well🐳
this week was basically just a bunch of garbage. We had interviews and it was great. but my man Elder Scott walked out of there with tears in his eyes and muttered "president is sending me home" basically his meds were hurting his heart and so he gadda go home to get adjusted to new medicine and figure out stuff. Elder Scott is an incredible missionary and while we served together he became my best friend. He is an absolute legend and changed my life. We worked together so well and got along perfectly. So ya- im pretty upset he's going home. I'm actually really, really upset.
Another missionary from our district is going home too. so now me and his comp are together, covering 3 wards---including the chinese branch cuz they were chinese program elders.
I don't know chinese. The majority of their work is chinese.
Last night I dropped Elder scott off at the Mission Office. It was really hard. much cry.
President told me he trusted me and knew I could do this.
With elder scott going home i had a lot of anger at President and even God. The whole time, deep down I knew it was God's will and there's a reason why president has been prompted to do that. Then I remembered Jacob 4:10 especially the part about "taking counsel from His hand. . .he councels in wisdom and mercy" or something. So I decided I need to do that. and since trying to do that I've had mega peace. It's cool that even though I'm going through something really hard and still sad about it-i can still have peace and be happy.
i also got my wrist casted finally. gonna be in it for 3 weeks.
so technically. . .I'm in the Mandarin Chinese program. My new comp, elder Slade is incredibly eccentric about the language and teaches me all sorts of things about the language basically nonstop. So I will likely be fluent by the end of the transfer.
i'm continuing to learn ASL and it's just plain incredible how easy it is flowing into my mind and hands. Even with limited use of one hand, I'm still just loving it.
So basically send a lot of prayers to Elder Scott.
and as always, do everything you can to get out on your mission. start now. Call your bishop. Read the Book of Mormon. pray a bunch. . .whatever YOU need to do, and YOU know what it is. . .do it!
*Elder Scott had a cool way he said "beans" so everybody started calling him the bean man.
