9-1-1

Dear Mom, 

Yeah so, sorry about last week we just had a lot of things going on. Well these last 2 weeks have been crazy and super long. Elder Johnson was Diagnosed with Depression this week and it has been taking a toll on him. So it has been a long unproductive week. Then in Conference the 2nd session on Saturday he was not feeling well and he got up to get a drink. He said he ran out of breath immediately and sat on the couch in the foyer. I went up to him cause he was pale and i asked him if he was alright. He couldn't even say 2 words to me. I was thinking o crap, then he said, "I'm cold and i cant feel anything." so i was like where is the phone, and he pointed to his pocket so i got it out of there and started to call his doctor. I was thinking it was an allergic reaction to the medicine that he was taking. While i was talking to the Doctor it got worse, he is shaking and spazing out. Luckily we live in the ward that pretty much everyone is a doctor. So i went and grabbed the bishop that is a heart surgeon and he came and Took control of the situation. 9-1-1 was called and 2 cops, an ambulance and a fire truck pulled up to the church, which i thought was very impressive! They found out that he had an anxiety attack that was super bad. So we went to Presidents house and i sat there and watched Priesthood session while President and Elder Johnson Talked. 

So just today we found out that Elder Johnson is going home. He leaves tomorrow morning at 9. He is going home with a medical release. So yeah, it has been pretty rough for me having to deal with all of that but i am glad that we got it all figured out and that he can go home and get on some meds and get back to normal. Another missionary happens to be going home this week as well so his companion and i are going to be companions temporarily. Yeah crazy story. 

I loved the packages that i got! Kaesi sent me a package, her family sent me a card and then the Hills sent me a package as well!   

My Birthday was really good, i had a good time. A member drove us home from dinner in his convertible! That was sweet! And yeah, it is just weird that i am now 19. Im soo old.

So the whole sending Grandpa a Book of Mormon. I was listening to the recording that you sent and you were talking about Grandpa and i had a big impression that i needed to send him one. So i dont know why, but i did it and i sure hope that he reads it and likes it. 

So yeah we will see what happens this next week. I have been out 9 months though on a lighter note! Someone could have gotten pregnant 9 months ago and had the baby by the time that i have been out! Crazy eh!!! haha

Well i hope yall have a great week and wish me luck with everything that is new! Love you guys!  

Love Elder Nielson
