God Loves Us

Hi!!!!!  How are you?   Basically I had a full relapse (back related)...I have been super tired, I have had tingling in my whole body, I have had a headache for about three weeks, and I have even had the twitch.  I have hardly worked in three weeks...I move...slowly...but I move.

The physical therapist has been helping lots.  I don´t have my twitch anymore and the tingling isn´t as bad.  So that means I am feeling better.

I went to the chiropractor and he told me pretty much what I already knew.  One leg is shorter than the other, my shoulders are misaligned and apparently I am just one crooked, unstable mess.  Of course I am a crooked, unstable mess!  I am 5´11" and I live in Chile where the tallest people come to about my shoulder.  Ok that is a lie, but still...I also carry the word of God around with me all day and that is pretty heavy...

I am keeping my President informed, don´t worry.  I call his wife like every other day... we are basically BFFs...

It has been a hard three weeks, I will be honest.  But I am fine.  I mean, I am in pain, but I´m not angry or frustrated or dying.  Obviously I want my mommy to come give me a big mommy hug, but that is probably the hardest part.  Lots of people are really nice to me.  The mamita lets me stay in her house so my companion can go out and work.  My companion is an ANGEL and I don´t think you could even pretend that I am "training" her at this point.  She is a stud, and she is helping me a ton.  And the zone decided they wanted to fast for me so I have been receiving lots of love.  Probably WAY more love than I deserve, but how can you say to someone, "Stop loving me."  That´s just stupid.

So...the good news...My physical therapist has a Book of Mormon and he is going to read it.  Haha, yeah, that´s right, best missionaries EVER.  Actually I was doing my therapy so Hermana Núñez is the best missionary ever.  But I pretended like I wasn´t finished so she could keep talking so I helped.  Haha, oh...God loves us...A LOT.

We have basically lost all of our investigators...That´s kind of a bummer.  I never understood the concept of "War in Heaven" until my mission.  It makes a lot more sense.  It also makes sense why there are so many war chapters in the Book of Mormon.  Because we are fighting a war right now!  Doesn´t that just blow your mind?  Anyway, I was praying for a miracle this week.  We haven´t had an investigator in church for 3 months...we have done everything we can to have investigators in church...so this Sunday the little granddaughter of a member came to church.  We have taught her one time, but we did absolutely nothing to help her come to church because she doesn´t live here...You might all think that doesn´t count, but let me just reiterate that God loves us A LOT.  And he really does answer prayers, but it is almost never in the way that we want.

I am doing good, I promise.  I will be healthy soon.

Love you all!

Love
Lexie
