Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great week!! :)
Nothing crazy happened for me this week...other than a spontaneous trip to the hospital! (Twice in 1 day 🎉)
I'm not gonna lie... I was ready to start planning my own funeral! I had a crazy high fever for 3 days, and I had alot of other problems going on :/
I missed the realest homie #mom
The small portion of confidence I had in my Japanese was shot down so hard haha. Doctors asking me medical questions...me looking at my companion....them realizing that I'm American....me looking at my companion....my companion looking at me....and then we all just get a headache haha.
I had alot of tests and I find out what is causing problems sometime today or tomorrow. They took 3 huge viles of my blood and I thought that I was going to stand up and just collapse! But on the flip side, they put me on medication that requires me to take 10 pills a day! But am I actually doing it?.....yes. ha jk no :)
They gave me 4 different kinds of prescriptions! As much as I trust the quality of Japanese things...the quantity can be a little frightening.
I should be okay sometime this week! Hah don't worry about a thing mom ;)
The day I started dying was actually Zone Conference. President and Sister Nagano walked in the room...and all they had to do was look at me and they were like, "Woa. Sister Phelps what is happening to you?" That's when I started having a fever....and Sister Nagano almost sent me back home (to Tsukuba)! I'm so glad she didn't because I wanted to stay so bad!
Sister Mitchell and I had interviews right after the conference, and I had one of the most amazing experiences IN THE WORLD!! I was pretty much a huge mess all day. But when I was in my interview with President Nagano...something really special happened. He was talking...and then he stopped mid-sentence, looked at me square in the eyes...and said, "Sister Phelps....You are so pure. Your heart is so pure."
That moment....was a moment I will never ever forget. After he said that, I knew it was inspired from the Lord. I got to experience, first hand, how my Mission President was being used as an instrument in the hands of God. President had no idea of the inadequacy I was feeling that week...the prayers that I was pleading towards heaven....but God knew. He knew how I was feeling. And he knew the reassurance I needed to keep going.
He asked me if he could give me a priesthood blessing....and honestly...it was one of the most spiritual moments I have ever had on my mission. I felt as if it was the Lord speaking to me himself. He said EVERYTHING I needed to hear. He told me that I am worthy to be on this mission. That I am qualified. That all of my worries, fears, and doubts are going to pass. He told me that I am a special daughter of God. When the blessing was over, I just stayed in my chair and just cried. President reached in his pocket, gave me a packet of tissues and he just started crying! I stood up, shook his hand and just thanked him. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and just said, "Sister Phelps I love you. And i know that God does too. You just radiate with his spirit."
The Lord really does know us individually. I am so grateful for the priesthood. I know that those special keys are restored to the earth today. I encourage you all to make a conscious effort to make the priesthood a big part of your life. It definitely is a big part of mine! :)
