Heyo everybody!!
We drove back to Corona
this week to give a training! Hip hip hooray!! It was so great to go back and
say hi again. I absolutely love visiting zones I've served in the mission, if
you can't tell. ;) We also had interviews with our mission president and those
went well! President Watson is the BEST and I love visiting with him and his
family. They are so cool. :))
Guess who I met this
week?? This new YSA ward move-in named Joshua Goss! :O Woah!! As soon as I saw
his records we called and planned a time to visit haha! I've met some Gosses
here and there, but they're pretty rare. I was the first Goss he's ever met
outside of his family. It was way cool! ;) We're not immediately related
as far as we can tell, but we'll have to check FamilySearch.org to be
sure.
We served at the
bishop's storehouse again this week, attended institute in-person, filmed our
quality post, had our social media meeting with Salt Lake City HQ, trained for
our zone training meeting in Temecula, and ran our Murrieta stake youth social
media devotional! It's been a great week! The stake devotional was really fun
to be a part of because it was the first time I was there for the entire
process: from the idea, creating the agenda, assigning speakers, creating the
training slideshow, coordinating with the stake MCM, etc. It was a successful
meeting and lots of youth participated, even though it was over Zoom! Woohoo!
AND WE HAD IN-PERSON
CHURCH INSIDE THE CHURCH this week!!! Y'all - the last time I went to a ward
sacrament meeting inside a church building was March 8th. March 8th to October
11th. That is absolutely insane. But it was SO GOOD! Sister Weston gave one of
the talks and I said the closing prayer. We had to keep our masks on and we
couldn't sing, so we just listened to music for the hymns. Despite the few
differences, the Spirit was so strong! What a blessing!!!
Last story: we played
this game called dynamite this morning as a zone which involved diving on the
floor and throwing a kickball to get people out! We played it a couple pdays
ago and it was super fun. :) When we finished the game today and got back in
the car, I noticed my elbow was strangely bent and swollen. I asked my
companion if she noticed anything different, and she said no. The other sisters
that lived with us asked to see so I lifted it up at a different angle and they
gasped; "oh my gosh your bone!!" I showed everyone and they all said
"oh yeah that does not look good. I think it's dislocated." My elbow
didn't hurt, with the exception of a major bruise, but I got pretty worried. My
bone was not where it should've been and that's not usually a good thing. ;) So
we spent the next two hours waiting at an urgent care after texting the zone
chat, calling the nurse, calling my mom, and having the mission president's
wife call us. After waiting in the waiting room for forever, they finally took
me back and I was ready for the doctor to twist it painfully back in place. He
looked at it, moved it around, and said, "are you in the mood to exercise?
Can you do a pushup for me?" I said, "sure!" After actually
successfully doing a pushup, the doctor said "your elbow is totally fine.
It's just swollen. If it were dislocated, you wouldn't be able to do anything
we just did. But thanks for getting it checked!" *smacks face in
embarrassment 5 billion times* Oh my gosh. You're kidding. So now I have to go
tell everyone that we just don't know what a dislocated elbow looks like and it
was totally fine after all. Hahaha... Oh SO awkward.
Well there you have it!
Another typical, wonderful week with an awkward story included. You're welcome.
;) Love you all lots! Have a great week!!
Love, Sister Goss
