Less than a week until I head to Redlands!

Less than a week until I head to Redlands! As much as I have loved the MTC, I am ready to deuce out.

So those who are friends with my mom on Facebook, I am sure you have heard about the excitement I had on Saturday. I woke up around 3 am (which we don't wake up until 6:30) in severe pain. My first thought was cramps, but nothing I did made it feel better. It was a sharp pain and I really felt like my insides were on fire. I just kind of tossed around in pain in my bed trying to be quiet. around 5:50 I realized the pain was only getting worse, so I went to wake up one of my companions, then all the sisters in my room woke up. I at this point, am crying and kinda moving everywhere because dying. Me and Sister Rivas ended up going to the ER, and I was literally screaming, it was embarrassing, but I could not stop. The doctor said he thinks its kidney stones.WHAT. I had to get a ct scan, and they said it came back clean, but there was blood in my urine, also terrifying, and then they gave me an ultrasound. They said they think I already passed the kidney stone which is amazing because it all happened so fast. 

But something that was cool, was my first thought was "I want my mom" and then the next thought was "I want Sister Porter" who is the wife of one of the branch president counselors. When I was being discharged, GUESS WHO CAME IN?! Brother and Sister Porter! What a tender mercy. They bought me some Gatorade and took us back to the MTC,

I am at this point just feeling really sick,and still in pain. I was able to get a blessing, and after about 10 minutes, I had zero pain, I still felt a little sick, but it was not as horrible as it was.

All the sisters in my district took turns "watching me" aka took turns taking naps.

But I am better and I ready to go at all times, but I got the nap I have been missing.

Another thing is, we have something called TRC's,which are "investigators" we get too teach,some are members some aren't, but it's still fun. Yesterday we were talking with one, her name is Ashley, and I was actually myself, and it made me so much more excited to go into the field, idk what I was trying to teach like my companions. I'm a fun person, what was I thinking? 

There may have been more that happened this week, but the kidney stones is the only thing I remember, just because everyone keeps bringing it up.. hahah.

Also love alll the emails, makes my heart happy. next time I email, I will be in CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
