So my comapnion, Elder
Sewell has been struggling health wise since he got here. almost every
day he's ahd some kind of illness or pain but this week was what seemed
to be the peak of it all. He wasn't feeling good at all on wednesday so
we stayed in and rested a bunch and then Thursday morning He woke up
worse and we ended up taking a taxi into the mission office to deal with
him there. He wasn't like tragically ill or something but he wasn't
getting anybetter with the situation we were in at our house way over
here in Lalovi so we got to go kick it in the office for a night and he
got heaps better. It was a blast to be honest. For me it was like a mini
vacation especially because when we got there I met the package you had
sent and the other one with the USB and adapter thingy, Plus on top of
that all the Senior couples who were taking care of my soa and I SPOILED
THE CRAP OUT OF US. THey gave us so much food that is so foreign to get
here in Samoa like the pizza you have a picture of now. It was very
realxing and like a spa trip or something for me but all the while my
soa was pretty delirious and just trying to overcome whatever Samoa had
done to him. Then he got better real quick and we made it back home but
still have basically just rested all week to make sure his illness is
just gone completely because we have a lot of work to attend to. The
area is huge, we have a lot of member support, and there are plenty of
people waiting for us in the area.
ANyhow all is well. Today
for our P-day we made the chocolate chip muffins you sent me which were
awesome! THnaks a ton for that! We're still trying to find something to
blow up tongiht but we can't really think of anything that might be
explosive here in Samoa so we're still open to ideas if you have any,
We've still got one more 4th left on our missions and I personally plan
on going out with a bang! :)
Also A little side note about
rihgt now. In other words this is live news. Our Ward mission leader is
sleeping on the floor behind us as we email because He loves the AC in
the bishops office where we use the computer so he came by for a nice 2
hour nap. :) He's a great guy! His name is Fatu and he's been a huge
help to us. Its things like this though just remind me how weird I'll be
when I get home because him being here and just things like this in
general are pretty normal... A ward mission leader from a different area
spent the night at our house when I was in Tuanai. Weird stuff but it
was all just the easiest way to get the service done that we had planned
for that day. I love it here in Samoa and Heavenly Father really
teaches me in the coolest ways and especially in the office this week.
But you'll have to wait for that story in the journal entry letters I
send you. But anyways this place is a miracle to me. I love it here. :)
