So Fast!

-
Not a huge amount of new things have happened so i'm just going start. So first thing is Elder Stradling went home today which is really sad. I suppose he has been having some family issues, so we have all been praying for him. After that, on Tuesday i went back to the dorms with a massive migraine, nothing I havent had before. Oh, and on top of that my ankle is fine but i've been sick since Monday so I've barely seen the outside of my room. today I'm better but I still have a sinus headache. My voice is all but gone, which is fine considering it hurts my throat to speak, but other than that, I think i'm doing alright. I miss all of you, a lot. I wish you could all visit me or vice versa but i know its not how it works. and for everyone that has sent me pics thank you it makes me so happy to see you, even just in a photograph. I've been singing all day every day and i'm sure my companion appreciates it ton, but to be fair I told him how bad I am at singing and how much I love to sing first day. Anyways, the night i went back with a migraine and took 2.5 hours to fall asleep apparently the halls were crazy. our branch president came and was roasting everyone, he challenged everyone to do a pull up and touch their hands with their feet. called them out one by one, with my companion being"chunky" and Elder Anderson being called out for being short he only had feet and hands and no core so it was too easy for him. then after all this brother Chandler(branch president's 1st counselor), keep in mind he's about 70 and has one broken foot, hops up and knocks out three of these pull ups easy. Then after he left, my room mates put a couch in our room and blew up a diet coke bottle with mentos in the shower. All with yelling and screaming as I slept like a baby. We've determined that out of our entire District I am the arm wrestling champ unless I'm against 2 or 3 other people at once. so uhh not to pat myself on the back or anything but uhh, *pat pat*. 

Other than that not much I guess. I didn't take many pictures, I figured my room isnt that cool. Oh! But we leave monday! it's crazy! I just got here and we are leaving already?! I'm pretty excited but ima miss the MTC. The other district in our zone is super cool and im gonna miss them too. It's bitter sweet I suppose. Anyways, I want to leave off by saying, PLEASE EMAIL ME MORE EVERYONE! Oh my goodness I miss you all and want to hear from all of you so much. its only two weeks in and im dying so please send more emails and/or letters! 

With Love,
       Elder Sommerville

Ps. In the MTC my p-days have been on thursdays. And in the field they will (I believe) be on mondays. However, I leave the MTC next monday. So, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to email back next after today. But please keep sending emails and pics because I miss you all so much and honestly it helps more than you all know.

Hey everyone! Have I mentioned I miss you? oh, well just in case, I MISS YOU! How is everything at home going? Also, I am still sick but also still having a blast. Been able to do a lot of progress and meet with a lot of people. Sadly one of our investigators is doing everything but coming to church so we may have to move her baptismal date back. I'm super tired and busy but love every minute of it. We have grown very close with this ward and this town. Yesterday we had a kinda movie night with the ward missionaries, less-active members and bishop tanner. We watched meet the mormons and it was great! Good food and great people, all thanks to Sister Riley opening her house to people. I don't know much else to say, Just keep us in your hearts and prayers so we can help serve those in this area. If you all want to send some letters as well, I'll allow it haha.          With love, Elder Sommerville oh yeah.... I almost forgot! We saw and went into an investigators bunker i

First Week in the Field!

Okay, so I don't have much time. I'll better plan my emailing hour next week and do this first but here goes. I'm in Gallup, New Mexico for my first area with Elder Johnson. Sadly we did not get any pictures yet. I love my companion, area, and ward. Everyone is so nice and caring and our dinner schedule is already practically full! Me and Elder Johnson, in an effort to save money and lose weight are dieting together, which is hard with all the dinners but we'll figure it out. It hasn't snowed yet which bugs me a bit but I suppose is alright. I'll allow it for now. anyways, I was sick last week, got over it on the way to new mexico, and first night got super sick again so I'm trying to fight off a cough now but thats okay because i'm mostly past the sickness. Been working hard, not hardly working. Met a lot of people and love each one of them. have been teaching one lady named Valerie and her kids and just broke through to her boyfriend when the next m

20:..... SOOOOOOO.... Interesting News

So Quick story,  Monday  morning I'm at a member's home and President Adams calls me, asks if we can meet at  1:00  or  noon . I say  1:00  because I am planning on emailing at  noon . So I did, I emailed you all about the ER and stuff. After I go to meet with President Adams and he Hands me my Itinerary and says I'm going home because I need to take care of my health and they just can't help me enough in the field. So, I'm home now! I'm also very conflicted, I am happy to be home and see friends and family. However, I'm sad because I miss the mission and every one in it. Yet, I know that my Heavenly Father has a plan for me and there is a reason other than just sickness for me to be here and learn something or help someone. Or Both. I know President and Sister Adams did everything they could to help me and they truly loved me enough and cared for me enough to do what Heavenly Father has told them I need. I love and appreciate them and everyone in my mission
