This week I learned a great lesson. First I will tell you the lesson, and then what happened.
I learned by very small and simple things, big things can happen. And sometimes, they aren't good. We really have to think about our choices before we make them. Think about the big picture and what could happen. I learned that Sometimes things can look harmless, but in fact be bad for you.
Now for what happened.
One day, it was ridiculously hot here. My companion and I were drenched in sweat. I saw a tree with giant beautiful leaves, so, I picked one to fan myself. I thought I was brilliant. Well, the next morning, I woke up in hives. Yes my lovely friends and family, it was a leaf from an Almond tree, you know, one of the things I am allergic to. So, off to the hospital (a few times). The doctors ordered for me to stay inside because the sun would make it 10x as worse. So, My poor companion and I had to stay home a lot of the week. It making working really hard because we couldn't really go out of our house until the sun was almost down, and we have to be home by 8:30. So, we would have about an hour to work some days... and most of our work is about a half hours walk away... So, it was really tough. But, I am getting better and all is well. So don't worry too much. And now i know what an almond tree looks like so I wont touch it again.
Lets see, what else happened this week. Oh! One of our amazing couples was progressing really great. And then, turns out they aren't married... So, looks like their baptism wont be for a little while longer. But they are wonderful and love listening and learning. And they are changing. Its amazing. They were going to come to church this Sunday, and then someone in their family had a big accident and they had to help them. Its so sad how Satan works to get people to not do the right. They were so excited and really wanted to go.
One of our other investigators is about 23 and is studying to be a doctor. At first he wasn{t sure, but every time we go he is more and more excited and he loves asking questions. He came to church Sunday. In Sunday school, something was mentioned about not drinking coffee, and he was like, why? And then the teacher explained because it was a revelation and a commandment that we shouldn't. And he was like, wow, that's interesting, because they{re finding that it has things in it that are really bad for your body. It was pretty cool. He is really interested. Its great.

That's about all I can think of for this week. We were stuck in the house a LOT. But life is good and the work continues forward. I love being a missionary even though sometimes its tough, but its a lot easier when you rely on our savior. He is always there for us. Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week. And keep studying you preach my gospel!!!
