This
week i had the visit from patti and her friends and i loved it. even
though she came up and embarrassed me by giving my a huge hug and
yelling Nate at the top of her lungs. In the middle of a square might i
add! haha it was so nice to get things from home though! After that i
had to catch a bus back and teach District meeting which was pretty
good.
But that is where the Week went bad starting on wednesday
morning. Elder Ort got a phone call from home that said one of his good
friends passed away. And we know that is never a welcomed or happy
thing for anyone especially a missionary. And to add to it I woke up
with a little cold. We then went to shadow the sisters for a little bit
of the day but ended up coming home at lunch and i spent a lot of time
at home over the next 3 days.
On thursday
i spent the morning asleep and then tried to go out but it hit even
harder and sent me home early to take some niquil and go to bed. As for friday
i stayed in my bed and near the toilet all day long. I think that my
cold was actually the flu and it hit me the hardest out of all the other
missionaries that had it. I still have it today and it has come back
with all the aches and pains this time! I havent been so sick for a long
time and almost never on my mission. I mean i have had a little cold
here and there but was always able to work through it but this one made
me bed ridden for a bit. it was the worst thing in the whole world. i
didnt even have time to prepair any lesson for District meeting or
anything because i just slept the whole time!I am doing a little better
and i know that through out the week i will return to normal.
I
just want to thank you so much for all the prayers and love you send my
way. it is much needed each and everyday. I will say missionary work is
not easy but it is so worth it. Wilford Woodruff once said on the topic
of Obedience "Obedience Is never an easy task, but it is worth it". I
just want you to know that i love this gospel and all that it teaches
us. it is so important to accept it but yet nnot many do and it breaks
my heart. at times me and Elder Ort catch our selves getting mad at
people for not accepting and we wish they would just realize how much
they need it in their lives. But in reality that is why we all have
Agency. But we just pray and hope they accept soon. I love you and hope
that you have a great week. Please be safe. I LOVE YOU!!!
Love
Elder Nathanial Woodruff!
