Hey mom! I hope you're doing good and no worrying too much about me. Just an update, I went in yesterday to get a muscle biopsy, but the doctor explained that those test results wouldn't come in for a while and that it would be better to get them in the hospital I would be staying in long term. I spoke with President and while my tickets haven't been booked yet I will be leaving sometime early next week.
I am doing alright, physically my muscles have been in atrophy in the hospital and I've been having a hard time just getting around town, I'm definitely in no shape to proselyte anytime soon. I've lost about 25 pounds since I've been in Sweden, (I'm to 160 right now). So I'm a weak little thing haha BUT my Eczema is doing WAY better (it's nearly almost gone). This week has been an emotional rollercoaster, I'll be really happy and then really sad and then happy again in like 15 minutes. But I took a lot of comfort this morning from my mission scripture Joshua 1:9, especially when it says ''I will be with thee, withersoever thou goest''. I KNOW that the Lord has a use and a purpose for me no matter where I am!
I love you mom! I'm doing ok! Don't worry about me

I am out of the hospital right now, what I meant by 'long term' is that if I would be going to America it would be really difficult for the hospital in Sweden to transfer the test results and all that. So basically that doctor was saying if you're going home to get care then get this test at home it's easier for the hospital.
I have a couple of copies of the diagnosis summary of everything they did to me and all the test results which I will take with me. So that should be fine.
YES I have always been with my companion he's been staying with me in the hospital. He never left haha he's a trooper. I love Elder Falkner.
Yeah I'll put a summary of these last 2 crazy weeks for everyone so not everyone has to ask me. President called yesterday and told me he put in a request for travel for me on Wednesday, but the office in Salt Lake won't see it until today so I should be getting my flight itinerary sometime last this evening (my time) or early tomorrow. He said you would get sent a copy of it as well.
GAH this is crazy. This has without a doubt been the most BIZARRE week of my life. I think I might go pycho just thinking about everything that's happened/is going to happen.
This is a picture Elder Falkner took of me not last Saturday but the Saturday before, when we went into the ER thinking I was just getting blood tests and then leaving. Little did I know I'd be there on and off for another 4 days!!!
I gave probably my favorite testimony ever though just yesterday in sacrament meeting. I LOVE this ward and was able to explain what was happening and left a scripture with them. Remember my mission scripture? The one on the plaque back home? I was reading it the other day (Joshua 1:9) when I realized that it ends with ''withersoever thou goest'', and it hit me SO hard that it doesn't matter where I am or what exactly my calling is the Lord has a purpose for me and he's there to help me do it! It was a huge source of comfort for me. I had a great time yesterday.
Anyways I'm gonna start writing this whole group email thing.
Love you!
