All is well

Hello Loves!

This week has been quite a interesting one and this email may be a little shorter then others but all is well! This week i had to take a little midnight stroll to the ER. Not the greatest thing to start off with but none the less has to be addressed. Wednesday i started to feel really dizzy and sick but kept working, and then Thursday nothing was getting better just worse. My DR wanted me to go to the ER for blood tests and everything and i said nah i will just keep working. Well that day i went to stand up after taking a nap and fell right back down and gravity took over the rest ha. Sister Andersen said i was passed out in my bed for like 2 hours. I became a little nervous and decided to be humble and just go even though i didn't feel like it. Well after being checked into the ER i was on a IV and blood tests right away. 12am,1am,2am the Doctor came in and said all looked pretty normal but felt like we needed to also do a EkG. Ten min later he comes in very concerned that i had abnormal Twave inversions? i don't know medical people you can figure that out. But pretty much i didn't have enough oxygen getting to my heart and he said if i was a 50 year old male he would think i was having a heart attack haha comforting... Well 3am we finally got home and i was drained and went to sleep. The next morning they took me back to the hospital to have a stress test of my heart super fun! All these wires hooked up to me running on a treadmill and a echo. They aren't quite sure still whats wrong everything thing looks fairly normal .... so I'm a mystery case aka totally normal to me haha. But through all of this I remember one of my favorite hymns....

" Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard? Tis not so all is right! Why should we think to earn a great reward, if we now shun the fight? Gird up your loins fresh courage take, our God will never us forsake and soon we'll have this tale to tell all is well, all is well." As i continue to fight and smile through the bumps the Lord will be right by my side, all is well :)

A miracle in the mess...
David we met on chat and he had many theories about the church ha aka not true! But he could feel the spirit as we testified to him that God loved him and that this really could bless his life.... He accepted missionaries in...... IRELAND!! We taught him 2 days ago and look forward to speaking to him again!!

God loves your Daughter
We had a little tour yesterday with Elders and their investigators! My favorite cause the spirit is always there, this man was so shy with his wife and baby but they were so humble to learn. They had brought the family to church that day and the Elders were able to give a baby blessing! I looked at the father and said, do you know that blessing came from God? He said i dint know.... words cant express how i felt during that blessing. And I said, " God loves your daughter so much that he brought back his authority through a boy named Joseph Smith, so that you could have that moment." He just smiled and kinda put his head down the spirit was so strong and he is excited to learn more from these Elders!! YAY!

I know that I'm not perfect and still have a lot to improve on. But what i do know is that when we humble ourselves before the Lord, we can learn a lot in the midst of a "rough patch." ha I think I've learned to love them cause A I can learn a lot, B something good is coming around the corner if i keep the faith!

I love being a Missionary and how much joy it brings to the world. And I've really learned how far a smile can go, even when the road ahead looks a little grey!

Love you Alll :)
