More Pigsa's...
This week was supposed to be another super sayan week, but it turned out
to be lame, but then actually ended up pretty successful.
I
waited for my new companion on Tuesday for 6 hours in the hot sun. I
already had some brand new little pigsa forming on my thigh and other
places where the sun don't shine, but I guess the sitting in the heat
for 6 hours really accelerated their growth and swelling and they hurt
so flippin bad. I had about 5 or 6, and one nasty pig one that is
perfectly placed on my sit bones making it very painful to sit and lay
down. Me and my new companion Elder Salazar got home around 5:30 pm
and then we went right out the door and worked becuz I am a wild man
and I love God more than i love resting because of pigsas. Then the next
morning we worked for 4 hours in the hot sun and my pigsas kept hurting
worse and worse, so when we got home around noon,
I told Sister Andrada about my sitch and she told me to go the hospital
ASAP and get checked up. The doctor made me pull my pants down and
show her my pigsas hahaha. It was awk. But she said that I am getting
pigsas from being out in the heat all day and so she says that I
shouldn't to missionary work during the day time and should stay in
side
all day because my body cant handle it apparently. HAHA that definitely
wont happen. But anyways, I had to by these heavy antibiotics and some
pain killers. Afterward I called Sister Andrada and she said that I
should rest until they are healed but also to use my own judgment about
when to go out and work because I know my body better than she does. So
I decided to rest a lot this week and work when the Sun goes down to
allow my stuff to heal.
SOOOO the work was not
the best this week for obvious reasons. And since I have been resting so
much, I am kinda thrown out of my wild man missionary mode and fear and
laziness are creeping back in, so this week I am gonna have to get into
crazy wild man mode again and FEED THE LORD'S SHEEP.
But
this week still turned out to be a success thanks to God and God alone.
We had district conference this week, and it is a 2 hour drive from
Lasam and the fare is expensive, so we weren't expecting a lot of
investigators to be able to come, but we were surprised to see 8
investigators at the district conference and 3 of them have never even
met with us yet and came because they were invited by members and other
investigators! SO nuts. The talks were great and President Andrada
totally killed it and the Spirit was strong so I was glad that my
investigators go to here him speak.
My pigsas
are healing and they don't hurt so I think I am good to go now for this
week. I am taking the medicine and drinking my super juice every morning
to boost up my immune system so I don't get any more cursed pigsas.
Seriously I am turning into Job.
My new
companion is Elder Salazar, anotha filipino. He is older than me in the
mission by 3 months, but is younger than me in years and I am still the
senior companion. He has a lot of love for
the work and for the people and for me....maybe a little too much love for me, but I pray the Lord
will help us to a mighty work here in the next 5 weeks. Elder Salazar is a good
teacher and can carry his own weight and do his own part in the work so I
am gonna have to re-adjust so we can be a unified companionship, which
is a very good thing!
Right now I am reading the Miracle of Forgiveness by Prez Kimball and it rocks.
What
else? Idk. I love you all! I here America is going bananas right now
with Donald vs Hillary and crazy protestors and all sorts of scary stuff
so y'all please be careful! The Lord is always in control no matter how
crazy the world gets!
