This month was challenging for Elder May. He had some rough days/weeks with his
asthma. But through it all, he continued
to serve and work his calling by going to the foundation and the temple. He is truly a blessing and we love him to
pieces. Enjoy!
Hello Everyone! Happy
New Year!
I know it's a little past December but with all the holidays
and such, I kind of forgot to write an email until now. Thinking back to
December, there were only a few events that came to my mind regarding my
mission. My birthday and the Christmas Delivery Days that we did regarding Save
the Family.
My birthday was amazing. Save the Family decorated my office
with a banner and a seat covering and everything for me. I think I ended up
getting like 4 bags of presents from them too. All chocolate and different
kinds of M&Ms, just the way I like it!
The Christmas Delivery Days were amazing and insane at the
same time. The way it works is that different groups of people call us and ask
if they can buy gifts for families, we give them the wish lists for each family
and then on the delivery days, they bring us the wrapped gifts and we organize
them and deliver them to the families so every family can still look forward to
the holidays. It was amazing because so many different people had sponsored and
wanted to give families so many gifts. It was insane at the same time by how
many presents there were and how quick we had to be in order to keep it all
organized enough that we would still be able to function properly.
Unfortunately, I was unable to go on any deliveries but it was still a lot of
work even staying there and helping out with the rest of the staff. During the
last hour, I believe I had an unaware asthma attack as for what seemed like no
reason, my heart rate wouldn't go any lower than 140 beats per minute. I went
inside and started doing regular work and it still wouldn't go any lower. I
have finally started to recover from that during this week while as the last
few weeks I have been stuck doing treatments every few hours and taking a bunch
of different medicines and stuff like that. Luckily, with the New Year and all,
I have been able to completely recover and be ready to continue my work with
Save the Family.
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful 2016. Lot of change
for me and probably too much to take in one year but I am ready for the new challenges
that face me in 2017!
Love Elder May
