June 12, 2023 THE HOPEFULLY NOT SO BORING ADVENTURES OF ELDER WILLIAMSON CHAPTER XXXIV

welllll.. basically our whole mission is changing now.. we all got our own phones.. sooo it's just like the states now.. it's super weird.. only one of the phones has a chip tho, so i basically just have an ipod, buttt... *we had zone conference, and it was super weird, cuz it's the last zone conference of the president and his wife.. sooo we all have our own phones, and we're getting a new president *also all of our senior missionaries are leaving, and we aren't getting new ones.. sooo they're gonna have to start sticking elders in the office to do those jobs *we we're all kinda sick again this week.. i slept for like 4 hours on wednesday, so i didn't end up going out.. and the two who did go out were back after like 2 hours cuz my comp was dying *i finally found some protein powder to buy, and it's pretty expensive here, and it probably won't do much, since typically people lose weight in this mission, buttt may as well try *ok ok, one day.. umm lets see.. sooo.. basically my comp and i are walking from a lesson, and we're just down the jungle road that we take to get to a far off part of our area, and somewhere along the way this random lady on a scooter pulls up.. and she just says something about her eye, and how we can give her company for a sec.. or something like that idk.. and her eye looks pretty swollen, but i'm thinking she's about to ask us to drive her home or something (people here are very trusting with their bikes) then she kinda drops her helmet into the road (cuz they mostly don't really wear their hemlets here but they a lot of the time hAve it with them on their bike).. sooo i go grab her helmet and hand it to her, and then she just goes "there's something in my eye, can you see it?".. i look at her eye, and sure enough there's a little bug on her eyeball.. so we're like "oh wow.. yah there's.. uhh.. something..".. so naturally she just looks at me (yk, with the eye without the bug) and she's like "take it out!" and i'm like "uhmmm" and she's like "can you not? just take it out?".. so i do a speed scan of possible reasons of why that might not be a good idea, buttt there wasn't reAlly any real reason not to.. sooo i was just like "uhhh.. ok".. so anyways i'm digging around in her lower eyeball, and she's just sitting there all casual, and i'm asking her if it hurts and stuff, and she's all nonchalantly "no no it doesn't hurt, get it out tho".. so a little later i pulled out a tiny bug covered in.. ummm.. eyeball juices? orrr.. ig maybe it's tears technically? i'm not sure.. but she just thanked us, and said something about how the bug was a tiny mosquito, and then she just kinda drove away again, and we kept walking... *this week we've had some really good lessons.. were still cycling thru people kinda quickly, because we're having a bit of a hard time finding people who are willing to make the trip to church.. hOweverrr.. we have one guy who walks an hOur uphill (on that same jungle road as bug in the eye lady, he's the reason we were out there) to get to church.. and he's getting baptized in like 3 weeks, because he is sooo elect.. he dropped all of his bad habits after our fiRst visit, and he is blasting thru the book of mormon.. and also he walks an hour to church.. uphill.. *we have another lady who is truly searching for the truth, and she's so awesome! she told us yesterday that sometimes satan comes to her in dreams, and she tells him "i know who you are, and in the name of jesus christ, i will fiGht you!!" so were working on getting her all the lessons and everything so she can get baptized *and another lady is literally already a member (meaning she comes to church every week, and she loves having us over, and she's already doing missionary work) she just hasn't been baptized, because she lives with her x-husband (cuz she makes all the money, and he has a lot of medical bills and can't support himself or live on his own).. sooo we're working on getting that sorted out *buttt anyways, things are getting super cool here! andddd that's all folks, thanks for joining us on... anyways.. have a good week, love you guys! moroni 10:32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
