Well, here I am again

Okay,

Really sorry for the scare, but I thought you guys would want to know rather than be left in the dark on this one. I am actually still in pretty heavy pain. I have about one good day and then one bad day. It has been getting worse and I have stayed in quite a lot this week. The appointment is actually tomorrow the 25th.(With the specialist).       I am excited to go and see what this is. Hermana Hinckley is going to come with us. She is so sweet!! When I went to the hospital the Doctor gave me some neoprofen (600mg) and a stomach coater omenproz or something like that. I had some serious pain on Tuesday and ended up staying in the whole day. LAME. and I took those two medicines and they aggravated the problem. Some of the guesses that they have here are a hernia in my intestines or something like that. Also, a floppy bowel. EMBARRASSING. okay not really, but yeah. So, I have been taking it easy. REALLY FRUSTRATING. But lemme tell you. Heavenly Father is really in control on this one. On Tuesday, I went into my bedroom to study even though this is not what I am supposed to do, but I was really in pain and sometimes it helps to lie down. So I went in there and started my studies, with a prayer of course about what to do with this pain. About 2 mins later, Hermana Church comes into the room with the phone telling me that Hermana Hinckley is on the phone wanting to know how I am doing. Mind you, She is in a Zone Conference and is worried about a whole bunch of other stuff. I told her honestly that I wasn´t feeling too great and she said to take the medication and stay in. So I did. But the miracle gets even better. So we started to cancel the appointments that we had set for that day. And miraculously, every single one of them was unable to do it anyway. Some of them even called and cancelled on us. This has happened throughout the week. As the pain gets worse, and as I rely on the Lord to know whether to stay in or go out, he really puts the clear answers in our path. We have been having kind of down weeks, only teaching 12 lessons for the past two weeks, but we have been trying. When we are out, we are out with full gusto. Please don´t worry. Just so you know, if I need surgery, I will be coming home for a while. This is what I have decided. It is not fair to a companion to stay in all day with me. Mom, you know what this is like. Basically like suicide. I am too crazy to handle in a house all day. But I will be coming back. Hopefully tomorrow all things will be cleared up. I hope!!!!

Anyways. We teach an English class on Saturdays and there is one guy that is interested in the church and also in Hermana Church. This is a slight problem because the other day he called and confessed his love to her. Telling her that he can´t eat, sleep or do anything else except think about her. He kept saying, This is my life, this is my life. What am I supposed to do. Her response was, you are not in love with me. This is your heart telling you that you want to know more about the gospel. You need to stop calling me. We will give the Elders in your area your number and they will continue teaching you.

So when these things happen you are supposed to let the people above you know. Especially for sisters. So she called our District Leader and told him, and it when up the line, Zone Leaders, Ayudantes, and President. We haven´t heard yet, but there is a possibility that an emergency transfer could happen and also, it is almost for sure that she is being shipped out at transfer time. Where, we don´t know. We just hope it is not south. She wants to open an area, Andorra or Albacete. Who knows. I will keep you up to date.

We are working with Jessica who is set to be baptized this weekend. She is the one who has two kids and is leaving her ¨husband¨. They are not really married so that makes things slightly easier. She has her interview on Wednesday and she will be baptized on Saturday. She is SOLID!! She was another one who was asking us when she could be baptized. Will send picts.

That is great about the package. THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU GUYS ARE SUPER GREAT!!!

I am so sorry. Don´t be worried about me. Hermana and President Hinckley are always checking up on me. Things are good. I got a blessing. I am doing well. This is just the way life is.
