Hey hey hey, so if some of
you didn't know, I'm a very, very, very clumsy person hahaha :D And
likewise this week I busted up my ankle pretty nice. Like the whole foot
was purple and bruised, and everything was like a giant pumpkin all
puffy and just lovely right? Even my little piggys were swollen, I was
freaking out! I knew I had done a number on it! That night my Branch
President came by our room and checked it out and said for sure it was
broken... I was sad. I thought for sure I'd have to be delayed and I was
feeling terrible about myself. But then my amazing companion and best
friend Elder Gardiner asked if I wanted a blessing. I knew that
blessings can do miraculous things so I quickly accepted. It was so
inspiring to see 8 young man change out of their comfortable pajamas and
get dressed to do the work of the Lord. When they all gathered around
me I knew Heavenly Father would take care of me. The prayer and blessing
Elder Gardiner gave me changed my life forever. If you ask anyone in
that room, Elder Gardiner disappeared and the Lord was speaking to me.
Like the language used was just so formal and elegant and amazing, like
no offense to Elder Gardiner but he just doesn't talk like that. So I
knew it was someone else speaking, I knew it was through God's divine
power I was given that blessing. It was so comforting and I was promised
I would be healed according to my faith. So I did exactly that. I went
to get my x-ray the next day and despite what everyone said it isn't
broken. I strongly feel that it really was, and that through the blessing
it was healed. But I know the Lord loves to test me and just make me
stronger so he didn't heal all of it, I still have a gnarly sprain but
hey, "beggers can't be choosers" (something like that (: ) But yeah,
the doctor also told me I'd be out for 3-4 weeks and not walking on it
for about a week and a half, but you know me and know I don't like being
held back so I ended up being able to walk that day (: I know this is
because my Savior loves me and I'm doing His work. I want you all to
remember that faith is everything. It drives us to change. To serve our
Lord. To do things we never thought possible and even to work miracles
in Christ's name. I know that my Redeemer lives. I know He loves us with
all His soul and we can do all things through Him. I love Him that much. I
love everything about life right now. Even the painful parts. It's
awesome to be a missionary.
