Ok so for P-days here we usually are playing fútbol and I get super intense ninja like during the games because my moves are too good. Today it wasn't so successful. I was taking the ball down the cemented court and was doing pretty great; making these moves past each Latino like a boss. I had em all stunned because of my gringo power. All of the sudden I'm at the goal and attempting to take this amazing shot, but Elder Meneses (my roommate) didn't back down so I switched directions really fast (remember ninja like skills) and my foot got stuck under the ball and when I made my move to go forward I heard a "CRRRAACkKKKk" I don't know any other way to describe it haha. I looked down at my ankle and BOOM a baseball was inside my ankle all of the sudden. I flipped out probably a little but my manliness overcame the pain :). What was very special to me at that moment was every one that was there immediately ran over and suggested to give me a priesthood blessing right then and there. The other Elders here are really caring and I'm grateful for the blessing they gave me It's been helping me already. Holy heck that hurt so bad!! BUT don't even worry about it because I think it's actually pretty cool! I've never ever ever in my life sprained or broken anything. Now I know what it feels like! haha! We had to drive to a Doctors office real quick so I could get it checked out. We found out there that it was sprained. They keep trying to get me to sit in a wheelchair but I'm not having none of that. Hoping around has been fun for the past couple hours. Sister Hansen (CCM President's wife) gave me some medicine that works really well.
This was kind of funny that it happened at this particular time too because our last couple lessons with the Real-fake-Investigator have been on how we can overcome trials. I had read somewhere in Mosiah that if we just push forward with faith and trust in the Lord that all will be well. AND that's what I'm going to do! Alright, I'm a missionary so time to relate this experience.The moral of the story is, just read the Book of Mormon! It gave me the strength and knowledge I need, to know that no matter how many trials come into my life, the lord will always be there with me every step of the way. Or as my brother Stephen told me "The lord will be there guiding you always, Holding your hand every step of the way." If this Book can help me to feel hope and happiness every single day, then why not you too!? READ IT! and I promise you that no matter what you may be going through, that you will find comfort through the teachings in the Book of Mormon.
CHECK OUT THESE SICK SHOTS!
