Week 25   I Am Human

So this week was a little bit of weird week and kinda hard. Monday was great though, we were able to just chill out a little bit for pday and not stress too much about going anywhere. That night the "Delisi" Elders and us went to a restaurant to do a small English discussion group. Super fun and the owners were sooo nice. They gave us free food and I felt so bad, but they would not accept any money whatsoever. Tuesday was when the week started to go down hill. That morning I woke up exhausted as if I hadn't slept in days and I was starving. That was the state I was in the rest of the day. No matter how much I ate I couldn't get rid of the hunger feeling. I got to the point that I was so tired of eating, but still that hungry feeling would not go away. I called the area doctor later cause this was definitely not normal. The next following days were similar however the exhaustion started to go away and now is completely gone. The hunger has stayed although it is either hunger or stomach pains. I went to the doctors and they did a normal check up and took some blood. I am still waiting on those results. Hopefully we figure out what is going on. My companion and I both had a hard week, but for different reasons. Me with my health and just craziness that has been happening and for my companion with some personal matters that happened in the past. Luckily, we have gotten pretty close this transfer and were able to talk it out. I haven't felt this emotional since the MTC, but it was bound to happen at some point, I mean I am human. I have to hit a rough patch at some point. Friday we had interviews with the mission president and game night which was so fun. An american family came to visit Georgia since they adopted their daughter here and brought a ton of american candy. Specifically, reeses peanut buttercups, since they don't exist here. All the missionaries went insane, including me of course. I have become quite addicted to this candy which is funny since we don't even have it here. Saturday was zone conference which was great and so fun as usual. It is great seeing all the missionaries. Sunday was good. Our companionship helps out with primary which is cool. We are learning the song Come Follow Me in Russian since it hasn't been translated yet into Georgian  yet. I will soon have the first verse memorized in Russian which is pretty cool. Over all a decent week, we have exchanges this week which is always fun and hopefully I will start to feel normal again. 

Spiritual thought: So the whole zone conference was on repentance and we were given a commitment which really hit me and I wanted to share it with you all. Our mission president gave us the commitment to make sacrament even more special. To come to sacrament meeting and not only think about Christ and the significance of his role, but also to think about what specific thing you are going to change the following week. During sacrament I always think of how I can do better, but I never think of specifically what I want to do to or need to do to change and become better. I want to try that from now on to start to make sacrament even more meaningful and significant.

That was the week, until next time!
