Well i don’t
want to frighten anyone with what went on this weekend but it was not a good
one! So i don’t know if i have mentioned in the last e-mails my knee had been
swollen up and hurting, i think i bumped it playing basketball of volleyball or
something, then i was talking about being a little sick. Well that all hit hard
this weekend. So it all began on Friday we went and helped someone move that
morning i didn’t do much cause the day before my knee had gone down but then it
got big again that morning, so i was a little worried to do anything on it. So
That night i went on an exchange with the assistants so i went up to phili with
Elder Bezas for the night. So that night i couldn’t sleep i was throwing up,
pooping up blood, had a bad fever, chills, sweating really bad, chest pain
and couldn't breathe really. So i was like crying it hurt so bad, so
at 3 in the morning i woke Elder Bezas up to give me a blessing, i was able to
sleep 2 hours that night. So first thing in the morning i called the mission
doctor, sister Shaefermeyer and tried figuring something out. They told me to
go to an urgent care place, so i did. When i got there and the doctor looked at
it she was like "oh no this is bad" she couldn't really do
anything there so they sent me to the E.R., at this point in my mind i was
freaking out going through all the bad situations, i was like oh no I’m going
home what am i going to do it just scared me! So i got there and it took awhile
for me to get in. But they just ran some blood tests, they tapped my knee, which
means basically they took a big needle and tried looking for an infection in my
joint, it hurt! haha but they didn't find anything. SO they basically
just gave me antibiotics, a steroid and pain meds and sent me off.
The sickness
has gone away, but the pain and the swelling in the knee is still there! I cant
do anything really for a few days so i have been just sleeping the medicine
knocks me out! But luckily we have the best ward mission leader he just takes
care of us all day! But hopefully it will get better soon, for now i am just
crutching around trying to stay off of it as much as possible!

Anyways
other than that we had a really good week! haha Guess what? i am going to the
temple tomorrow even though its going to be tough with the knee i am so excited!
one of the families i re-taught in my first area in Reading is going to the
temple to get their endowments out and be sealed! i am so happy for them and
this is for sure one of the highlights of my mission, i will be sure to take a
lot of pictures for all of you to see. Also we have some cool investigators
that should be getting baptized in the upcoming weeks so all is good here, Its
just really hard at the moment cause i want to get out and work but I cant so,
please can you all pray for me so i can recover fast and get back out there. I
need the Lords help! I love you all, you’re all amazing!
Thanks for
everything,
Elder Smart
