| Doin' missionary work! |
Today we are going shopping!! I really need sweaters and warmer winter clothes! I am excited to shop.
This morning when I was brushing my hair, I thought of when you
used to say, "What do Ariel and her hair have in common?" haha <3
I
have been buying those fruit Silk drinks when I go grocery shopping.
They are so good! and they are supposed to have a lot of protein.
On Monday, November 12, we visited one of the former investigators. She said a quote when I was talking to her and said, "Buddy
Wakefield said that." ..Buddy Wakefield is a SLAM poet and I recognized
it right away! She and I clicked so much. She even said that she felt
like she wasn't supposed to be born in this generation, which is
something I have always felt. I am so excited to teach her again. Don't
know if anything will come of it, but she's really cool and we have a
lot in common :)
So, don't freak out--but if you've looked at the pictures, you can
see that I went to the hospital this week. On Tuesday night, November
13, I got in a bike accident! We were riding our bikes to a dinner
appointment with the Allens. It was about 6 pm. I don't remember what
happened because the doctor said I have amnesia, but Sister Stone was
behind me and has told the story of what happened so many times now. So I
was going up the curb, (the curbs to get onto driveways here are like 3
ridiculous inches tall), and my bike tire turned at the wrong angle and
I just fell off of my bike. I hit my head on the concrete and even
though I had a helmet on, I got knocked out. I layed there for a minute,
not moving, and then I held my head and said "Ow..Ow..Ow." really
quitely. Sis. Stone told me not to get up, so I lay there for a minute
and then sat up. I remember being very confused and not understanding
what happened. When I finally stood up, Sis. Stone was like, "Ahh! I
don't know what to do! What should we do??!" and I just said that we
should go to the dinner appointment, because we had a lesson with an
investigator during that dinner and I
didn't want to miss it.

| Waiting at the doctors |

| Sister Stone and I at the ER |
On Wednesday, we went to the
regular doctor and they didn't have the right machines to check my head
so they told me to go to the ER. We went to the ER and were there for
like 4 hours. I thought about those episodes of House when they go into
the machines and something goes wrong. haha. A guy came in and told me
he was going to take me to get the CT scan and I asked if I could walk.
He said they he would wheel me on the bed and I was like, "That's a bit
dramatic!" He said that I needed the entire ER experience. hahah. So the
whole way that he is pushing me, Sister Stone is dying laughing and I
just keep making comments about how it is so unnecessary to be pushed.
haha. It turned out that I have a concussion, but nothing else is wrong
with my brain. They told me to take it easy and try not to get another
concussion because it can cause brain damage. I have had a continual
headache all week and I needed to sleep for like 2 days straight, but I
think I am getting better. I am working through the pain. Other damage
from the accident: I had a bruise on my eye, a scratch on my cheek, a
bruise on my chin, a very very badly bruised knee, a bad headache, and
pain in my jaw.
Know that I am okay! Heavenly Father protected me from too bad of
damage. I was wearing a lot of layers because of the cold, so luckily, I
didn't get too many scratches!
