Yes, This probably has been the craziest week of my mission.
It started off pretty normal, but when wednesday came, for lack of a better term, all heck broke loose!
So on a normal busy day we have about 5 to 6 lessons and we feel like those days were super awesome. This Wednesday we had 10, that's right 10 lessons!! We started off the day by going on splits because we over booked ourselves. Sister Ence went with sister robinson and Sister Ratzlaugh went with me. It was so awesome! We were literally running from appointment to appointment the entire day. We had dinner with a family we love and rushed to a couple last appointments. Little did we know that sister robinson drank some crystal light during dinner. Which has artificial sweetners in it, which she is allergic too....yup.
When we were all finished with our day (or so we thought) I noticed that sister robinson was acting a little strange. I asked her if she was ok and she replied. no....She had a sevear headache and her throat felt like it was closing up, her back was hurting her and she started shaking...Freaked me out! So I called the elders and had them come over to give her a blessing. It didn't seem to do anything so the 1st ward elders called their bishop (who is a doctor) and asked him what they should do?? He said to give her some extra strength tylonel and if that didn't help within 45 mins to an hour that we should take her to the hospital. I called our mission president and his wife like crazy and neither on of them would anwser. (Cause it was midnight and they were sound asleep) After we waited an hour, sister robinson was still doing bad. I knelt down in the living room and prayed to heavenly father that someone would anwser thier phone (cause we need to get permission before we go to the hospital). Finally one of the assistants to the president anwsered their phone the first phone call I made after I said my prayer. They said it was up to me on judging whether or not we go. I was basically already at the hospital when they said that so I was like oookay. We got in there and the doctors told her that it was a bad allergic reaction and from the stress of the day it made it even worse. They gave her some medicine and a shot and at 3 in the morning the sent us home. It was an extremely exhausting day. Luckily we got ahold of the mission president's wife and she said for us to take it extremely easy the next day so sister robinson could recouperate. She is doing much better now. Man, it was craziness!!!
Another Crazy thing i forgot to tell you last week is that we got a baptism this week!!! My first one!! But not technically haha. That's another funny story. Basically the elders were teaching this little 13 year old girl who is a friend of one of the members in their ward. They didn't know until two weeks ago that she actually lived in our area. So we inherited her. Which was so awesome because she is the sweetest nicest girl ever and you can just see the light of christ glowing within her. She was baptized on saturday at 10 am. It was so wonderful and everything ran so smoothly. There was a GREAT turn out and even one of our investigators came! We are excited to have her in our ward now. :) The craziest thing though is that my district leader gave sister robinson and I blessings about a month ago and he promised us that we would have a baptism. At the time I was shocked because our investigators were getting close to baptism, but I didn't think any of them would be ready by the end of the transfer. So it was so cool to see that promise come true!!!
We had such a spectacular week!! we got 27 lessons!!! So awesome, cause the most we have got is 20. The Lord has blessed us SO MUCH!!!!!
Now I probably should get to the nitty gritty about the news on transfers...........Sister robinson and I are both training.....I am being transfered :(..... I am so sad. It doesn't seem real. I have been saying bye to people but it still hasn't hit me yet. The worst part about it is I have no idea where I am going. I find out tomorrow. Ugh. My mission president is such a tease. On friday night he asked me if I want to know where I am going and I was like "YES!" he said "Well you will find out tuesday" That stinker. The assistants also were giving me a hard time too on saturday night. They told me that I am going to love my new area and that I am going to the best ward in the mission. ( So they are splitting craig 2nd ward right??) they also asked me the other day if I am a dog person? I said yes but they wouldn't tell me why they asked me until saturday. they said it has to do with were I am going. The anticipation is killing me!! But I will find out in less than 24 hours. It is also weird to think that I am leaving sister robinson and that she is training a new little greenie. I know she will do great. Hopefully I trained her well haha.
Oh the last part I wanted to tell you about is about my blog haha. So today I was saying good bye to a recent convert that I love and she was giving me her email and stuff and told me to look her up on facebook when I get home. I told her that she could read my blog so she could read these emails that i sent to you guys. She was asking me what the name of my blog was and when I told her it use to be "Confessions of a poor college student" she was like. "Hey I think I have read that blog before." haha She totally did. Isn't that crazy!! She read the posts before I even left on my mission. I almost fell out of my chair cause I seriously only thought that you lovely people that my mother sends these emails to read my blog. I never thought anybody else but family and friends would really come across it haha. That was so awesome. Made my day! Well besides dying of anticpation. I am doing super super good. Sad to leave but also excited to get to my new area and meet my new companion and find those amazing people the lord is preparing me to teach. I love you all!! Thanks for all of your support. Have a wonderful week!!!
Love you
Love sister Jones
