Im emailing under very different circumstances today.
Right now I am in the presidents office using his computer. Its actually not even p day anymore but I have been super busy today and didnt get the chance to email earlier. And the president is nice haha
Basically to make a long story short....
Last week my leg started hurting really bad. Its a pain that starts in my lower back and goes almost to my feet...on the back part of my leg. It got so bad that the last 4 days I couldnt walk at all....or hardly sit up in bed. Today we had to take a bus 4 hours to Concepcion and have been at the doctors most of the day. The doctor thinks its something in my spine and I have to get xrays tomorrow. So we are just going to stay here for the night *hopefully in chillancito...that would be beyond amazing* and get those done tomorrow.
Im not dying or anything...but obviously if I cant walk...I cant work and I cant be a missionary.
Going home is the last thing in the world I want to do. I cant even begin to explain how devastated that would make me.
So all of your prayers would be very much appreciated.
In other news....we had another emergency transfer in our house.
We lived with another hermana who I love dearly. She has had a hard life...basically she made a bad choice about a boyfriend who was really abusive and what not and is still suffering the effects of that. Its sad there are such mean people in the world. But this last week I was able to talk a lot with her and I tried my best to help her. But I can solve everything...and saturday we had a surprise visit from President who told her to pack up...in 15 mins...and she was gone. That was hard. But I know she is getting the help she needs now...I just have to miss her now, She was my favorite little chilean. Probably the funniest person ever. But she promised to come visit California one day so its all good.
Other than that...I dont have time for much else. Linares is great. My companion is doing great. She is growing up! We have the baptisms of Julia and little Rapheal this saturday!
Oh...today after the doctor I really wanted to see Hermana De Leon and Tejerina while we were here in conce. They are both going home fairly soon and I knew this could be my last chance. We arent allowed to call each other so I just walked to the office in faith that they would be there at that time...and they were!! It was so great to see them! Poor hermana Tejerina was crying and we were able to finalize her plans to the states....well kind of haha. It was just a nice tender mercy to see them at such a hard time. They let me know that I would not be going home and if I had to get a wheelchiar they would be willing to push me around in that for my last 10 months haha
Okay. I think I need to turn the computer back over ha
I will plan on calling around 6 sunday...6 my time. If you could get the skype all set up and just email me like you did last time that would be great!!
Love you all!
Hermana Orchard
