On Saturday I started having stomach problems again and
this time it was bad. My stomach was
growling so frequently and so loudly that it was disruptive to class. I thought I had just had something bad to eat,
but Monday rolled around and it was still happening, and I was eating pretty
healthy. So on Monday I made an
appointment to see the doctor on Tuesday morning. I found out that it was
caused by stress. You know how some
people get migraines from stress, well I learn my body reacts with loud stomach
growling. When the doctor told me that,
it made a lot of sense. The doctor was
able to give me some medicine that is helping a ton.
On Monday, my companion Sister Sewell asked for a Priesthood
blessing. Right after her blessing, I
knew I needed a blessing of healing for my stomach. After the blessing my stomach didn't instantly
feel better, but it became more durable until I was able to go to the
doctor.
On Tuesday I used a study technique my instructor taught me.
First you think of a topic you want to
study. Then you randomly open up your Book of Mormon and start ready. I did that on stress and I was able to find my
answer. And of course you start with a
prayer. We say a lot of prayers here,
but it has taught me how important prayer is. Yesterday was altogether overwhelming. I felt so discouraged, but the minute I took a
moment to say a prayer I felt better. Not completely better, but somewhat
better. I'm so grateful for the priesthood, prayer, and scripture study.
It is blessing my life so much on my mission.
I know it can bless you no matter where you are or what you are
doing.
Now for the highlights of the week. My district was able to
host this week. It was so much fun and I
was able to help two sisters who will leave before I even leave. On Tuesday
night we had an amazing devotional about the impact we hold as missionaries. Following
that we had a district meeting in which we were able to share our thoughts on
it. It was an incredible meeting and you
could feel the spirit swelling within the room. My district is full of amazing
people. There are two districts of missionaries that came in the week I did. I
know the way we were divided was inspired of God. I love being on a mission and even though
there are some bumps in the road, I know this is what my Father in Heaven wants
me to be doing.
Just a little side note, we have service twice a week and
this week at service the person who was assigning us jobs served in the Rancho
Vista Ward in Palmdale, California at the end of his mission. How cool is
that?!
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to serve my Heavenly
Father and to help others come unto Christ.
