This
week... Oh my gosh. I have never had such a stressful week ever. This
week we almost lost one of the missionaries who we really need here. He is only
eighteen and he is very stressed. He has had some health problems and the
mission nurse did not help him a ton. The doctors here are super un organized
and literally just told him to buy a hard bed and told him to leave. I was upset
because I saw a missionary so stressed and confused that he just wanted to
throw in the towel. Seeing him being stressed I went to the bank and took out
around sixty dollars in soles and I told him we are going to go to the clinic
and have them look at you know and they will tell us exactly what we need to
do. I did it without asking for permission and I knew that the mission was not
going to pay for it because they had already sent him to the clinic. I in that
moment felt like I needed to have him seen. He went to the clinic had a few
tests done and for the first time I saw him relax and the stress left. The
mission will not be able to reimburse me but I knew it was worth it. If that is
what it takes to help this missionary end his mission strong I will do it.
This
week we have been able to work a little bit in the area but not a ton. A lot of
the investigator did not make it to church however Evelyn DID GO!!! She is the
suprise blessing of the week. She is making lots of changes in her life but is
also the most determined. I was so happy to see her yesterday in the church. we
had a lesson with her and she is not giving up she will take her time in
picking a date but she is not going to give up.
