On Saturday morning I woke up at about 4:30am and had the worst stomach cramps. I couldn't even sleep. We then went to the gym and I just laid down feeling like I was going to throw up. So I slept for about 3 hours when we got back. I took some medicine and then I felt better.
This week we went off! Yessir, we found 11 new people to start teaching and had 7 people at church. We are grinding out here. We are super excited about a few people we found this week. First is a lady named Cherron and she is awesome, almost too elect, she is super responsible which is different. She came to church with members that she already loves! Yesterday at church on base we found 2 new people. One wants to be baptized!! We are meeting with him next week after church to set a baptismal date. It's so hard to meet with the soilders on base--they are just so busy.
This week my testimony grew on how this is God's work. What an opportunity it is to participate. It's amazing, literally. It's great to be a missionary, as I've been focusing on the needs of others and how we can help them, I've never been happier. Yes, I miss home. Nevertheless, I don't think we understand how important missionary work is sometimes. This work can change people for eternity. Imagine how selfish we are if we don't share this gospel.
