Hola familia y amigos!
Well this week was a little uneventful because we spent a lot of time in
the house. My knee is doing better, it's still a little swollen now and again and
some days are better than others .I just have to rest it. It's like if I think it
feels good and we go out to work and I walk too much it gets swollen and hurts
again. So there were a couple days when I said "I feel fine!" but everyone
else told me no! "You need to rest!" So we spent a lot of time studying, and Hna B reorganized the entire house while I sat on a mattress on the floor. She wouldn't let me stand up, she had to do everything for me. She really is very
selfless and patient. I'm so grateful for her!
But yeah, I think that today and tomorrow I'll be able to leave to work
like a normal missionary! Maybe not for the whole day, but for a good amount of
time. I've been taking medications and putting on cremes and taking Ibuprofen a
lot too, and I feel good.I also bought a knee brace today so now I dont feel
like my knee is going to buckle out from under me when I walk.
This week we had intercambios with the hermanas lideres on Tuesday! Hna B's first intercambio! She was a little nervous haha. So she went with
the Latina hermana to their sector; her first Latina! and I stayed with Hermana
H who is actually from my group. We went out and taught some menos activos, M & M and it was a great lesson! Then we went back to the house
for my knee.... but it felt really good to teach again.
On Wednesday we left to work too in the afternoon, we visited a good amount
of people and we visited a part member family and the hermano had Hna
B show off her wood chopping skills, and he was pretty impressed. I'm
sure he has a little crush on her now because he lent her his guitar so she
could play in our house. Now we have a guitar and that's pretty sweet!
Thursday my knee hurt so we spent a lot of time inside. Friday we helped
paint a new preschool and we got to paint little cartoons all over the walls it
was the cutest. But that involved a lot of crouching and bending of the knee so
the next day we didnt leave at all cause it hurt so bad. Sunday we made it all
the way through church and we sang in a musical number with some other ward
members. I'm pretty sure the ward is tired of me because I've sung like 4 times
already....
So there`s not much to report... just trying to get better. and reallyI do
feel better. oh and this week we have cambios! But of course Hna. B and I are staying together and we are really excited. Hna R is going to Los Lagos and guess who`s coming here to be Hna. Br's companion and live in the
house with us??.... Hermana E!!!!!! my companion in Valdivia!!!! I'm so
excited, its going to be awesome, and it will be great to have a Latina in the
house to help Hna B, and really all of us with our Spanish. I just
hope Hna. Espinoza doesnt destroy the house... I like our house here!! haha.
I'm happy, I'm okay! thanks for all the prayers and advice. I promise I'm
trying to be good and not overdoing it. By next week I think I'll be fine. I'm
really happy to be here in Puerto Varas with Hna. B and to be a
missionary. I know that Heavenly Father is taking care of me, everything happens
for a reason and I have faith that everything will be fine.
Thanks for all the emails!
love, Hermana Williams
