So don't freak out that I'm emailing you on Saturday instead of Monday....it's supposed to get to -50 degrees on Monday so President told us to email today instead of Monday so we don't have to go outside. By word of mouth, the schools are all closed and if you go outside for just 3 minutes you will have frostbite!!!! I hated the cold in Utah but it's SOOOOOO much better than here that's for sure! One of our investigators, W, says the best prayers in the world, and yesterday he said "Bless everyone in this good old state of Minnesota this weekend, because it's gonna be a fritzer! I mean FREEZER!" His prayers are the best thing ever. We taught him about following the prophet and in the prayer he said "Now about Mr. Monson, is he really a prophet?" Hahaha I just love that guy.
Well this week has been kind of slow for us. Not just because of the new year, but because basically all of our appointments have fallen through. It's kind of a bummer when that happens. BUT in my experience, when you have a REALLY good week, the next week is really slow. Esta bien, asi es la mission.
We spent new years eve at Hno. C's house! His sister is a way good cocinera and made us ham, mashed potatoes, tamales(the best ones I have EVER had) and some yummy salad. C came with us too! He was working in California for a while, but then he came back, but I think he already left to go to Iowa to work for 6 more months :( so I probably won't see him again. Oh well, I ordered him a picture of the Veracruz temple to write my testimonio on to give to him.
So I don't know if you got my written letter yet......but I don't think I will end up going to the doctors. So this is what happened. My leg felt really numb for a few days in December , and then it went away for a while. Then a few days ago it came back and got really bad. At first it was just numbness in my lower back and right leg, but then it got to the point that every step I took I got a shot of pain down my whole leg. So I called the medical lady and she told me to see a orthopedist asap. But then I got a priesthood blessing (which was hard for me to ask for, I don't know why) and Sister C called me yesterday and helped me figure out what it was. I think I just irritated/dislocated the sciatic nerve( I don't remember exactly what it is called ) but I just have to do stretches every day to help it. It has now turned into a dull aching pain throughout my whole leg, but after I stretched today it felt a lot better. So I'm fine!!!! It's not gonna stop me from doing anything!
I know why I am here in St. Peter. And it's because there are so many Guatemalans! We taught several this week, and one who really really REALLY understood the restoration, which is a MILAGRO!!!!!!!! My goal is to baptize at least one Guatemalan before I leave the area. There is a trailer park that is primarily Guatemalans so we just started to call it "Little Guatemala"
Well that basically the week! So you won't hear from me til the Monday after this one. But everything is great and I love being a misionera!
