New Ward, new companion, sick?: Mainz/Wetzlar Week 23/1



August 10, 2015

Hello Family,

This week has been positive and good, a bit stressful adjusting to so many new responsibilities and new things in the new area, but it´s going well. Elder Cloward and I had a fun last few days together, I got pictures with some good friends (wish I could have with more). Got my bags packed and on Thursday I moved up to Wetzlar with Elder Domine. He is such a sweet person. So patient and loving. We had a couple fun days of working together then Sunday came around.

The morning was really hard, I just thought I was stressed or something and because of that that I had a stomach ache. During the church day I struggled to pay attention, had a head ache and just did not feel good. I left priesthood and threw up, so that was kind of comforting, "ok, I don´t have a headache and feel terrible because of stress, I´m sick". The Elders Quorum President over here gave me a sweet priesthood blessing and that helped. We canceled our meal appointment and went home. I called the mission nurse (she is SO nice) and she gave me some advice, then Elder Domine, so nice, said, " wait, give me the phone". "What can I do to help Elder Blanchard". Just so sweet and so good. Asking me how I was doing, patient, helpful and loving with the whole situation. God knows who we need to serve with, I am learning so much and loving my companion.

Today was a bit tight on emails, thank you everyone for writing me, I´ll get back to you next week on Tuesday, we`re planning to go to the temple.

Love,
Hayden
