Week 43: Definitely NOT the bees knees...

this week was a sad one...

first of all, last monday, I took my companion to a Doctor's office because she was literally leaning on me to walk. After taking a bunch of X-rays, informed us that there was a possibilty of the need of surgery. 

WHAT.

He told us that she need to rest for a week and that she needed to see a specialist. We were super nervous, but on thursday we went and saw a specialist. He told us that her knee was fine, that one bone was rubbing against the other bone and that with a couple of months of Physical therapy, she should be just fine. That night we called the Presidente to tell him the good news! We were so happy, that starting today we could start working and everything would all be good.

well... last night at about 10:45 we recieved a call from our dear sweet president letting us know that it would be better if Hermana Loor headed home to get all this treatment done. We sat and cried and cried, we've only been companions for like a week and a half but she is seriously one of the greatest missionaries I have ever met and I am really sad, but we know everything happens for a reason and that God is happy with all the work she has done here in Llaima!

She heads out on Wednesday and I will recieve a new companion. I have no Idea who it is and I am super terrified, because I have only been here in Llaima for a week and a half, and we had to spend one week in the casa resting. I have to direct the area now and I don't even know it haha. But the Lord put me here for a reason and I know he trusts me. Scary though right??

There's not a whole lot more to report... We just spent the whole week inside, studying and watching movies of the church and talking. I was able to go on a few exchanges and I got lost everytime, but its cool. I'll get it eventually.

This week we have a conference with four other zones here in the southern part of the mission, and its going to be great because I will FINALLY SEE HERMANA NELSON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SIX MONTHS!

party. 

but yeah, next weeks letter will be better, pinky promise. its going to be a week of miracles, I can feel it.

I love you all so much!

have the greatest week everrrrrr.
