    So during weekly planning last week, we were PUMPED! I was telling my companions about all the work we were going to do! We even had a plan so that way we could get  4 hours of tracting! YEAH IT DIDN'T HAPPEN? 
Are you ready to hear about it? 
LETS GO!!
    Tuesday was not a good day, I slept all day. But that pumped me up even more! I was so ready to make up for it! Later that night Sister Stacey sat on my bed and said "Dun dun duuunnnnnn!!! I need to tell you something...."     
    *Sister Whites blood pressure visibly increases.  "What..."
    *Sister Stacey proceeds to explain symptoms that do not belong on a weekly email. That had been going on for two weeks!!!
    *Sister White freaks out because the symptoms are symptoms of internal bleeding!!!!
Sister White "We are going to the hospital NOW!"
Sister Stacey "No. but I hate hospitals!" 
Sister White "YEAH! I DON'T CARE!!"
    *Sister White wakes up other companion and drags them both to a hospital in Hattiesburg
-   *companions complain the WHOLE TIME
       We go into the emergency room, it is probably about four in the morning by the time we get admitted to the ER. They do some tests (Oh well they do tests AFTER we had been there for four more hours!!) the results of the tests....
SISTER WHITE IS RIGHT!! SISTER WHITE SAVES THE DAY!!! 
I promise I only rubbed this in after she was discharged...
SO they admit her to the hospital! They keep testing her, but they scheduled scopes of all sorts for the next day. President called and told us to leave her in the hospital, but I convinced him that I was okay sleeping on the chair so he let me stay with her for the two days that we were there. It was fun! I had permission to walk around the hospital. I made friends with ALL the nurses! one nurse saw me signing to Sister Stacey, because I could go into the CAT scan room with her. And we found out that she taught deaf children line dancing! Which was awkward because I was complaining to Sister Stacey that she thought I was her mom. I guess it is a compliment that EVERYONE thought that I was her mom. I am a little confused because I tied my blanket and wore it as a cape EVERYWHERE!!
      I was getting on an elevator and this big black lady stopped and pointed at me and yelled "LOOK IT'S BATMAN!! I told her not to reveal my secret identity to everyone. One of the nurses started calling me the flying nun after I told her about how I teach people about Jesus.
      One nurse I KNEW! She had prepped me for MY procedure. It was so cool! She was telling everyone about how I got my mission call and all the crazy people we meet.
     One last story! It has been RAINING!! We sat in the parking lot of highland baptist church for almost an hour, because I couldn't see well enough to drive Sister Stacey home from the hospital! The next day though it was dumping again, so I put on some shorts and a t-shirt and shampooed my hair in the dumping warm rain! SO MUCH FUN! 
      So there are other things that happened this week and probably more stories about the hospital, I will keep y'all updated on my companion! I will send some pictures! 
Love Sicky Chicky Sister White

I would never have thought of washing my hair in the rain - but now I will! Good job taking care of your companion, Mama White!
