Grounded!

From January 30, 2012

I've been grounded in my apartment for days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaahhhhhhhhhhh. Okay. it's not all that bad, but really. I'm 22 and have been grounded. haha, S. Bond has been super sick. We don't know what it is. She was aching and shaking, and super super exhausted. So Monday night we were told to take a long shower and go to bed early. Oh, and this is when I was having the icepick headaches too. So we did. Then, on Tuesday we only left our apt to go to one appointment, then the rest of the time we were in the apt and S. Bond was sleeping and I was bored. really bored. and ordered by S. Wilkey to take a nap. So, then Wednesday came, I was fine, headaches gone, and S. Bond was worse. ugh. She got a blessing and still no bueno. Thursday she and I went to district meeting(us and the elders are trained) and after that she was super worn out and we stayed home the rest of the day and night. Then Friday we went to the doctor. Lots of tests and such, no results yet. And Saturday we were not allowed out of our apt. Sunday we went to church and S. Bond was feeling better. now she's not as tired but more aching and not so focused in the brain. haha. That sounds funny... but sad!Ookay anyways can you tell I'm a bit stir crazy? Anyways. I'm being productive and keeping busy by making creative ways to teach children the gospel... lots of games have been made and the elders are super excited because we are being nice and sharing our genius with them. 

Oh, this is S. Bond's view of last week:
"I got super sick this past week.  We had a grand total of 3 lessons....how sad is that?  S.Merrell was laughing at me all week.  I'd getting ready to do something (looking like I was ready to pass out) and we'd have a conversation like this:
S.Bond: Okay, are you ready for weekly planning?
S.Merrell:  Go to bed.
S.Bond:  No.  We have to do weekly planning.
S.Merrell:  We will.  But first you have to go lie down.
S.Bond:  No.  We have to do weekly planning.
S.Merrell:  Okay S.Bond.  Go to bed.
S.Bond:  No.  We have to do weekly planning.
S.Merrell: Okay S.Bond.
(I'd get all of my stuff out and ready to go)
S.Bond:  Okay, I'll go lie down for like ten minutes and then we'll do weekly planning.
S.Merrell:  Okay S.Bond
Then I would go sleep for four hours.  It was BAD.  I hate not working.  The mission president's wife, Sister Wilkey, quarantined me.  It was the worst week of my life.  I hate being grounded.  We were able to come up with a lot of fun games though for teaching children.  "

Yeah that conversation really did happen. and the best part is the elders felt really bad for us that we were grounded, so they made brownies for S. Bond, and she shared with me. They were really good brownies too. Like almost the best. I mean, Dad, you make the best, but they could compete a little. they were a little gooey and soft, perfect for under ice cream and hot fudge... which will be happening later today:)

anyways... love you lots and lots!!!!!!
