Well... I am ALIVE!!!
But seriously it wasn´t as bad as I thought it would be. I just was super sleepy the whole week because of the medicine that I was taking. But I am off that and I am walking and working again! YAY!!! But I truly feel blessed and feel as though I was strengthened by all of your prayers for me. THANK YOU!!! Also all the ward members took such good care of me this week. They brought us over lots of food, they came and visited me, they called to check up on me and everything. Also lots of the sisters in the ward were willing to go on divisions so that my companion could leave and work for a bit each day. And Sister Acosta came to be my companion during the week, and we had a great time reading the Liahonas and sharing spiritual experiences. Also we have had lots of members offer to take us to appointments in their cars so I didn´t have to walk much. So lets just say I was pretty spoiled this week. I also went to the doctor again today with Sister McMullin to check my leg and everything. The doctor said that everything was good, and I just need to be patient and that I will probably be bruised for a couple more weeks. But the good news is that scorpions here in Paraguay arn´t that dangerous... I mean it could have been worse. And it was funny because the doctor reminded me of a part in the movie Indiana Jones when he tells his friend who got stung by a scorpion that the bigger they are the less poisonous they are. I totally remember that!!! But I am just so happy that I can leave and work now. The time flies when you are working, and the exact opposite when you are stuck in a bed all day. But I want you all to know that I am okay and super happy!
Well I don´t have much to write about this week, because it was pretty uneventful. But we did have a great lesson yesterday with a less active family. The 2nd counselor and his wife came along with us, and the spirit was so strong as we all got to testify of The Book of Mormon. I am so grateful to live at this time when we have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I feel so blessed to be able to share this beautiful message with all the people here in Paraguay. I know with all my heart that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true Church of God, and was restored to the earth by His humble servant Joseph Smith. I know that the Lord´s Prophet, Joseph, translated the Book of Mormon, and I know that it was written for us in our days. It is such a marvelous thing!
Thank you for all your love and prayers. Have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Sanders
