phone to us and it says, “a question I should not ask, I have injection that can take away all feeling in 2 hours”…. hahahahaha we looked at each other with wide eyes and gave a big “GAH..uhhhhh…..” she typed back “that sounds scary”… he chuckled shook his head and walked out of the room. I suggested to her that maybe we should have payed more attention in the law of chastity vocab lesson earlier:) she started laughing and the said “Hermana, dont make me laugh!!” Haha it was still funny:) Needless to say we did not take the nice doctors morphine and shes doing much better now.
Also we had a hairdresser night, Kels you would be so proud!! Haha Hermana Taylor needed her bangs cut super bad and so Hermana D did them I’ll send the preview in the bottom hopefully it works! And I dont have the results but it turned out great! I also did everyone’s eyebrows so I’m a very happy camper:)
Spiritual thought for this week is to go read or listen to “The Gift of Grace” by elder uchtdorf, it is AMAZING holy cow.
“I marvel to think that the Son of God would condescend to save us, as imperfect, impure, mistake-prone, and ungrateful as we often are. I have tried to understand the Savior’s Atonement with my finite mind, and the only explanation I can come up with is this: God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastingly. I cannot even begin to estimate “the breadth, and length, and depth, and height … [of] the love of Christ.”
I feel the need to add that I know this is true, that OUR savior and God know each one of us and love every bit us more that we are able comprehend. I KNOW that there is nothing we can do that is so far the Light of Christ cant reach us, and help us find our own way back to home and happiness. I know this. GOD LOVES YOU. AND I LOVE YOU. Dont forget that please.
Anyway hope you all have the BEST and safest week<3<3
Love, Ryenne
