So this week was a little frustrating but also super good. I couldn't fully hear out of my right ear all week. It hurts but it's fine whatever.
Then I started getting weird side ache-like pains in my right chest area. I was sure they'd go away but then it lasted all day, then all day again, then all day again.
So Elder Rigby was like "Elder. Call the mission nurse"
And despite studying humility, I still had too much pride to take his advice and just pretended like it didn't hurt as much as it did.
So the next morning I'm finally like ok.
So I texted her and then she called me while Elder Rigby was in the shower. Basically we went through all my symptoms and she had me describe the pain as best I could and shes like- you have appendicitis.
So I was like- no way. We went through all the symptoms again and shes like yup, go to the emergency room.
So Elder Rigby walks out of the shower and i'm like "hey…so i just got of the phone with mission nurse sister Alt. She wants me to go to the ER"
And he's like "well let's get going then!"
So then I got a chest x-ray and an EKG and we told the mission nurse that and she was like ?? That's not gonna help them see appendicitis! They need to do an ultrasound!
So they came back and did an ultrasound and that was kinda nice. They slathered super warm jelly all over me and I just laid there like 'ok…'
And then an hour later they came back and told me nothing was wrong. It's probably just muscle pain. Take ibuprofen.
So we left and that was that.
Later in the week we had just gotten home from our last appt that day and were winding down from everything, just sitting in pajamas and filling out an area book. I went to go wash my face and as soon as i get the lather all on. Elder Rigby starts bamging on the bathroom door yelling "yo yo yo hurry up! Yo! Hurry up"
So i'm thinking he pooped his pants or something and i open the door with stuff still on my face and there's yelling and shouting and thuds coming from next door. So were like 
.
.A gal were kinda friends with and her "boyfriend" were fighting.
And basically it got pretty bad so we opened the door and were like "hey do you want us to call the cops" and the gal told us yes. So we did. And they were just so mean to each other. It was pretty bad. The cops pulled up and sorted it out and said that they didn't want to have to come back, don't make us come back! It was good and silent for like 5 minutes. Then it all started up again.
The gal had a friend come pick her and her son up. Our guy came and literally punched her.
Oh! And this whole time we're just standing behind our blinds watching through them. We almost called the cops again but they left.
So that was fun but not actually.
And I ended up grabbing a towel and just wiping the face wash off lol.
Last p-day I bought a guitar from some guy who knew like 15 words in English. The guitar is nice (I think- I don't really know guitars) and compared to the rest on FB marketplace I got a good deal lol.
I've been playing around on that alot and it's pretty fun. So if you have any guitar tips or anything like that plz send it. Fr fr.
I should probably mention something about the work. The work is going great. We had one day where we visited some ASL friends that live really far away. So about half that day was spent in the car, good thing we have good music. It was kinda sad cuz we traveled so far just for some of them to not be home.
But the ones that were made were worth it. One of our ASL friends came out to us and we were kinda shocked but ofc also not really. He's one of our top progressives. I was at his first lesson with us. His name is Juan but we always use his sign name. He for sure is gonna be baptized.
Our mission has set a goal to find 1000 people this week! Usually we're hitting around
400 apparently but I guess since the storms and floods we've been going up by like 150 each week so we hit about 850. Now President Smith wants to see us hit 1000. That's 13 new people per companionship. If we do then he'll get everybody Jamba Juice.
Soooo mega need prayers this week to find those people, and for my ear and chest to quit hurting. Plz throw us in at least one of your prayers this week.
So ya.
Read the Book of Mormon every day. Start every day out with a prayer- right after you turn the alarm off or whatever. (And in one of those prayers plz pray for me)
If you have any Deaf friends living in Northern California….let me know? Maybe? Please?
Love you guys. Thanks for taking the time to read this and caring enough to stay updated on my mission.
