Ankle is healed!
No biggie. Got a new Chiro, he's
great. He's also working with my muscles
doing therapy and breaking up scar tissue.
We'll see in a few weeks if its improving me or not. He used this new technology that measures
which vertibre are out of place. In my
back,
13 out of 24 are out.
Joy. Then they did a muscle spasm
test to see how stressed my muscles are.
They tested them one by one and as it turns out I am 98% spazmed. So Brett was right all those years when he
called me a spaz. My muscles are
cah-rAYzee tight and until we loosen 'em up, the bones wont stay in place. Yay for missionaries being treated for free
by members! One more blessing. This chiropractor serves as a high councelman
so I trust he's a pretty good guy. We
had Stake Conference on Saturday and Sunday and I was able to interpret for another
4 hours or so. Hope I'm getting
better...President Lewis came down for a the stake conference in our area and
he asked if he could take me and Sister Konou out to lunch!
We picked Olive Garden, and that was fun. So we ate lunch with the mission president,
that was kinda fun. Its hard to get a
lot of time with him because hes so busy and has 200 of us to watch over. I am thankful for President and his
sacrifice. He is truly an inspired man
of God.
Deaf pizza night was meh.
Deaf COFFEE night, however, was great.
No, I didnt buy any. But we
chatted with various deaf and non deaf people.
I asked the Jehovahs Witnesses all about what they offer and they told me about their services for the Deaf. Dang.
They have like 30 Deaf people going weekly. I kind of wish our church would offer better
services for Deaf people. They have all
KINDS of ASL DVDs and bible stories and interpreting provided. We're just
barely getting closed captioned offered on all of our websites. Its sad.
Deaf people kinda throw that in our faces and there isnt
much we can do to defend it.
Deaf Dianne (low ed black lady): Dianne got robbed of $800. She had just left the bank and she didnt hear
the guy behind her because shes deaf--he beat her up pretty good and stole all
the money she had in cash. She got 16
stitches and now she's facing a possible evitction because she didnt pay rent. We are praying she doesnt get evicted because
then we'll lose her! I really want to
keep teaching her, she's so ready for the gospel. Dianne is probably the most prepared Deaf
person for this gospel that Ive met thus far.
We taught her about Jesus Christ this week and she didnt know that Jesus
was Heavenly Father's Son, or that Mary was a virgin. I signed "Mary was just pregnant all of
a sudden. She did not have sex."
(Yay Deaf people! Gotta be straight up
with them or they dont get it! I love
that I dont have to sugar coat anything when I'm teaching Deaf.) Dianne loved
learning about all the miracles and power of Jesus Christ and she cant wait to
learn more! She came to church on
Sunday, too, and loved it. I think we
can teach her everything in time for maybe an August baptism.
Dan. Dan is
wonderful. He just needs to be
baptized. He had neck surgery on Friday
where they fused two of his vertibre together so we are hoping he can come to
church next week!! We went to see him in
the hospital but he was sent home early so we will see him next week!
Lynda Perkins: I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!!! Lynda is so spicy. She's really great and we were finally able
to get her a Book of Mormon and explain it all.
We showed her the Mormon.org website and she looked at us confused. "Yall are Mormons? I thought Mormons didn't believe in
God!" I just said "Well,
Lynda! YOU'RE the one who's been to our
church meetings twice. What do YOU
think?" She laughed and said
"Yeah! You do!" There ya go.
Of course we believe in God.
She's still surprised that the LDS people are Mormon. haha.
But she's already hooked! She
came to stake conference as well and loved it.
I love Lynda. She's like a new
best friend. We laugh and cry together.
I am surprised at the number of illiterate people we
meet. There are so many people who can't
read very well. You hand them a bible or
a book of mormon and they struggle. Even
the ones who claim that they are comfortable with Bible language or study. What a blessing we have to be well-read
citizens who are comfortable with our ability to read and comprehend!! There are also a lot of homeless people. Such a huge problem here...
Well loved ones, I LOVE YOU! Thanks for the letters and emails and
prayers. The summer is HOT, but Im doing
my best!!
