Hello
all!
Now
for the highlight of ya'lls week, my foot! It's doing a lot better! The pain has
pretty much diminished. I've graduated from a walker to a limp, then to a
hobble, and now I'm pretty much walking like a human again. The first few days
were hard. I couldn't really put pressure on it. Luckily, the french elders in
our zone had a walker in their apartment for whatever reason, and they let us
borrow it for a few days. Pictures included. Also, at Walmart, I was allowed to
use one of those ride-on carts. It was an incredible opportunity, I got even
more strange looks than I usually get. But all is well now, and I should get my
stitches removed next week!
We
had "Why I Believe" this week! Our new mission president and his wife spoke.
President and Sister Neilson! It was great. Two recent converts from our ward
said the opening and closing prayer. All was well until halfway through the
meeting, we heard a big crack of thunder, the power went out, the lights,
microphone, AC. It was a warm, dark, and quiet meeting, but the spirit was
strong, and I love the Neilsons!
Fun
little story: We got on an Elevator with 3 ladies. A grandmother, mother, and
daughter. They were from the middle east, and the grandmother didn't know
English. The grandmother has 5 grapes in her had, so she offered one to her
daughter, and she shrugged it off, then she offered one to her granddaughter,
and she shrugged it off as well, then she offered one to us, and we politely
declined. We thought it was pretty funny.
Tonight
is Callouts. I will see if I stay In the Germantown area or leave, or if I get
a new companion. Always a stressful time.
Love
you all!
