Soooooooooooooo TRANSFER NEWS!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going anywhere....... YAY! I love it in Harbel so I'm glad I'm staying! Nothing happened in our zone
either. kind of a boring Transfer news phone call. The same thing happened in
my last zone, except I was the only change. I'm tired of things not changing! I like when things get mixed up and you can meet new Elders. Happy upcoming Fathers day!!!!!!! Be sure to
get him a nice steak from the Cheese cake factory or something! Even some of
those home made rolls/bread with strawberry jam would do him good! (;
This week we had mission council and was able to go in town to see what was
wrong with my companions sinus. So Tuesday and Wednesday was all spent in
Monrovia. As the Doctor was checking all his holes in his head (ears, nose,
mouth) he reached for a long metal stick with a light on the one end, and an eye
piece you can look through on the other. I'm looking at this thing
going...."where does he want to stick that thing?" He then proceeded to put
numbing juice, or whatever you want to call it, in his nose. The doctor told
him to tilt his nose and then in it went..... It went maybe 2 inches in, he
moved Elder Haas's head small, then pushed it in 2 more inches.... I'm
sitting there in shock that something that long can fit inside without hitting
anything. The Doctor told us he has Sinusitis. He'll
need to get checked again next Monday, so that'll be another in town trip we'll
go on.
During the week, sister Hezseltine dropped off popcorn kernels so I could
make her some of that caramel popcorn. So, last night we made it! The first two
bites were heavenly because of all that sugar and what not. The one's that
followed...... no enjoyment at all. My head started to pain me and my gut
hurt. I finally knew what too much sugar can do for you :) not good. It
wasn't even too much! We just haven't had that much in such a long time, that
our bodies aren't used to it any more. I'm scared for when I go home now! You'll have to ease me back into the
sugar stuff. I don't need another sugar overload like last
night....
I started going through the Miracle of forgiveness again small, to get more
knowledge on some things. As I was reading, I found a quote that I really like
a lot. "Whether you think you can, or you can't, you're right." I'm not sure if
I shared this before or not when I read this the first time, but anyway, I want
you to ponder on this. Everyone always says If there's a will, there's a way.
For majority of things, its true. If you put your mind to it, then anything can
happen. It all starts with your thoughts. That goes into the scripture that
was quoted in there about our thoughts. Alma 12:14 I believe is what it was.
But it says that our words and thoughts will condemn us. Made me think of all
those bad thoughts that I've had about someone or when you're angry and you may
get thoughts like you want to do something to the person but you keep it
inside. All these "thoughts" will condemn us at the judgement seat. God wants
us to become A LOT better! I'm sure I can speak for all of us that we all can
improve our words AND thoughts. Something that was put in our email from
president last week, was that changing takes a conscious effort. You have to
always be trying to change that thing, until it becomes apart of you, or second
nature. You cant say you don't want to gossip and then the rest of the day you
don't think about your goal. You'd fall back into the temptation of gossiping.
A conscious effort will improve us quicker.
Well, that was my week in a nutshell. Hopefully it makes sense, if not...
sorry. Love you all and have a great week!
