Called to Serve Him: Sick... :(

My dear loved ones,

I would like to report that this week was slightly less than awesome.

;P Tuesday night I got sick with some kind of stomach bug and have been sick since.... I didn't eat much until Friday when I got some rice. Sunday I ate an actual meal. Our sweet Sister Smith made us some amazing Korean, their egg rolls and wontons are so yummy!! Yay for leftovers. She also gave us some melon Popsicles and they are so melon-y I feel like Elder Bryans would have liked them. ;) Today I am feeling quite a bit better, but I did have to go to the doctors. :( President insisted, however the Doctor was amazing! He was so familiar with Mormons and had a lot of good things to say about us.

I feel terrible because I didn't have a pass along card with me..

Shame! Must be better prepared. I pray the Lord puts him into another missionaries path. (Not mine... I don't wanna go back to the doctor,lol)

To be completely honest.. I don't remember anything from this week. I have done so much sleeping and just not feeling with it. But oh well!!

Few things for y'all; my Relief Society president is a gem! <3 She came Saturday to take care of me cause Sister Bolos was out with a member teaching. And she just mothers and loves and is amazing!!!!

Also on Monday before I got sick she took us out on a tour of Jacksonville and we saw some amazing things! We also went to the most amazing candy shop ever, it is truly straight out of a magazine. SO perfect and magical. If I could I'd work there. ;) Honestly I feel so blessed by the love and care of the members so many of them have been concerned for my well being. I just love them all!!!

<3 <3 <3

Wednesday we had interviews and I love President and Sister Craig more than I can express. They are so amazing. President gave me a blessing because I was sick and I felt so much peace and love. He is an amazing man! I feel so blessed to have known them, even if only for a short time. OH! Btw they go home in 2 weeks =( Ahh sad news time.. :( Sister Bolos is gone. She left me this morning at 8. I will be forever grateful for everything she did as my trainer.

I love her and I will miss her!! But I know she is going to be an amazing member missionary and such a gift to the missionaries that serve in her ward. (Slightly jealous!) I know who my new companion is, Sister Saxton, I was on tradeoffs with her on Thursday. She is really sweet and I love her. I am so excited to work with her. I pick her up on Wednesday. Until then I am companions with Sister Gissom- she is pretty adorable. From Tennessee and has the cutest accent. I love it so much!!!

My Gators are still progressing. And our cute little Harry is as adorable as ever. We are hopefully gonna go over to do service sometime this week. Our family is amazing!!! They are coffee free! =D And are steadily working on the smoking. They can do it I know it!!!!!! Rachel and Doug are also doing really well. Rachel really loves church and she is so sweet. Still struggling with the whole chastity thing... But we are working on it. I am so excited for their growth. I love them all!!

Otherwise.. Not much else. I love you all. All is well!!! And I know that He is very involved in His work. He sends us where He needs us.

He provides for us always. He loves us unconditionally. Have peace in this knowledge.

Love Sister Bryans

We had a funeral our final district meeting for Elder Randall and Sister Bolos. Missionaries are so silly.


	But this is our district plus our zone leaders. (We're an even number... So we always have an extra companionship show up.)	From right to left Elders: Karen (Zone Leader), McBride (in Dunn Ave with me), Gueist (ZoneLeader), McConkie (District Leader), Rodgers (2nd transfer with DL), Randal (also in Dunn Ave). Right to left Sisters: Myself, Bolos, Smith, Clark. YAY!
