Crazy Week!

Dear family and friends!

This has been a wonderful week for me! I'm really enjoying every second of my mission. I've really been doing well.   I'm trying to take advantage of every single day I have as a missionary since I'm over a third done already and it has FLOWN by!

Not much really happened on Monday or Tuesday, but Wednesday was the most insane day of my whole mission I think!  We got a phone call from one of our investigators that morning saying we could come by and help her out with some service at 11:00. So, at 11:00 we went over in our service clothes to help her and her cousin out. When we pulled up there was an ambulance, a firetruck, and six cops outside her park. Knowing that she had just been released from the hospital about 36 hours previous, Elder Sweeten jokingly said something like, "Please don't be our investigator..."   We went to her trailer, and her cousin was sitting there crying because it was her who went to the hospital.  She had been cutting herself so her cousin called the cops to get her to stop.  Our investigator (I'll just call her

Mary) called us about 15 minutes later telling us to come to the hospital and visit with her and get her a little calmer.   She isn't allowed to have any visitors other than clergy, so we were allowed to visit her! There was this one lady in the hospital that was furious! She was shouting as loud as she could at the nurses, "I want water, chocolate milk, my granddaughter, my grandson, and my grandfather!!! Where's your boss?" --Just freaking out!   She was so furious that they had to handcuff her to the bed. They eventually gave her a shot and knocked her out, but we were all laughing pretty hard the whole time. We got her ( Mary) to go from crying and being upset to happy and laughing and positive in the course of about an hour and a half. We asked if there was anything we could do for her and she told us that she needed some extra storage space. We called around and got ahold of someone with a shed he would be willing to donate. We went and checked it out. It was a 6x8 shed, but we needed some way to get it to Mary's house. We called Stan and he volunteered to drive his truck around for us. Then we called Brother Holyoak and asked to borrow his trailer. We got there and we called a couple of other missionaries to help lift it. We got it all moved and put back behind their house and everything. They were so happy about this shed! They've got tons more space in their tiny little house now!

It's awesome!

I don't have much more time to write, but this week was incredible!  Every single day was just like that one though! We were super busy the whole time. It was awesome! I love my mission like crazy! I love the Lord, and I have been gaining a greater and greater appreciation for him every single day! Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for thy good. D&C
