So
this week was pretty hectic... A whole lot went on.
On
Monday night we had a cool lesson with a woman named Girly who we found while
looking through our area book, she seemed pretty interested, but it will take a
bit to help her understand the importance of the Book of Mormon.
On
Tuesday we got a phone call to go and give a blessing to a members brother at a
medical clinic in San Fernando which was pretty rough. He was pretty physically
disabled and looked like he was having a hard time. He had a ton of family all
around him so that was really nice. Then we had a nice lesson with a recent
convert about faith and exercising our faith because she hasn't been to church
in a while. It was a nice lesson and I thought she got the point, except for
when she didn't come to church again... haha it's always frustrating when
people have their own agency and don't want to do what you feel that the spirit
is telling them to do!
On
Wednesday we had our zone conference up at the mission home! It was pretty
great! It was all about ward councils and working with our auxiliary leaders
and how we help them to know their responsibilities. I was also able to
give a departing testimony that all missionaries give at their last
zone conference. It was hard, but it was good to be able to testify of the
lessons I've learned as I've served the Lord over these last 2 years! But by
the time we got home after interviews and what not it was about 8:30 and we had
to go give a blessing to a sister missionary who was sick so that was basically
the day.
On
Thursday we had our weekly planning and had some lunch, then Elder Naylor and I
headed over to the medical clinic down here in San Fernando to go and have
surgery on my ingrown toenail. Finally I had it removed permanently! It was not the
best experience of my life, but I got some pretty strong anesthetics so I
didn't feel a thing! (If you want more pictures of my toe you just have to ask)
But that put me out the rest of the day in some of the worst pain of my entire
life... It was pretty bad...
Friday
I sat on my bum all day babying my toe.
On Saturday, there's the emergency trip to the medical center again
because my foot was pretty swollen, but the only doctor there was a
gynecologist.. Yeah... So He looked at my toe and told me it wasn't infected
and sent me on my merry way to spend the rest of the night on my bum just
twiddling my thumbs again...
I did
get to go to church on Sunday which was nice but after church I got a call from
some sister missionaries informing me that because they couldn't get their car
out of their driveway because the power was out and their gate wouldn't open,
they decided to climb fence and one of them tried to step on one of the spikes
and stabbed through her shoe into her foot. So I got a phone call that they
needed some rubbing alcohol to be able to clean this other wound. So yeah, our
week was a little bit ridiculous. But I am doing well all bandaged up on my toe
and walking around today!
Hope
everyone has an awesome turkey day this upcoming week! I sure know what I'm
thankful for and love sharing it with the good people here in Trinidad!
With
love, and blessings
