Lo'u Aiga,
This week has been busy as!
It
has been raining like crazy!!! Like blue sky for ten minutes and then
torrential random down pours sporadically throughout the day! So we
were leaving Steven and Geoff and Merina's house on Monday night and
Lualua falls and hits her head and it knocks her out. We get home and
she can't walk right, and she is having trouble remembering where she
puts things and talking in English, and got so mad at me when I wouldn't
let her go to sleep. Just a side note Sister Lualua NEVER (never never
never) gets mad at me. SO this is really weird for her! She wouldn't let
me call Sister Rudd. She kept saying, "I need a blessing, I need a
blessing" but would get so mad when I tried to call the elders.
So
in the morning i helped her find her shoes, bag, brush, and we went to
district meeting where she acted like a wacko and I talked to the zone
leaders about giving her a blessing. We told them the situation and they
told me to call Sister Rudd no matter what she said or did!! LOL!!! I
called Sister Rudd, she said take her to the hospital. We went to the
hospital, Sister Lualua couldn't remember what we were doing.
The
doctor didn't even do a scan or anything, they tried to ask her
questions but when they realized she was crazy and couldn't remember
anything they just talked to me. They told me it was a concussion and if
she couldn't remember me the next day bring her back! YOU ARE JOKING!!!
Lol
we drove home, and she kept trying to convince me to go other places
rather than the flat. That made me laugh and then she got mad at me for
laughing!! She refused to leave the car. It took me 30 minutes to get
her out of the car and then another 3 to get her to lay down in the
bedroom!! We had to spend 3 days in the flat... it took her that long to
act normal again!!!
(Side note before the next
paragraph, There aren't enough sisters in the Samoan program anymore so
we have been trying to guess which area President Rudd would close for
the sisters... okay go)
I was worrying about
our investigators and about our ward so I called President Rudd during
companionship study on Thursday (since my companion was sleeping off her
concussion I just had personal study all day). We talked things over
and
he said to me "well stop worrying because both you and Sister Lualua are
being transferred. You are going to Manurewa 1st to be with Sister
Puaina and Lualua is going to Alema ward with Sister Ete. So get all
your investigators taken care of" BAHAH!!! President Rudd!!
There
was lots of drama with the ward and the elders this weekend as well... I
won't explain it here... It sufficeth me to say that the elders were
very disobedient and are being taken out of the area as well. So our
ward will no longer have missionaries in it. We will have to refer all
of our investigators to the English elders.
Thank
you so much for your prayers... they were really needed this week!!! I
know that trials come and sometimes they seem completely impossible. But
Heavenly Father gives them to us so that we can expand ourselves and
become more like Jesus Christ. For every situation you can either
respond in a Christlike way or an unchristlike way. If you think of it
that way and break everything down small like that, I find it's easier
to take on challenges. I know Heavenly Father loves us and through all
of these challenges he is standing right beside us. Look for miracles in
your week!
Manuia lou vaiaso!!
Alofa tele atu,
Sista Peo
