Hey everyone!
So this past week has been pretty great. We were able to pick up a couple of new investigators despite how i have been feeling physically, and we were able to continue helping those recent converts in our ward make it to the temple Aug. 20.
We are still teaching the man who is Jewish. His name is Itai and he is a really great guy who has been letting all we have shared soak in. For most of the lessons in the past, he has been very quiet and listening intently to what we say, but last week he came out and told us what was on his mind. He said to us he has felt the truth of what we have been teaching, and the good spirit that he says we ahve brought into his home, and he has found no fault with the Book of Mormon. He is also wanting to feed us and another famiyl from the ward who have been helping us with the teaching process.
The new people we found last week are really open to hearing the restored gospel and they have already been reading the Book of Mormon. Same old same old...but they are awesome.
So...I kinda over-exerted myself and the hernia came back. Its a little bigger and a little more painful, but i'm dealing with it as best as i can. I didn't understand how irritating a hernia could be. There were a few factors for why it came back, but the main one was this one time i vomitted pretty violently and i felt through my skin trying to get out. Suffice it to say that did not feel good at all.
Elder Andersen and the other elders in the apartment have been really good about keeping me cheerful.
There have been some other crazy stuff that has happened. So, Saturday night Elder Andersen called a recent convert family that he ahd previously taught in an area here in Springfield at the beginning of his mission and they took us out to dinner to Golden Corral. It was such a blast with tons of laughs and their 6 kids had busting a gut all throughout dinner. Then, as we were walking out we somehow got onto the conversation that we drive a minivan and how cool we were to have it :) Then the mom, Sis. Howald, was like, "I love stow-n-go seating" and Elder Andersen thought he would be a cool guy started modeling the minivan and the stow-n-go seating even though he didn't know how to work it well. So he's fiddling around with it and gets his finger stuck in a metal crevace of the seat somehow and gets a little freaked. He thought for a second he would have be like the guy who got his arm stuck beneath a boulder and had to saw it off with a swiss army knife and take his finger off, but gladly that was not the case. We were finally able to get his finger out and his finger was sliced pretty deep on both sides to the point where you can see a lot of fatty tissue. I don't know why it was funny, but how it looked just had all of us laughing, even Elder Andersen. After that, we went to the emergency and they super glued his finger back together and know he's doing great.
Well, thats all for now. I love all of you and pray for each of you.
