Macey Gates: Sister Macey Gates // Week Two

I miss you guys so much and thats crazy ryker is doing hunters safety already!! This week has been THE HARDEST most frustrating week of my life. the spanish is not coming along like i would like it too. Teaching the investigators this week has all gone so bad. I know i know the gospel its just hard translating it and weaving the right material together for the investigator. yesterday our investigator was our teacher and after he told us he felt so bad and felt like he failed as a teacher. Then devin anthony and his companion saw us and helped us out and gave us really good advice and we practiced with them. Then our teacher saw us and asked why we werent at lunch. then he pulled us to the side and said he has never felt more horrible in his life. He loves me and hermana homer so much and wants to help us he just doesnt know how. We felt like he was sad we were getting help from other people and didnt trust him but i hope things get better. I dont think ive ever prayed so hard and long and bauled in my life. Yesterday for so hard and i couldnt turn to my companion cause she was gettin so down on herself and wouldnt listen to me to help her out and she bauled the whole day. It really tested my patience and i made it through the day without slapping her in the face and today she finally listened to me. i read 1 nephi 17:45 and thats exactly how we were yesterday. Today i couldnt be more grateful for my trials and it makes me happy that sounds weird but it builds me. I got a priesthood blessing saturday from one of the elders in our district cause we knew it would help us get closer to them and i needed help. He told me that god hears my prayers i just have to be patient and then he quoted a scripture in it and it was luke 9:24 i think. I was actually talking about that concept to my companion the night before and it was amazing how he reassured me that way. Yesterday was a day i needed dad. I wanted a priesthood blessing from him so bad. I was going to ask one of the elders to give me another one but i know why i didnt because it was a day i had to help my companion out and not think about myself and what i needed. Saturday i thought i broke my nose cause we were playing basketball and my companion was showing off and she elbowed me in the nose so hard. I thought i heard a crack but it was probably the hit. It didnt bleed tho which was so crazy cause when my nose gets hit it bleeds that all there is to it ever since that shovel hit me in the nose. It was very swollen and the doctor couldnt tell if it was broken or not and said to come back on pday. we havent yet but after i got back to my house i prayed that the pain would go away cause it hurt so bad and i didnt wanna stay home for anything. Right after the prayer there was no pain in my nose. I started bauling and hermana homer was like what is wrong!! I said got heard my prayer. I havent had any pain since so i know its not broken. It only is a little sore if i push it. I know im here for a reason. I miss and love you guys!! Any who send me pictures!!! i will send you some!! I love you guys and i know things will get better here!
Love,
Hermana Gates
