Week 22

This week went a little slow... Hermana Adelman got really sick again this week...

Lunes: Today we had a fun activity with the Hermanas in our zone. We went over to the church and played volleyball and stuff. And I played soccer for the first time!! I'll just say I actually did okay. Better at goalie though...:) Then we went home to do laundry, shopping, and letter writing. In our lessons today we were able to teach Hugo about prophets and answered a lot of questions he had. They were all basic questions that should have been answered in the beginning... Eeep! Then we went to teach Belia and we had Hermana Limon with us. And Belia was so excited to have us there! It was great:) We were able to teach her about the ministry of Christ and the fall of the church.

Martes: I totally woke up to my first earthquake ever... It was so cool!!!! I have no idea how big it was, but it was shaking our beds good and hard. But we had our district meeting that went really good. And we found a Beatles car... Pictures included... But we went home and finished our Progress form for Hermano Pino and then went to comida with the Ramierez family. It was super good, but killed Hermana Adelman. So we hurried and gave a mini lesson and left. We tried getting a hold of the mission doctor, Dr. Morales, but he wouldn't answer his phone until an hour later and said he was on vacations. So we couldn't see him until the following day. And the sister training leaders said to just go to a pharmacy for a consultation. So we went got some meds and a form to go do some more tests, then went home and stayed there for the rest of the day. But I got a good amount of studying down:) And later the other Hermanas came and visited us and told us how correlation went.

Miercoles: Today we went to Betesda to do the tests for Hermana Adelman It only took a few minutes and then we headed home. And she got some rest while I studied some more and caught up on my journal. Then we went and saw Doctor Morales and he checked Hermana Adelman's mouth and heartbeat and what not. Then he prescribed her some more medication and that she needed to get a hold of him when the tests are over. After that we went home, ate some pan Dulce, and rested.

Jueves: Today she still wasn't feeling good, so we stayed at home. I did some studying and what not while Hermana Adelman slept. Then we got antsy and went out on a walk around the block and got some self-serve frozen yogurt and ate it on our roof:)That view is awesome from up there:)

Viernes: Today Hermana Adelman felt good enough to work! We first went out to Hugo and taught him a little about the ministry of Jesus. He's so grateful for us for clarifying a bunch of stuff. He wouldn't stop saying that. He's really sweet:) Then we went to the Familia Martinez and taught them about Heavenly Father. Then we asked them if they could accompany us to our next lesson and help teach the same lesson... That's called the Double Play:) The grandkids came and we tried finding Marta and Julia, but no one was home. So we dropped them off and went to comida at this restaurant with really healthy food:) Then we went up to Loma Linda and taught Ufemia about faith and promised her that if she has faith and comes to church this Sunday she will have enough money and more for her rent. She's really worried about it... We also found a new family to teach who lives right next door to Ufemia. They are from a little pueblo outside of the city area of Oaxaca and are only here for a couple of weeks. But they want us to keep coming back and teaching them more:)

 Sabado: Today we were going to go out and work.... Then Hermana Adelman got sick again.... I guess working for a full day after trying to rest for a week affected her a lot. So we had to stay in the house for today. We did go to Betesda to get her results for the tests she took... She's got a lot of bacteria in her... We couldn't get a hold of Doctor Morales again, so we went back to the pharmacy and talked to the same doctor about the results. He just told her that she has tons of bacteria in her throat and that it's going down and affecting her stomach. But he gave her a prescription (injection) to take and she could be better in 5 days. But we decided to wait until we got a hold of Doctor Morales to know if it was right to take it. So we went home and rested again.

Domingo: Today Hermana Adelman still didn't feel right, but she felt a lot better now that she had a few more answers that made sense for her body... Though she just wanted to go get that injection really bad... I kept telling her to wait... We went to church and Ufemia didn't come! We were so sad! But Julia came and she loved it:) Testimony meeting was really good and so was Relief Society. We learned about having charity:) Then we went home and stayed there because our zone leaders told us to. And we did get a hold of Doctor Morales. Oh my goodness! He was SO HAPPY that we didn't buy that injection. I guess it's just a VERY strong medicine and she doesn't need it that strong. So we jsut stayed in the house and read the Bible. I'm actually enjoying the stories of the Old Testament:)

Our little missionaries :) 

The Beatles Car!! 

Anyway that was my week. I hope yours was good. And I hope you're still doing that challenge to read the Book of Mormon. We were supposed to have finished 1 Nephi today. The next challenge for ya'll is to read 2 Nephi in three weeks. I know ya'll can do it. And please. I would love to hear any insights or anything from your studies. Love ya'll!!
