ONE MONTH DOWN ONE TO GO. So this week hasn't been too eventful I wasn't able to be in class due to my stinking shoulder. Weirdly enough I am not that worried about the language... I know the Lord will bless me as long as I am trying my hardest to learn the language with continuous study of the Gospel! We have had some AMAZING devotionals this weekend. Can I just say that Sunday and Tuesdays at the MTC are pretty much the best days besides P-day. No Joke. Devotional on Monday was from one of the branch presidents and his wife! President and Sister Lindahl, were amazing! I wish I would of brought my notes in here with me but I'll share a few things with you that I can remember that made me just think "Holy Crap this Woman is speaking to me". She talked about how we are all worthy and we know we are worthy when we have the spirit with us. She talked about how Satan doesn't give up just because we are in the MTC, he works harder and we need to work even harder than him. She told us that the Lord will not fail us, the Lord answers prayers, sometimes he tries our patience to make us Strong. He doesn't want us to lose faith he wants us to grow it, but trials and hard times are what also increase our faith. I mean how can you really grow if you aren't stretched a little or tried? It totally makes sense. You don't get results by doing nothing that's for sure. It just made me realize that the Lord truly is mindful of me and my trials and that He knows exactly what I am going through and what I feel. He has shown me time and time again and I am pretty sure at this point when I ask for him to give me reassurance of what I am doing he laughs and says "Again? Honey how many times do you need to be reassured of my love for you. Are my words not enough?" Then at that point I get a smack in the face of humility like He you don't be dumb you're a Daughter of God and He loves you. Then I aggressively say the Young Women's theme in my head to eye of the Tiger and my day is 110% better. So Tuesday was amazing we had the First Councilor of the General Bishopric Presidency Elder Causse and His Wife. They talked about being Bold Missionaries. Not being afraid to just go up to someone and preach to them. Not being afraid to ask them to be baptized. How that we are all super heroes to these people that our 'Super Power" is the Holy Ghost. That just like Spider-man had to exercise his powers to be a great super hero, we do to through prayer. scriptures, service, ect. [ The whole spiderman thing was really funny because I guess one time I went up to Hawker Nover while I was on Oxi and told her that it made me have spidey senses ... I know pretty great.] Anyways it was pretty much just a huge pump up at this point!! Made me want to walk up to everyone on temple walk to day and be like "Have you been baptized? Well if not you're gonna be!" It's been pretty awesome! So time to let ya'll know about the medical stuff. Fun Fun Fun! Your prayers have been amazing and Hakwer Nover and I seriously appreciate it. We had some answers to prayers today for sure. So we've been passed around from doctor to doctor for the past two weeks getting no where being prescribed pretty much anything and everything at this point. With not being able to go to class it was super frustrating, but we read from the Hungarian Book of Mormon and Wrote out our prayers and testimonies in Hungarian during the week so we didn't feel super useless. I don't know if I told you that or not... anyways back to the boring stuff. I had X-rays done on Friday, and an MRI on Monday both came back negative which was super discouraging but also a blessing since everything was in tact! Hawker and I were very discouraged because nothing was looking up at that point we didn't know what was going on. Doctors weren't listening and didn't really hear what we were saying when it came to what was hurting and all that jazz so we were literally stuck until today. We went to see Dr. Jackson who is also a Branch President here and he is an awesome guy, seriously love that man. Anyways his assistant does some motions with me and I felt to ask him ' could it be nerve damage' I felt super smart at that point cause I never thought of it really until then and He looked at me and said well yeah it really could be that's the one thing that hasn't been tested! He calls for x-rays of my neck. I was looking at with Hawker and jokingly said "My neck looks weird, I guess it matches the rest of me" Well I was right it turns out your neck is suppose to do a gradual lazy "c" shape my does not. It is a backwards "c" which is very serious and on top of it I have Spinal Spasms which make the pain worse. So the discovered that I do indeed have nerve damage in my trap. Good news is we find out tomorrow how bad it is from another doctor at 11:30 am to decided if I need surgery or not. Fingers crossed there is a magic pill to fix me up! I am just so happy and thrilled the doctors found out what was wrong. I cannot even describe to you how happy I am to have that prayer answered. The rest is in the Lords hands but keep them prayers coming 'cause we need them!! Now that we are all done with that boring mush, I want you all to know how much I love you and miss you! Keep the DearElders Coming and thank you so much for the package!!! I love it! You'll see in these pictures coming that Hawker Nover and I used a large pill bottle for our salsa cup, what can I say ghetto house wives for the win. I want you to know in English that I know the church is true and that we have a lovely Heavenly Father who is mindful of us even when we thing we are alone. There is no such thing. I know the Holy Ghost is the real teacher and that my broken Hungarian and myself are just the small interments in the Lords hands. I know that this is my calling and that no matter what happens tomorrow that my time here was not a failure. I know that I love this Gospel more than anything in this world and that nothing will even compare to the happiness and joy it brings me. I love trials, yes I love trials. They suck and they are hard but when you look for what you are suppose to learn from them and how much you have grown outside of that one trial you wouldn't trade it for the world. I know the Lord knows me personally because of the Branch President I have, the Companion I have, and the District I have. I know that God lives. I know that my Redeemer Lives, I know all of these things to be true, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Szeretlek!!
Tudom Hogy Jo Megvaltom El!!
