well i guess i better start to type this email before we leave! this week was pretty slow. due to a couple medical accidents the work was short lived this week. my companion elder richardson had a severe allergic reaction to some fire ants, which put us in the hospital for like 27 hours! so elder richardson and i went over to a part member/less active house on sunday to check up on them and see how they are doing. anyways they started to remodel their backyard and its been forever since i did yard work so i asked if we could help out. so we go over to their house on tuesday to start helping and we just go and throw some dead grass into a giant pile. then we started to cut some of the live grass. (this isnt like lawn grass, its tall pampas grass) and as we are cutting the live grass we cut into 1- a wasp hive, and 2- a GIANT fire ant hill! anyways i had a big problem with them back in chalmette so i didnt want to deal with them again. (and kinda ran away screaming like a little girl...) yeah everyone was laughing at me. anyways, we just work through them. yeah we got bit but not as bad as we thought. but then sister neilson was like look at elder richardsons face! it was all swollen up and we started to make fun of him because he looked like will smith from hitch, then we look at his arms and his arms have like turned into one big hive!! so we take him to the urgent care down the street, and it just kept getting worse and worse! so he had to use his epi pen. haha and then when we pulled up to the instacare he ran into the building and everyone he saw he was begging them to help him. kinda reminded me of mom when she freaks out haha. it was funny but serious at the same time. so i was in charge of all the paperwork and the nurse who i was doing it with was like super mega pretty! so now elder richardson and the sisters always act like they are injured so they can say we need to go to instacare. haha. anyway, as we were there the nurses told us that he was getting worse so they called the ambulance and the ambulance came and picked us up and we went to the ER! it was so cool! i got to ride passanger of the ambulance! haha i was waving to all the people in traffic, so much fun! we got to the er and i did a lot of more paperwork and all that other stuff and just sat there as i waited for the okay to go in. okay well we were hoping we didnt have to stay the night but that was not the thing. we stayed the night and it was the worst! neither of us got any sleep because i was on a stupid couch and elder r had a whole lotta addrenaline and so that was that! we got around to the morning and by like 2 the doctors told us we were free to go! we are all good now and ive caught up on my sleep! so love yall and hope yall had a happy easter! elder horrocks
