Floating On Clouds. . .A Slow Week

MONDAY - We came early after shopping to email because we had a meeting at 1 at meandering way. We emailed and then headed to the meeting at 1, I was on the floor the entire time but it was a really good meeting. Afterwards President Durrant talked to me and asked if I wanted to see a doctor and I said "Yes I do" So they called and got permission for me to go, we came back to the church for a bit and then went to Taco Bell with Tim. I wasn't in the happiest mood.. We came back and went to bed.

TUESDAY - We got up and headed to the doctors at about 9, they ran some tests and came to the conclusion that I pulled a muscle and that there was a lot of inflammation so they gave me 3 meds to take that would relax all my muscles. We went to target and got the meds and I got a 15 dollar gift card from some coupon that Tim had so we got some other things I needed too. We headed back to the apartment and sister Durrant called and President Durrant and told me to rest till I could go out and work, so I did, I took the pills and I was floating on clouds. The Prices came and got us for dinner and asked how I felt and I felt amazing but I was completely out of it, we went to Charleys subs, worst place ever! That's alright it was with the Prices, best members ever :) They dropped me and elder Falk off at Mesquite till the ZL's could come get us, they did and I was still out of it, but it was Elder Beatty! I actually got to talk to Elder Rodriguez today, it was good. Then we headed home and I couldn't even walk straight, as soon as I got in I hit the sack.

 

WEDNESDAY - We woke up started studying and then got a call from President Grant who is in charge of the housing, he asked us to come with him to look around at apartments so we did for about 30 minutes, nothing really good in this area, one of the worst areas in Dallas. Then he took us to McDonald's after and we came back to the apartment and read and read and read. That was our day.

 

THURSDAY - We did the same today, we actually went and did laundry though today so we mixed it up a bit, other than that we read and read and read. Slept and slept and slept.

 

 FRIDAY - FRIDAY THE 13TH!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY APRIL!!!! 8 YEARS OLD!!! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELDER KERR!!! THE BIG 20!!! what a good day :) not... we did the same, rested and read. I have almost finished the book of Mormon in Spanish now, same with my companion. We had dinner with the Lloyds though which was fun, we went and enjoyed a meal over there and then of course they had to have a gameinformer laying on the couch with Master Chief staring right at me!!!! Its all good though, it will all be there when I get back, still its cool to see how fast time is going! We headed home and then the other elders thought it would be funny to make a surprise visit and come pounding on the door. They came to see how I was doing and then we were out side with Bundy, our black neighbor and we were all laughing just the way he talks, its so funny, yall should go to the state furr, hahaha, we were dying. 

 

SATURDAY - same old same old, I think we have seen finding faith in Christ and the Testaments and Mountain of the Lord and the Joseph Smith movie like 20 times each, and we are almost done with the book of Mormon. YUCK! I wanna get out and work.

 

SUNDAY - YES!!! we get to go to church! It was really good, Elder Dominguez translated and he taught the class after, kids coming out of his shell! We got done and headed home and waited for dinner, BK from HNO Castro, we ate and then fell asleep, and then hit the sack after waking up and realizing it was time for bed. What a week huh??? Full of excitement and lots of adventures. NOT! I'm feeling much better though, I'm ready to work hard, we are already half way through the transfer can you believe that! Time flies, I hit 11 months in a couple days, heading for the 1 year mark, crazy!
