T5B: 1) I got an amazing blessing from the mission president. 2) The day started out ... is there a phrase worse than abysmally awful? But it ended up fantastic. 3) I got to spend a little time with Saz (and I saw Limor and Tim). 4) I ate a REAL dinner! (First time in ... a week?) 5) I watched a couple episodes of Gintama.
basal temp: 36.41
Morning:
- was woken up by drunken people staying at mine ... didn't even get back to sleep :/
- got ready for district conference (wanted to skip it and have a lie in, but went)
- ended up sitting next to Sister Mataoa who REALLY needed a friend today
- "got" to translate the mission president's wife's talk into French (ooh the immense pressure ... I feel like I completely failed)
- had a chat with the mission president, got a blessing
- didn't get to skype my family :c
Notes: Between the no sleep, the second period within a week, and a misunderstanding with Jerod... today started out REALLY rough.
Afternoon:
- my blessing IMMEDIATELY started to be carried out
- had a REALLY good talk with Jerod
- saw Limor and Tim for a few minutes, said goodbye to them
- Saz went shopping, I went with her (so she didn't have to go alone)
Notes: I didn't mention it before, but I didn't understand ANY of the district conference because 1) My Japanese isn't good enough. 2) My sleep starved brain made it hard to focus. 3) Sister Mataoa needed to get some things off her chest. Still, I felt the Spirit. The only off thing about it all was when I was interviewed by the mission president. When I explained my medical troubles he said they were MY fault for not taking the offered option of birth control. I JUST got done telling you I tried EVERY single variety in the US and they made me sick and crazy and you're getting after for that!? Like, here: try cyanide. -No way! That's poison! -Ya, but this is Japan! -SO!? It was really frustrating for me. I wanted to say, "Look, the DOCTORS already don't listen to me, why are you joining their side of this whole thing!?" He also kept saying I should just go home and take care of it. I will go home when it is time for me to go home. If you want me to go now, I need you to pay for my flight, my salary I will be missing, and then I can go. Ok, I feel better. Had to vent.
Evening:
- Saz dropped me off and went home
- I watched some Gintama
- got to message Jerod for a long while today
- ate a real dinner! SCORE!
Notes: Wish me lots of sleep! And I am wishing it for you! XOXO, A
(It won't let me upload a video I took!!! GRRRR!!)
