Seeing Elder Cook... and I almost died...

Hey guys!! So I dont have much time to write today but we were able to see Elder Cook this last week. I'll tell you more about what he said next week because I don't have much time to write about it haha. 

On another note I almost died last week!! So the day after the conference we got home from working and I was super sick. I was told to take pepto bismol and I started to puke while I was talking on the phone with the nurse haha. I started puking up blood and I passed out about 5 to 6 times. I had a terrible double dragon experience and my companion said I looked like a dead person. I literally could not left myself up off the floor. 

I'm so grateful for this experience because it helped me really reflect on how I was doing as a missionary and what I was doing to help other people. I felt like I was going to die. And it's crazy the things that go through your head when you feel that way. Most of all I felt gratitude to my Father. I when through so much pain that day and I reflected on how Jesus Christ could have suffered more pain than I was going through at that moment. Its humbling to know that He was willing to do that for ME. 

I love my savior and am so grateful for this gospel. 

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
