So the beginning of this week was normal. Just the usual
missionary work. But then on Friday we had exchanges so I went to
Grangeville with Elder Fogle. He’s home now, it was his last 2 days in the
mission. He’s interesting but really awesome. So that was good. Then on Sunday
we had to go pick up Elder Goodwin from Grangeville because his companion Elder
Fogle left. So we went to pick him up and slept in Grangeville.
He is getting swept out and sister missionaries are coming
into Grangeville so that's a change! My companion will be district leader now,
so that should be fun. So that's the news with transfers. Elder Stoddard and I are
staying but we’re getting a new set of sisters.
So here comes the craziness of today. We were helping Elder
Goodwin pack up and clean his apartment. And there was an incident. We had this
pocket knife and we were helping him pack. Elder Stoddard decided to grab the
blade and slice his finger open! Not fun! So he severed his tendon in his left
middle finger. Of course the one time I need my first aid kit it’s in the other
apartment. But we called the medical missionary leader and told her and headed
to the clinic in Grangeville. They told us that he would have to go get surgery
to fix it in Lewiston so we drove up to Lewiston. He got a pretty cool surgery
done to his finger and the doctor let me watch the whole thing! So that's why I’m
emailing so late. Thank heavens for my calmness when people get hurt because he
passed out and started seizing and it was very crazy, but it really wasn't as
bad as it sounds.
Well that's been my week and now I’m here emailing in
Lewiston. Thanks for all your emails! It’s been a really weird week for me but
I got to hang out in a hospital and watch a surgery for pday so that was
awesome!
Answers to mom’s questions..
1. How are your investigators? Did you see them this week?
1. My investigators are amazing! We try to see them often. I’ve
seen the two on date for baptism this week and the other ones not so much. But
they are all super awesome except when they are flaky and have appointments
fall through.
2. What kind of things do you do for exercise? Do you ever want to
get up early and exercise for longer?
2. Thomas and I have shared some workout stuff. I mostly do
like a set of pushups, dips, burpees and other stuff routine because working
out at 6:30 for me is super hard. I’m used to working out later and for as long
as I want. So doing it in the morning is hard. I haven’t woken up early for it
because I can get a good workout in. Just getting motivated is the hardest
part. Also I don't have a pull up bar here so that's pretty much the worst.
3. Do you go to bed by 10:30? Is that hard?
3. Yeah I get to bed on time most nights. Pretty much all of
them unless we sleep at other missionaries’ places. Then it’s harder.
4. On Sundays which meetings do you attend for each ward? Do you
have to pick and choose or do you just go to everything?
4. We attend sacrament of one ward and then sacrament of the
other. Then gospel principles and priesthood. So just one extra sacrament.
Love you guys!
