So we've been stuck in residence since Monday night and let me tell you it's been pretty interesting. My shoulder bursitis has gotten worse, I took the anti-inflammatory pills that my doctor prescribed all up till last Saturday... I started having every negative side effect you can possibly have when it comes to taking that type of medication... So yesterday we finally got to see Dr. Rich again and they gave me two cordazone (he was awesome and charged me for one - the dude who gave the shots) shots in my shoulder which did not feel too pleasant and which made me very loopy and energetic for about 4 hours thanks to the steroids in them bad boys. They told me it takes about 48 hours for it to work for the pain to stop IF it works. So I have to go to the doctor here to talk with them about all this jazz to see if it's healed. If not back to square one. The good news is Dr. Rich says it was not a preexisting condition so did the guy that gave me shots. So the Missionary insurance should kick in now. I don't know if it'll reimburse anything else at this point seeing as I had to blow a ton of money on the freaking co-pay. It's so dumb. We will see though so at this point the church will finally help out with medical expenses. Praying that this is still bursitis and that it'll heal if not I'm sure they will figure it out since we are able to do more testings at this point and time with the insurance since it happened under church watch. So this week has been interesting. I talked with my branch president on Tuesday after devotional and he gave me an amazing blessing. Advising me that no matter what happens the Lord is pleased with my willingness to serve. That there are people on both sides of the veil praying for me. He then stopped and said "I feel prompted to tell you of a vision I am having at this time. It is of your parents, on their knees in prayer. Praying for you earnestly, their prayers are being answered. I advise you to look for what you are suppose to learn in this trial Andi. The lord would have you healthy if he wanted you healthy. I advise your companion as well to search for the reason of this trial too. That it may be for her benefit and not yours. I bless you has you have faith and the desire to teach the words will come to you. Even with being out of your class for so long. The Lord will make up the rest. It's not about you. It's not about what you feel you should do. It's about what the Lord feels you should do. Remember it's his work and you're just an interment in his Hands." it was a humbling experience. I have been having my faith tried a lot since I've been here I feel like the spirit hasn't been with me as much as i like lately. It's been because of my negativity and my annoyance with my shoulder. I am honestly so blessed to have Hawker Nover has my companion. She is the sweetest person alive. She's been having to deal with my medical crap and with my drugged up self and she's been a trooper. So yesterday here are some of the phrases I said while on heavy medication according to Hawker "I totally understand (I was agreeing with a mexican sister who said everyone hated her in cali cause she was a mexican... I guess I for got my skin color for a bit.) "I love the new missionaries like Motra Pierce Loves cats... I just want to hug them and say 'come into my bosom my children let me love you." (motra pirece is going to the the adriatic south mission and has an unhealthy obession of cats....) well I'll leave it at that cause the other portions aren't very appropriate as missionary I was just very, very overly honest about my feelings and my poor companion almost peed her pants from laughing. So We are learning to laugh out our trials and our mistakes. That is one thing we are learning for sure. We have started to hate our residence hall and are going insane but we try to study hungarian when ever we get the chance since we are behind. I think I'm going to be learning to trust in the lord through all this honestly... I have to have faith that he will make up what I lack through faith and through my desires and the work I have put into it. I just gotta make sure I do my part in all this! Over all not much has changed I learned how say "eight cow woman" in hungarian so we tell our elders that they are eight cow elders! "neyolc tehen elderek" It's been pretty fun. The Lord is good as always and without Him I am nothing. I am loving the prayers, I need them and thank you so much for writing me. Someone should send me DearElders with the news... Something about the outside world. I feel like I've been birthed from these walls... OHHHH we did intitatories today and they were Hungarian names it was so cool because I could pronounce their names properly it felt pretty cool :) Also I found some things on family search of Uncle John Terebesi of his family and siblings and all that Jazz so have Neal or someone look over it to see if it's correct. Tell Neal to help me with the Hungarian names, I would love that if he'd put it into family search if he has it already... Another fun thing in one of our lessons last week Hawker Nover tried to say "tell me about yourself?" and the investigator started cracking up I guess she called him a fairy or something he then corrected her kindly and it was pretty memorable. Not much else though really. Mom and Dad - I put your son Mikey on an ugly shirt search for the package you are sending so just so you know, if you haven't already sent it yet. I need it for my for square turnoment that I will have once I am healed when that day comes. I'm looking for the silver lining in every gray cloud and learning to laugh at my hard times and mistakes. My faith is and will continue to strengthen through relying on my Savior. I have an amazing support system and amazing doctors. I know that Everything will be okay. I love you guys a lot! I hope you get feeling better mom and Brooke! I love you lots and lots.
I love you miss Jane! Grace is keeping me company and keeping me safe! I love you Owen Ryan and Kate! Mikey your my favorite brother! Erin your my favorite Sister! Jacob your rock. Brooke you're amazing and I love you! Dad I miss you and taco time dates only a little over 500 days and I'll be home! Love you all!!
