This week was a little bit of a stressful but wonderful one. So they are now expecting us all to speak Spanish all the time so it is a little diffcult because i don't feel like I know anything. But it's coming slowly, everything will work out in the end. So this week is being really stressful because i had a bunch of nursing classes this week. So you know how my mission president's wife wrote me and told me that I wasn't really going to be the missions nurse because they already have one. Well i was talking to the medical director about it and they were saying that the mission president actually can't do that because the mission nurse has to be trianed by the church. They said that they will let them keep her in there for a bout another 8 months so I can get the language and understand the culture and such and if they don't put me in the mission nurse by the 6 months i'm out there then I'm supposed to email them. So i don't have to worry about me not being the mission nurse.
My nursing classes were pretty amazing I was the only nurse in there with about 5 doctors and they expect me to know and learn the same things as them. It was really intreresting and I think I understand everything pretty well. Hopefully I'm a good nurse when I get down there.
So scare of the week is I got a hug lump behind my ear and it was pushing my ear forward and giving me a massive stiff neck and headache. i dealt with it for a couple of days and then I got a little worried so i went to the doctor. It's just a lymph node and i don't really have any signs of infections or anything so they stuck me on some antibiotics because they don't know what is up but they think there must be something going on. They gave me some pain killers too but I haven't used them at all I just have been using tylenol and that has been working great. Then my companion Hermana Lao has been really sick the last couple of days and her knee has been really bothering her for a couple of weeks. She is very against medicine and doctors and such so it was really hard to convince her to go to the doctor. But we literally drug her to the doctor yesterday and she is really sick. She has an infection in her throat and in her lungs. And then they think she has a tumor in her knee. So I'm going with her to the hospital on Monday to get an MRI and see what is up. I hope everything is ok with her. but while she was sick we had to be in the dorms with her so we had a nice and relaxing day yesterday. Hermana Griffeth and I just sat on the couches and studied all day long. All the elders in our district thought we were up there sleeping and relaxing but we really tried hard to stick to the schedule and do what we could. We memorized 91 vocabulary words and went over verb tenses for quite awhile and and then we finally had to lay down and take a 20 minute nap. But we studied really hard all day long. It was really nice to just relax and take time to study. I feel a lot better because I was super frustrated all week with the language becuase I have missed so much class becuase of my nursing classes.
There is definitely a sickness going around our district. Elder Scott got it last week and then Elder Edwards has been coughing up blood because he has been coughing so much and now Hermana Lao has it so hopefully we don't all get it.
Our lesson with our progressing investigator went really well this week. Last week he was very closed and didn't want to talk to us and hated God and so on and so forth. Well this week we cracked through his barrier and he definitely felt the spirit. He was begging to know more like to hear the first vision and learn more about the Book of Mormon. It is really nice to watch comeone realize that happiness this gospel can bring.
I just love this gospel to death. It's amazing the happiness and the joy it brings. I've just noticed a massive difference in my life since I"ve come into the MTC. With the spirit as my constant companions it is really hard to get down or to be discouraged. LIfe is just wonderful and the gospel brings so much happiness, peace, and comfort to my life!!
Well that is basically my week I guess, nothing else really happened I still have like 12 minutes to write but I don't really have anything else to say. Oh I bore my testimonry in Spanish in church on Sunday I guess that was a pretty big accomplishment. I was scared out of my mind but it went great and hopefully I made a little bit of sense.
Well thanks for the love and support from everyone I really do love receiving letters every day. So keep sending letters!!
Love ya
