Week 98

Hello family!

Goofing around on P-Day with Elder Niemela.    Dec 2013

So, I will be able to Skype you this upcoming Sunday!  I have church from 10:30am-1:30pm, and I would expect to Skype anywhere between 2:00pm and 5:00pm.  I hope that is okay for you!  I will be going over to one of my recent convert's homes that I taught while I was here a year ago!  I'm excited for you to meet him!  He is so great!  He is such an intelligent man and gives me such great advice, I love him!

The doctor's appointment this past Tuesday went well.  We talked about the different symptoms I have before I have a migraine, and during, and we also talked about different ways I can cope with smaller migraines.  Normally, what I do is go into a dark room and rest/close my eyes because my head hurts so bad.  President Bonham and another friend here know a lot about migraines, so I am super grateful that they can help me as well.  I should be able to overcome these migraines soon.  For when I do have a migraine, the doctor prescribed me Immitrex 100mg.  I am supposed to take it when I feel a migraine coming on, and if that doesn't help to take another dose, but to not exceed two doses in 24 hours.  

So, I just received news that this is my last area!  I am not getting transferred!  Nor is my companion!  Woohoo!  It is crazy to think that this is my last transfer before I finish as a full time missionary for the Lord.  I don't know where the time has gone!  It definitely has been the best 2 years of my life, and for my life.  I will forever be grateful for this wonderful time I had to serve!  I still need to work hard and diligently - enduring to the end doesn't only apply to our life, but to many other things as well!  :)

That is so awesome that you are finishing up your temple classes, Mom!  I am so PROUD OF YOU!  Receiving your endowments are such an amazing blessing, and I am so happy that you are going to make more covenants with our Father in Heaven!  I cannot be your escort (it needs to be someone of the same gender), but you can count on me being there when you go through!  :)  How could I miss such an important moment?!  

I love you all so much!  You are all so great!  I hope you have a great week!  I can't believe the school year is almost over!  Time flies!

Love,

Elder Alexander J Annand
