11/20/17

on Friday... Well I got a call at like 6:40 in the morning from the Sisters saying their companion is sick and she needs to go to the hospital. So, I was like, did she have a blessing? She said no, so we went over there and gave them a blessing and that was cool. Then they said they needed a malaria test kit and I was like “Well shoot they’re going to ask us to get them one”, but then I humbled myself and said “okay I can serve her, that’s good”. So, we went to the first drug store (side of the road--not an actual store--don’t be fooled) and it was closed. So then we were like “Flip we don’t want to bike all the way to the market and back--that would be a lot of work!”. But we did and we found the kit and payed for it and went back to the Sisters because we are nice. (So, when my wife wants a fish fillet sandwich at 3 in the morning when she’s pregnant, like my own father, I know I’ll go) We got that to them and that was pretty much it. There was more to Friday-- just not as exciting.

This week was good (other than that, and even that was good) I was a bit sick on-- I forgot what day, but my companion really wanted to go out so we did and I was basically a dead body while he taught the people but we still went out and had a pretty okay day, I think :)

In my reading I’m in Mormon. It’s so cool just to see how he changes and you can just tell it’s because he was reading Captain Moroni and other amazing leaders and how they truly influenced his life and leadership and even though his own army lost he was righteous because he read and likened the book of Mormon to himself :)
