BEPREPARED this email will kill you
with boringness.
This past week has been a week. Let
me give all you future and current missionaries a lesson.
In Preach My Gospel it says to
always be willing to yield to your companion as they are following
promptings from the Spirit. Last Monday, we were walking and I saw
our investigators' house and felt we should stop by even though we
hadn't planned to. But, I didn't tell Sister Francisquete exactly
my thoughts because I knew she would just follow me anyway, hah. I
just said, "Dito tayo muna" and pointed with my lips to
the home of the Dagohoy family as I began walking in that
direction. She followed. But, as I later found out, she doubted
me. She was distracted as she thought, "Sister Mecham forgot
our plans. We didn't plan to go here. What is she doing? Crazy
lady." As that was happening inside her brain, she didn't see
a rather steep step and fell to her doom. Not really, but she did
sprain her ankle.
So, for the past week we have barely
left the apartment because she can't walk. The doctor prescribed
main pills and REST. FOR TWO WEEKS. But it's okay. This happened
for a reason. It's just mainly the worst because we didn't come
here to rest. We came here to WORK. But we can't work if she can't
walk so we need to rest. Upside: I'm finally getting closer to
finishing the Old Testament! That's some weird stuff. But we were
slightly disobedient to the doctor and worked for one afternoon
(which was sloooowwww and apparently excruciatingly painful)
and we found a few new families to teach because of how weirdly
she was walking! That's some good stuff.
That is literally all that happened
this week. Transfers are getting closer and I'm not excited.
There's no alternative. I have to transfer from Palawan and I
really don't want to BUT I know that I will be sent to where the
Lord wants me. I just have to keep working to align my will with
His. And the Burts (senior couple) got emergency transferred to
Manila so all the missionaries on Palawan will die anyway without
them. So I'm cool with it.
Hah, sorry about the boring letter.
Love you all! Good luck out there!
