Good
week this week!! We got out and about and I was even off my crutches
for a full 48 hours... and then I fell of the sidewalk and rolled my
ankle... the same ankle... we were about a block from the car and we
were trying to hop back to it when Elder Van Theil (zone leader) and
Elder Barbosa drove by and saw us struggling. We asked them to go grab
my crutch from the car but they did one better and just brought the car
to me. I was given strict instructions to go home and rest... again...
sigh.
The ward was worried as about me when
they saw me on Sunday STILL on my crutches. Everyone kept coming up to
me and telling me to go to their house after our fafaga so that they
could Fofo (Samoan form of healing, sometimes like a massage...) it. But
I had heard stories about fofo for sprained ankles and that they
were extremely painful... that's why I didn't let someone do it last
week. But this week, we went over to Mauli'o's house and got a fofo... I
had heard stories that people use their heels to fofo sprained ankles
and push so hard on the ankle in order to pop it back into place and
that people just bawl their eyes out... but Brother Mauli'o was very
careful and used his hands!! WHEW!! He popped it back into place and the
swelling has gone down heaps!! So we will go back and get one more
tonight. :)
We got 5 new investigators this
week!!! Mark we just taught the restoration!! He is 16 and Methodist,
teaching him was a crack up because he couldn't understand my accent!! I
would say something, and he wouldn't understand, then Sister Seiuli
would say THE EXACT SAME THING and he would understand!! We were
laughing so hard about it later!!!
London is 14
she lives in a foster home with social workers... she is allowed to
visit our ward mission leaders house (her grandparents) for a few hours
every Tuesday, we explained a little about who we were and what our
message is and she wanted us to come back this week and share it with
her!! She is a sweet heart!! :)
I think that's about it!!
Thank you so much for your love and prayers!!
Miracles happen every day!!
