Sorry y'all i typed my weekly all up and then I forgot to send it 
my bad. So here is last week's and I'll send this week's once I'm finished with it.
This week has been super good! I'll give y'all a lot of the highlights which is full of jokes and teaching and blessings as well as broken ankles and so much more.
First of we are starting to get our investigators back on track!!! Someone we were teaching awhile ago stopped meeting with us cause her spouse got nervous about her wanting to get baptized. Well a month later we got back in contact with her and we met with the husband and explained everything and now we are going to teach their family!!! I was so excited!! She calls us her "Brothas" hahaha shes always like I miss my brothas! Haha she's awesome.
We also had interviews with our mission President which was awesome! He said some things to me that meant a lot and he just expressed his feelings towards me and it was really needed. I love that guy! I know he was called of God to lead this mission! He's so awesome that I even played a joke on him and it was super funny. But it's also an inside joke so if I were to tell y'all you wouldn't really get it. So just take my word for it that is was super funny.
Next on the list is one of my favorite sports basketball! We had a really good turn out for basketball. Somethings were going on in the gym so it was cool to explain to all the visitors like different things that go on in the church. So anyways we play some basketball and I was doing really good. I played like 5 or 6 games and won 5 out of the 6. And we were all having fun and I wasn't even being super competitive. If you know me and how I play basketball I'm usually really competitive but I just layed back this go around. Well long story short I go and shoot the basketball and do my little koby fade shot that I have and as I'm coming down this guy is right underneath me and my left foot lands on his foot. The way I was falling my center of gravity was off and so all my weight and pressure went to my left ankle. As I came down on it it bent all the way sideways and then I heard a POP!! Followed with what I thought I heard/felt a crack. I layed there screaming on the inside and in so much pain. I thought I broke my ankle. Then my foot goes numb. I couldn't move. Finally they get me up and set me on the stage they get me some Ice and a chair to elevate my foot. The EMTs come and check my leg out and said it's a really bad sprain on both sides of my ankle. The left side of my ankle is the worst. It looks like a baseball.
My leg is okay and I'm doing good. The mission nurse and many members and missionaries have been taking care of me I've been super grateful for them. And I'm so grateful that I did not break my ankle and get sent home. I would have cried!!! No way I'm letting my sister beat me by one month! I've got 17 in she's got 18 just joking. But I was talking to a member and she said my ankle looks exactly like hers and she got x rays and come to find out she had a hairline fracture. So hopefully that's not my case. So as of right now I'll be down for a few weeks. So far I've had to stay inside for a while and it sucks. I just want to be out doing the work but I'm stuck inside 4 walls aka the apartment. I have to wear a boot for 4-6 weeks. So if any of y'all are on missions right now or are going to be on a mission don't do anything that will hurt you cause it sucks being stuck inside. Trust me. You feel horrible.
It's been super cool though to start to have people to teach. We have been working so hard but it's been really hard to get people to listen. I truly feel like we had to go through some Ether chapter 12:
"6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."
Because it's not until after the trial of my faith, then I will receive a witness and receive the blessings. These last few transfers have been rough but things are starting to get better even if I have to limp around! Haha I'm gratfeul for all the love and support I'm so sorry that I haven't written a weekly in a minute. I've been so crazy busy. Oh also one more cool thing. So the people that came to my mission and my area to see how my district was applying family history. Well I just received information that they took pictures of us at these events and showed them and presented a message for the missionary department council. So basically the prophet and apostles have seen all of our faces because they showed them all the pictures. They got all excited according to the report I received from salt lake. They now was reports on those people from my district so we are excited to help out with all that.
I love you all I hope you had a great week! #KeepOnKeepinOn
