So this week was kinda lame...
I guess we'll start from the top, last Sunday (not yesterday) Elder Lund and I were asked to give two blessings to two sick people. The daughter of a lady in the ward, and Rosa. So, we did it. then, Monday we have P-day, Tuesday Elder Lund is starting to get a bit sick. We worked anyways, that's just what missionaries do... We spent a lot of the morning helping a guy weed where he recently planted weeds, then we found Paulstina. The lady we are helping learn to read. We read the Book of Mormon to her for a little bit. That night we had a big meeting with all the ward missionaries where we are teaching them which doctrines we teach when and we are introducing them to the missionary manual Preach My Gospel. Well, Tuesday Elder Lund was really sick and, with the nurse's permission, he slept most of the day while I studied most of the day, Thursday was District Meeting and weekly planning and we had a family home evening with the lady who's daughter we gave a blessing too. It went really well. We watched the Testaments. Come time to leave, some one stole our front tires. Right on Elder Lund's birthday. Happy Birthday eh? Friday I was really sick, so my turn to sleep while Elder Lund studied. Saturday morning and Evening, we spent almost all day trying to get new tires. We were at bike shop and realized that the Elder who gave us a ride, was about to be late for an interview with President. So, we had no time to take us back so that took a good amount of time too. Sunday was good. Rosa was feeling better so she was at church and got confirmed. That was nice. The ward mission leader did it.
So, if I were to sum up this week in a nut shell, it would be with 2 Nephi 2:11 "For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility." This is true. If you never had a bad day in your life, you wouldn't recognize the good days you have. So, this week was sent to me so that I may recognize that next week will be better. :)
