Well its crazy to say this... but I have hit my 6 month mark on my mission. Its really going fast, and I hope it slows down a little because I love India! Ive realized that 2 years is really short and I need to make sure im doing all that I can to serve my Heavenly Father while I am here. This week was really, really slow. Elder Wolcott was sick and has an infected sore on his leg. We spent most of the week at doctors trying to get him better. All the doctors want here is our money... and we learned that after the 3rd visit haha! On Saturday we were able to get a doctor that knew what he was doing and he fixed Elder Wolcott! He has been approved to get out and walk, so you better believe that is what we are going to do this next week!
We spent most of our week inside and that was not too exciting. I was able to read a lot, and watch the Restoration video probably 7 times!! We were not able to meet with anyone, but we talked to a couple members over the phone and were able to have a good conversation with one of our investigators, Sister Veronica. Please keep her in your prayers! Well that really is all for the week! I honestly felt like a dad the whole week. I had to run all over to get food and medicine, then make people food and give lots of blessings. It was definitely a good experience and one that I needed to have! I now understand my dads frustration when we would go out to eat as a family and each person wanted to eat at a different restaurant. He would run to 3 or 4 restaurants to get everyone food... I experienced that this week dad and I wanted you to know that!!! Well I love you all so much and hope you have an amazing week!! You are always in my prayers!!
Spiritual thought:
"Adversity and challenges often bring Unity"
This week we had a couple Elders who were sick in our apartment. They couldn't get out and move. We had to do some exchanges and make a lot of trips to the store to get food and other things for them. Our apartment has grown closer together because of this experience. I was able to have a full day running around serving and getting stuff for those that were sick, as well as making sure they were ok and comfortable and it was the best experience! I learned that true happiness really does come from serving others and forgetting about yourself. My challenge for all of you is to look for ways you can forget about yourself and serve someone and make their burdens a little lighter!
