Ok so my mystery lightheadedness has returned! But that just means I got to ride in a wheelchair again around the hospital while a bunch of doctors did tests on me to try to figure out what in the world is happening. So in the process of all of that I got to see a picture of my brain! I bet most missionaries can't say that. And we've discovered that on paper I'm the epitome of health, which is actually super comforting. So still no answers but everything is still looking pretty good!

The most amazing part of this whole thing though (milagro numero uno) is that even though some mornings I can hardly walk around the apartment (that's pretty rare though, usually I just have to walk really slow and I'm fine) we just get out and go to work anyways just trusting that Heavenly Father will give me the strength I need to do whatever He wants me to do and as soon as we're out working, helping, teaching, and finding God's children here, I feel perfectly fine. I can walk normally up and down stairs, walk down a street, fend off really friendly but large dogs that decide they want to hug us, all with no problem. But as soon as we're back home at night it'll hit all over again.
It's the weirdest thing but I've grown so much in my faith these past three weeks witnessing firsthand my daily miracle of being able to work at all. And because we're really been trying so hard to continue being good missionaries, despite our challenges, we have been so miraculously blessed here in the work this week!
One of our incredible, wonderful, super sweet investigators, finally made it to church this past Sunday and brought her three children! She is falling in love with this gospel, as I have, and I'm so excited for her and her family! I can see how much the knowledge that their family can be eternal has already started to bless their lives. There really is nothing better than missionary work.

And there was just so many other little miracles that happened this week that if I even attempted to mention a few of them this email would take days to read. We have been so clearly used as instruments in the Lord's Hands this week, which is all I have ever wanted out of my mission. He has been preparing us and trusting us with some big jobs and I am grateful beyond words of the chance that I get to wear the sacred name of Jesus Christ on my name tag that I get to put on each and every day. I am grateful beyond words for light. For the Light of Christ and the incredible power that it holds and the opportunity I get to share that with others, with God's precious children here, and that I get to be enveloped by it each day.
A quote that I absolutely love this week that I think I may have shared before but oh well because I love it so much and I think it's so absolutely beautiful is "There is no darkness so dense, so menacing, or so difficult that it cannot be overcome by light" -Vern P. Stanfill
Love you all!
