Throwing Up & Getting Assaulted
What up family!!!
Wow so where to start
off. Remember how I told you we ate Columbian food for my comp last pday, in
this little shop and everything? Yeah, well, threw that all up. Later that
night, last Wednesday, I just needed to throw up, I felt soo bad, and it turns
out, so did all the other gringos! My comp was perfectly fine though, so we
were all suffering, Thursday we literally couldn’t get out of bed, just all
were quarantined in a room. Just 3 elders, sick, all in the same bed, on the
floor, just kind of miserable. So that was fun! But, I recovered. Just never
eating Columbian food again!
Today for pday we went
and played bowling which was fun! They play American music too, so that’s a bonus!
I suck at bowling, I just mess around, and its super fun! Got a solid like 4 strikes
though! Then had some McDonalds, which man, I love America. God bless America.
Oh yeah, last night! We
were walking on this street, these two like 10 year olds go up to this girl in
front of us, and rob her, steel all her stuff and like molested her, touched he
inappropriately. I was pissed. I went up to them, and told them to get out of
here, this little kid came up and nailed me in the leg! Like hard, and I almost
dropped the little guy. I was PISSED. This kid was a shrimp and I was so close
to slugging him, then this adult, yes, adult in the car was looking around in
his car franticly, I thought it was a gun so I decided best not and told them
to leave. I was just amazed`. How sad it is, that little kids are robbing
people, that society can be so bad. We walked the girl to her house, she was
crying, she was like 15 and going to work on a school project. Humanity, man,
it is so sad.
But I learned a big
lesson. I was just disgusted with humanity, with this society, what we live in,
and I guess I just figured that you know what, everyone can play their part.
Yeah, there are bad things in the world, but there are soo many good things. SO
many people, who are good! The power of the adversary, is real. So real. But we
know who is going to win. We are on Gods team. We may fall down, but we will
always get back up. And thaws like it in the gospel. We will fall at some
point, many will fall, but we always have to get back up, keep forgiving,
keeping moving forward, not looking in the past.
It’s hard. Its hard being
a missionary, being a member sometimes. Yet when we look at all the blessings,
all that we do have, it is such a privilege, such a grand opportunity that we
have. To grow closer to Jesus Christ, to one-day return to live with our
heavenly father. I love it!!
So yeah, that was kind
of fun! Just throwing up and got kicked by a midget I was about to own. In the
mission, it’s said that you have 1 free punch, so use it wisely. Haha I was
about to use it, but I didn’t. Not sure why, but I didn’t.
Just be good. Love one
another. Love God. We are so blessed. We need to realize that, and help others.
God is good.
I love you all. I bought
a volleyball today and laid in my hammock for like 1 hour, and it was blissful.
I just love it! I love you, I am praying for you all. God IS GOOD. Peace and
blessings!!
