That sounds like a fun week! I can't believe that It's already almost summer again! Yes, we already met with President Gamiette. We met with him on Wednesday in Castires and had a great Zone Conference. That will be my last time in an interview with Him...:( I ho[e the next mission Presient is cool. He'll be coming into the mission in about 3 or 4 weeks. My lupus symptoms are alright. I am getting better at noticing flares, and I can get to sleep earlier. I think Lupus could be the reason that I struggled to wake up on time for so long back home.
This week was rough! I'll start you out from Monday. So last P-Day Elder Jordan and I cleaned our apartment, did laundry, ate, went shopping, and e-mnailed, and we still had like 5 hours left of P-Day. So we decided to go down to a river (The same one that I sent a picture of where I'm swinging on a vine.), and get some mangos, coconuts, fivefinger, starfruit, and papayas to keep at the house. We were having a great time and getting lots of fruit when I spotted some AMAZING mangos on a near by tree. I told him that I was going to climb up and get them, then we could go home. I got to the tree and started to climb. (The tree was pretty awkward. The trunk of the tree almost made a sideways "S". That's just how it grew I guess.) I got about 20 - 25 feet up off the the ground (Mango trees can reach almost 80 feet sometimes.....), I was in an awkard position, I was holding on to a branch in my left hand and one in my right, and my feet were both on the same branch. (I was making a "Y" with my body.) so I tried to shift my weight to get up to a more secure spot on the tree, and thats when it happened. I felt the branch that me feet were on give way and break off the tree. My momentum carried me and all my weight swinging to the left, which caused the branch I was holding on to with my left hand to break. My momentum then carried me to the right, and that's when the last branch broke. I free fell about 15 feet, hit the "S" part of the trunk, and bounced the rest of the way down to the ground and crushed a small sapling. Elder Jordan heard me yell, and came running over. I got a cut on my knee and I had the wind knocked out of me, but I'm okay. :)
Now here's the reason that story is important....On Thursday, Elder Jordan and I were out teaching and I felt a sharp pain in my left foot every time I took a step. I called the mission nurse and told her about the mango tree and she told me to go inside and stay there. So We stayed in from thursday morning until Today. I have to call her again and see if I have to go get x-Rays or something. I don't think it's that bad, but The mission nurse is in charge of that, so I'll keep you posted.
Other than that, The week was great! I love to stay inside our apartment and not help people repent and not teach anyone the gospel for 4 days! It's fantastic!! (SaRcAsM!)
Yes, I got my priesthood line of authority. Thank you for sending that. :)
This is week 5 of the Transfer, so Transfer calls won't be this Saturday, but next saturday. No worrie4s, I'll be sure to let you know where I'm going or if I'm staying.
Thanks Mama!
I love ya!! (Ps, I get to skype again this time, so I'll let you know next week on all the details.)
Love,
Brad
