Week 42

  July 21, 2014

Friends & Family,

Hahaha this week was great. Let me just start off with a funny, dumb, Jaymee moment... SO I wake up and get ready.. I flipped my hair.. like a head bang I guess, to dry my hair a little faster..... then I look at my companion and start BAWLING like a baby.. she is like what is going on, Hermana are you okay. I say no, I think I broke my back... for real. We need to go to the urgent care... she was like WHAT? okay... but then we sat there thinking.. I probably just threw it out and there is nothing really you can do except heat, ice, Advil, etc.. SO I WAS LIKE GREAT... okay I'm not even old yet and I'm throwing my back out. Thanks dad.. just kidding. hahaha but anyways so I literally couldn't move. My companion fed me, dressed me..... isn't she great? I'll keep her! haha But I decided to call the Elders and they came and gave me a blessing... It was an amazing blessing. So that day we were supposed to have a meeting with 2 other sets of missionaries and it was 1 hour away... 25 minutes after the Elders left I texted them and said I am so sorry I really don't think I can sit in a car for 1 hour, just go without us. He texted me back and said.. it has only been 25 minutes.. do what the blessing said and HAVE FAITH.. then let us know how you feel. So I picked up my Book of Mormon and started to read it. I was reading in Mormon chapter 9. It was talking about miracles and how we know there is a God and how he works miracles.. It related to me perfectly. So I just got up and started SLOWLY feeling better. I didn't heal right away but slowly I felt better. I called the Elders 10 minutes after and said okay come pick us up. We are ready!! :) It was such an amazing example that blessings are real and the Book of Mormon is SO TRUE!!!!! It's CRAZY! It strengthened my testimony so deeply! I am so blessed to have worthy men all around me so whenever I need them they are there to help!! I feel so blessed and I love this church so much! I love the doctrine and all His teachings! They all make sense! :)

Nothing besides that happened this week so I am going to talk about one of my favorite things on my mission!! well two things.. I started eating really healthy.. and my favorite thing to make for lunch is a veggie sandwich. ITS DELICIOUS.. it's just wheat bread with hummus, salt, pepper, onions, lettuce, green, red and yellow peppers.... IT IS THE BEST!!! haha I love being on my mission cause I can cook for myself and learn how to eat healthier.. haha :) Okay second thing.. I love meeting new people and seeing them progress and come closer to the Lord. I love seeing the spirit worketh within them! This is the most amazing opportunity to see the change in people! I Love being a missionary, yeah things are really hard but it is SO worth it! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!!!!!!
