Mission scripture

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." Alma 26:12

What a week!

Okk...so this week was...hmm...where to begin??
 
First of all...Cara and Juleen I am not fat!!!! I want a new black skirt cuz its no longer a black...its grey! Gosh guys...have you no faith in my skinny self?? haha neither do i ;) jk!
 
Well...for starters... my foot. Since I'm a missionay and cant stay off my foot, it got infected...and im sure you all just wanted to know that ;) but now I officially cant walk on it! I couldnt take it any longer, I was in sooo much pain and we couldn't get ahold of anyone!!!! I got nasty antibiotics which dont help but im required to take...and I got pain meds that dont even freakin work! what the freak man?! And which was worse was that Sister Ames, presidents wife, never answers her phone which is frustrating...but oh well. Finally we had a senior couple come over and gave me a blessing and then went to the store and got me more epsom salt and a mcdonalds smoothie at 11:30pm. How nice is that? So we were up all night soaking my foot...and the bathroom is now my second home cuz my foots always in the bathtub. I've got a pic to prove haha Soooo Sister Edwards and I have been SUPER bored and have been reading scriptures, and watching church movies which is getting really boring! I feel like I have no butt anymore...
 
So its so fun, I know! You should try it! Not.
 
Ok so my spanish skills...so since we're over YSA, its over the whole stake so we call less actives in all the wards, spanish ward included. The parents, lots of them, dont even know english so when theyd answer i'd have to use my amazing spanish skills which are pretty much gone hahaha but im getting there ;) It's a fail..Larissa help me!!
 
One really awesome moment, so we have this less active that we're working with and he is sooo nice but soo hard to get ahold of. Well, a couple days ago he called us and told us he picked up his ciggarettes again. noooo...but it was awesome that he trusts us now to tell us and ask for help! He's getting there!!!! :D We're soo exciteed!!!
 
We had some less actives come to church which was super awesome cuz one who does nottttt like the church but is finally warming up to it finally came! Except we only went to take the sacrament cuz I was suppose to be in my bed so we didnt get to stay the whole time.
 
I literally cant walk! Today we did landry and Sister Edwards had to give me piggy back rides to and fro...if anyone saw...thats embarrassing haha please keep me in your prayers so I can get back on my feet (literally) and work!
 
Love you all!
