Thriving with 9 Advil a Day


Hey guys! This week has been okay. Transfers were this week, and I had to see Elder Pettingill leave🥲  It was so sad because he's the only companion I've ever known. Now I don't have a barber. So pray I find a good one. 
 
My new companion is Elder Ertmann. He has 3 transfers left before he goes home. So he is very knowledgeable, which is what I need. He came straight from Atlanta, so he's gonna have fun in Americus. This transfer should be good. 
 
Yesterday, he wouldn't let me play with the puppies at the Coopers house because we were there for too long. So if he keeps that up, it'll be a longggggg transfer.
 
We put our friend Adrian on date to be baptized. Well, kind of. We told him to pray about what date does God want him to be baptized. Elder Ertmann put him on date. But the stressful part is that Adrian lives 45 minutes away from the church building, has never been to church, and doesn't have a car😃  
pls pray for Adrian😀🙏
 
On Wednesday, Elder Pettingill and I changed China's flat tire. Her jack for her car lwk sucked so it was so hard to get the car in the air. BUT once it was in the air, the stupid car would roll back and get off the jack. So I'm like, bruh, u gyat to be joking. So we try 2 more times with hers and her neighbors jack. STILL ROLES BACK. So I go inside her car and see the E brake ain't on. So I turn it on, and it works flawlessly. I'm so happy I'm so skilled and knowledgeable. And also, thank goodness Elder Pettingill was there. He did everything, and I just watched. Except for the one time i did so something, I was winded. Trying to put up the jack was hard work. PLUS, it was so hot outside. 
 
After putting her tire on the car, I was SOO tired. And I barely did anything💀💀 I had a headache, my heart was beating out of my chest, and my whole body hurt. 
 
Well, my headache lasted for 3 days until I went to urgent care because I was hurting like a mother. 
(Yall, I just heard a gunshot while I'm writing this. Normal Americus)
They ran tests, they took my blood, and she took my blood pressure, standing up, then sitting down. Then the doctor told me I had a tension headache. She said a shot and pills will help. So she leaves, and a nurse comes in with a shot, so I roll up my sleeve. She says it doesn't go there. WHAT. SHE GAVE ME A FREAKING SHOT ON THE BUTT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. But it made me feel so much better. I'd do it again. 
 
 
THEN, on Saturday, I wake up early to my heart and my arm hurting like the Dickins. I fs thought I finna die. So I went on with my day. I'm still hurting, hoping it would go away. By 7pm, I was still hurting, so I called the mission doctor. He said he didn't know what was going on. So I talked to a cardiologist, and he said that when I was jacking the car up, I sprained a muscle in my chest that goes to my arm, and that's why it is hurting. He said I should take 3 Advil pills per meal. 9 ADVIL PILLS A DAY. So, every since then, I've been feeling healed! God is so good!  
 
Let me know how yall are doing. I enjoy the emails I read them all!
 
Love, 
Elder Clayburn
