Well
well well, I'm not even sure we're to start this weekly email. his week
my gums on the left side of my mouth, both top and bottom were inflamed and it
hurt all week!! The only thing that would make it feel better was when I drank
some cool water. This helped me drink more water then I have ever in my life.
Over the course of one day I would drink around 160 oz of water. This was
like every day, just so my gums wouldn't kill me.
This week was also transfers so I got a new companion. His name is Elder
Paul. I don't know him too well yet, but I am sure he is great. Before transfers
elder Elliott and I didn't do much. He just wanted to say bye to some people so
went all over. It was fun. Wednesday was transfers. After the transfer meeting, I let
elder Paul get situated. Then we went with the other Elders to meet a crazy
lady they have been helping. When we got close to the place where she was staying,
she was already walking towards us. She told us that she had a missionary
opportunity for us. As we walked with her she was talking about this pastor who
was ready for the gospel. So I thought we would be just going to his house and
talking with this guy but I was greatly mistaken. We walked right up to their church. So at this point I thought we were meeting him there, but as we were
walked in we saw that there was a session going on so we sat down and joined
them for a few minutes. The lady walks right up to the pastor, gives him a Book
of Mormon, and our phone number, and then we left. Ha ha it was kinda crazy. Then we walked
back with this lady to her house and she gives us food for dinner. All of a
sudden this ice cream truck pulls up out of nowhere. These ice cream trucks are
famous for DC. They are called weed wagons. People call them that because with
all the other normal goodies that they sell, they also sell drugs out of them. While
we continue to talk to the lady about this, she gets this look of disgust, and she walks
right up to this truck and starts flirting with the guy, trying to get
information from him. She walks back and tells us to write down the license plate
info. This lady is insane! We did not want to get wound up into some problems
with the drug lords. Good thing nothing happened. We started walking back
and when we almost got back home 8 police cars went flying by back the from
where we came from. Hope it wasn't related.
The next day we had district meeting after district meeting we headed to
lunch and then went home. My mouth was in lots of pain so I did not want to
leave the apartment so we did weekly planning. We finally made it out of the
apartment to go to dinner. Dinner was miserable! Each bite I just wanted to rip
out all of my teeth. At the end I started to feel sick as soon as we got home so I
went straight to bed. I would slept wonderfully but my body wanted that food
out of my stomach, so I woke up around 11 and had to relieve myself out of my
face, to put it nicely. This happened every couple of hours through the night but
nothing was coming out after the first time. Even the next day I still had a
few episodes where my roommates, who were downstairs, were wondering if I would
live through it or not(it's pretty funny looking back on it). I stayed in bed for the rest of that day. The only thing that made it better was that my companion and one
per roommate had gotten sick as well. It was a tough missionary work week. We did get rested up though.
Other then that I did have pretty crazy thing happen. On one of the
nights I started to feel better, we witnessed a car chase. It was freaking
crazy hahah I'll send you the video. I'm not sure if mom would find it cool
till I was home if you know what I mean.
