Hey family! thanks so much for the emails it really helped me alot. Things are doing a lot better! I just had a really hard night the night I talked to you dad. Cause my hip was hurting and what the bishop said to me. So it was just scary. Because I have come way to far in the mission. Into learning the language and loving these people. It was just hard to think about it. I think I jumped to things quickly. Cause there are for sure ways to get around surgery for another year. So dad I don't think calling the mission president yet is good. Cause they haven't even seen the X-rays yet. So I think I gave you guys the head start. So thank you so much for your prayers and everything that you have all done for me! My hip is doing ok I can walk just it hurts at times.
But something that has really helped me during this hard trial, is what an amazing week we had! we were none stop. We got all of our hours in. We gave 3 books of mormon away each day of the week! We got 12 come backs for all of this week! It was unreal. My finnish is doing good! Its not perfect and everytime I open my mouth mistakes do come out of it, but I can communicate the gospel of jesus Christ. I can give a book of mormon and tell how much it has helped my life and it can bless there life! That's what I need my language for, I don't want it to do anything else with it. Cause lets be honest when am I ever going to use finnish again in my life. Only 5 million people speak this language. I want to learn it to better the lords kingdom. So people can truly come closer to Christ.
The hard day I was having was Saturday. But it was a special day also. We wake up and go to football practice because its there Football camp. They were dressed in full pads and it wasn't anything to look at. People kicking the helmets. Smoking before practice. It is way different here than what it is like in America that is for sure. We leave and go home and go to the bishop's house for Lunch. He knows bones and joints. So he looked at my X-rays and said it looks like they need to shave the left hip so its more round! I was like WHAT no way and than he said the other way is the brake the hip and put a completely new hip in there. Again I was like no way. It was really hard to hear all this. It sucked big time that's why I think I was jumping to things because those are the only 2 things he said! Se after we have a teach with our Wang friend. Elder little is a lot like me and loves to talk. We didn't really plan out the teach so it was hard for me to get a word in. After the teach we get into a huge argument and it was pretty bad. We than talked about it and made up and I think even best friends are going to get into fights when they are living with each other 24/7. It was good experience for the both of us. Yeah mom I have studs as companions I am shooting 50% percent right now 2/4 haha. After we went to Yoga with the bishop and 4 non members it was at the church. FREak I think Yoga made me more so than ever that's for sure. I couldn't do half the stretches because of my hip but it was all good. Tracted for an hour and Gave 3 books of mormon away it is crazy. ME and elder Kelley never did that. I think with the right combination things can happen. We come home and I just start crying for some reason just thinking about my hip and everything. Cause I started to write you dad and mom a letter and the water works came. I went over and talked to riitta and jouni. And than after Elder little gave me a blessing which was an amazing blessing. After he gave me a hug and says Wow man the lord knows you're a special spirit and now I know you're a special spirit. It was really cool to hear.
I am not so much sure I have anything more. Other than the work is being blessed so greatly. Me and Little are doing the Work and having so much fun with it. My hip is not going to stop me from accomplishing what the lord has asked of me. I am strong I have the lord to rely on and always through those hard times he carries me and all of us. Through thick and thin. Charle you say you have had some hard times man chuck THEY ARE great huh?? They only make us stronger throughout our life. I know in the heat and moment of all things they SUCK trust me I am having one right now but as we look into the future which is basically impossible for us humans to see the our Father's plan for us, we'll know everything does happen for a reason. But it is how we endure those hard times. If we do rely on the lord and put our trust in him. We all go through hard times. Ej jr. has had them Dad is having them right now which man dad I am really sorry your gout is not going away. Mom has had them with work. But we always come over conquer. We always come on top because we have the gospel of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. We are apart of a royal generation. We do have the upper hand in all things cause we know there is a plan of happiness. I think our family is on that path we all made it to temple together. We are striving to fulfil each commandment. I love this gospel and how it truly blesses lives. We can bless lives by sharing and that is what I am doing. I love you guys and I know I will keep you udated for sure!!! Promise. Let me know also what the specialist say about the X-rays. The SHOTS Sound a whole heck of a lot better!!!
I love you
Elder Caffaro
