I may or may not have sprained my ankle. okay I
did. but I'm fine. Its like a mini-sprain. Not a big deal
really...I just thank the Lord that I over-prepare and I happened to have an
ace bandage with me that I've been carrying from place to place for 10
months. Still walking, just a small limp. I'm sure to be healed in
a few days. Not even sure HOW I sprained it, it just started
hurting...weird.
The work here is picking up and we added a new Deaf lady
here but she's looooooow education. Its so hard to teach concepts to
people like that, but we are doing our best! I gave her the childrens DVD
so we'll see if she likes it! We had zone conference last week and I was
in a men's quartet. That was fun! We sang "Brightly Beams Our
Father's Mercy" and I did the high tenor part. We talked about
sacrifice as a mission and I decided I needed to give up a few things. My
blonde streak being one of them. I'm very sad about this, a silly
thing to be sad about you might think, but Ive become attatched. I
told the Lord that I would give it up to look more like a disciple of Jesus
Christ so I am telling all of you to keep myself accountable. I am giving
up a few other things as well and striving to be better. We also got
touch phones at Zone Conference which I'm not really fond of. I've
decided I just dont like technology that much. I hate having to slide and
hit with my finger because half the time it doesnt work. Anyway, guess
thats the way the world is going and we have to keep up! They're not
iPhones, just the Sprint Rumor ones.
I've found another Chiropractor down here because my hip is
out again. He's LDS and says he will treat me for free so we'll see
how that goes. I'm honestly in need of one, I can't slide all the way
back to where I was and I can feel the difference between good and bad
spine health. The Lord is watching over me though and I know He loves His
missionaries!!
I was on an episode of "Hoarders" this week.
not really. But we DID clean a house of a lady who hoards way more
stuff than she should. She had drawers full of plastic bags and her son
has so many toys its rediculous. She even wanted to keep a broken
plate. Watching the TV Show actually helped me know how to better
organize her house and help her throw away stuff. We found our weekly
service for the next 2 months. :) We spent 3 hours in her kitchen
and it still needs another 3, but its better. Once again I am thankful
for my Mother who taught me to clean and organize even though I'm not
perfect at it. This lady's life is going to change and be better with our
help of teaching her how to clean. She wants to be better too, knows that
it got out of hand so its good she's willing to change.
Remember that Deaf investigator in Carmichael who was so depressed because she was paralyzed and bed-ridden? She's decided to be baptized!! YAAAAAAYYY!!!!!! June 24th. I will get to drive up to see it, too, so I'll send pictures in a few weeks. I am so happy for her and hope she will not be my last Deaf baptism here!
I was really struck by specific scriptures this week. Ether 12:12,16,18:
"For if there be no faith among the children of men God
can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after
their faith. Yea, and even all they who wrought miracles wrought them by
faith, even those who were before Christ and also those who were after.
And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith;
wherefore they first believed in the Son of God." The reason I
survived my struggles at birth was because of the faith of my parents and
family. I am a living miracle. I'm not supposed to be alive, and
the only reason I am living is because of the Priesthood held by my Father who
blessed me. Thank you family for having enough faith to create the
miracle that is my life. I am grateful for the Priesthood and the
blessings I see in our family because of it. I am happy to have had a
chance to live and be tested with this body and spirit. I love the joy
and pain that I can experience here on earth. Because I wasn't capable of
having faith as a baby, I know that the reason I'm alive is because of all of
you. Thank you.
Onward ever onward!
love, Sister Wilson

solved.
