Well this week went by incredibly fast!! Man I
am exhausted!! I think this week has been one of the most exhausting weeks that
I have had in the mission so far!! I have never been so tired haha! But that's
the mission right?! We have had a lot of rain and some flash floods and
wind, but not as bad as other parts of Mexico.
On Monday President Camarillo and his wife came
and picked us up and took us to dinner. It was super good!! Then we drove to
Uruapan and got there at like 11. We stayed with the zone leaders. So I stayed
up and talked to Elder Quinney until like 2am! It was pretty fun...until we had
to wake up at 5:30, not so fun.
Then on Tuesday we had the zone conference in
Uruapan. At about 4 we finished and drove back to Morelia. We stopped for
dinner when we got here and it was super good! I love eating with
President because we always go to super nice restaurants! We got back to our
house at about 10 and had to get some stuff finished up and plan for the zone
conference in Morelia.
On Wednesday we had the zone conferences in
Morelia and we were able to work in our area the rest of the day. So we got to
our area and had a couple lessons with our investigators. It went really well.
Our investigator, Martin, is progressing super well and should be getting
baptized this next Saturday.
On Thursday we had the zone conferences in
Aeropuerto and then drove to Zamora.
On Friday we had the zone conferences in Zamora
and then President told me: ¨There is no way I am going to be able to drive
home. I am too tired!¨ So we drove him and his wife to their house. I was dying
to stay awake, meanwhile President and his wife were sound asleep in the back.
It was pouring as well!! A drive that should have taken us 2 hours ended up
taking 4 because of all the traffic and car accidents!! It was crazy!! We got
to Guadalajara at like 9:30 and President told us to stay the night with the
secretaries. So we met up with them at the offices and I got to pick up my
packages!! OH MY GOSH!!!! Those packages are amazing!!! I am so happy!! I think
I have candy for just about the rest of my mission ahah!! Thank you so much for
everything!! And I will for sure wear my BYU shirt tonight as I think about my
cougs beating the Utes haha!
This morning we woke up and Elder Rueda
couldn't get out of bed. For some reason his knee was killing him and he
literally couldn't walk. So we went to the hospital at like 8 this morning. We
were there for a couple hours taking x-rays and seeing what was the problem. It
turns out that a tendon that is rubbing againts his bone. So then we left the
hospital to travel back to Morelia.
The doctor told Elder Rueda that he can't walk
or do anything physical for 3 days. So we might have to stay in the house for a
couple days because it looks super painful to watch him walk. I just feel
so guilty staying at the house when there's so much work to be done!
Well my week went really well and just flew
by!! I seriously feel like this whole last week was just a dream! But I am
doing great and loving the mish! I think when I get home I will have to sleep
for like 20 days to make up for all the sleep that I have lost!
Hope you all had a great week and thank you for
all the love and support!
