Short and Sweet

Sunday, March 9th

Sorry this is going to be short!  I don't know where all the time went!
This week was pretty weird.  I feel like that happens a lot though, so maybe this week was normal??...

Either way, I found out that I have a sinus infection and an ear infection.  Super fun.  They stuck three really long giant tubes up my nose and jammed them into my sinuses!  It hurt a lot!  But then to make matters worse, they vacuumed (yes...VACUUMED!) out my sinuses.  It was horrible!  They didn't even give me a heads up.  They just shoved things up my nose!  Terrible, but a great story!  It's kinda funny now.  I'm actually kinda laughing about it, but it was not fun at the time!

Then I got in trouble from Kaicho (President) for working when I was sick.  Oooops!  I felt super bad about that.  Really.  I love him and would never ever want to do anything to disappoint him or make him upset.  So, anyways, I had to spend a couple of days inside.  I called a lot of people from the area book, and updated it, and stuff.  It's torture!!!  I think updating the area book is worse than being sick!  Ha!  OK, probably not, it's a great tool, and it's super important to use it and keep it current.

But since Nigh Shimai was still sick and stuck inside for another week, the other three of us have been doing weird splits so that no one gets stuck in the apartment for the whole day.

A couple of miracles, though!  Baba san called!  Guess what?! She was like, "Hey Babcock Shimai, sorry I can't go to church with you this week because I'm going to visit a shrine with my dad, but I'll be at church next week.  But I'm healthy again, so I'll be there!"  (but this conversation was in Japanese!)  But WHAAA???  I was freaking out!  It was like a normal conversation and like she hadn't been sick for the last three months!  So she'll be at church next week for sure.  She ALWAYS keeps her commitments!  I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

The less active sister that we went to Fukuoka with came to church again this week!  I think she's going to keep coming.  She is going to be active again..I know it!

I'm doing good.  The work is awesome!  This Church is true!  I LOVE The Book of Mormon!  That book is amazing, let me tell you!  Everything hinges on it.  And it's true!  I love this work, my mission, the Gospel!  I love you all!  Thanks for everything!  You are all the best!!!

At English classes...
Still got my "boxing out" skills from basketball!
I knew they would come in handy in the real world!
