Well, it's certainly been awhile since the last time I've posted a blog. Sorry about that everyone. I think I will probably make up for it with this one.
As some of you may have heard, on Wednesday morning I got out of the shower and was on the way to my room when I felt something wet on my face. I thought it was just water and then when I got to my room and looked in the mirror, I realized it was blood and it was coming out of my eye! I started panicking and washing my eye out with water and then I looked up, and felt like I was going to faint because I don't handle blood very well and it was all over me by that time, and then I was really grossed out from the fact that blood was coming out of my eye! I really didn't know how to handle it. Have any of you seen Casino Royale? Well, if so, remember the guy that cried blood when he was playing poker? Well that was like what happened to me but there was more blood and it was pouring out faster. Anyway, I so I got a nurse to look at it and she said everything was fine. I went about my day and started getting a painful headache, really dizzy, and my pupil was bigger than the other one. The nurse told me it was time to go to the hospital. Because I had bumped my head really hard a couple of days before and had a really bad headache for a couple days after and was a little dizzy, they were afraid that it could have been from that. When we got to the hospital, they ran a lot of tests, did a MRI, and took a blood test. They said I didn't have a concusion, and they told me everything else was fine as well. The next day, no blood came out of my eye but I had all the same symptoms plus I had a lot of pressure behind my eyes. I told the nurse and she said it would be a good idea to go see an eye doctor. When I went to the eye doctor, they did a whole bunch of tests as well and also said that nothing was wrong. It was pretty weird. Then when I got back from the doctor, I sat and talked with a couple of my friends the whole afternoon, and then took a test in lectures. When I walked out of lectures and opened my mouth to talk to people, I had lost my voice! It was so ridiculous! The next day I couldn't say anything at all, and that night I was able to squeak a little. This morning, I can almost talk normally, but my throat really hurts. Last night I had a cough attack and was up for most of the night with that. It was horrible! Luckily, I was able to sleep in this morning.
On a lighter note, tonight is "The Crossing," an event that the students (us) put on for guests from around town or people we meet on outreach. It's a really cool deal, they sing worship songs, they have a devotional message in German, and then after we'll get to talk to them and get to know them and pray with them if they want. Some of the boys I had in my group at English Camp are here already! They are a few hours early, but it's ok. Andrew, one of the guys I went on outreach with is taking them around the school and (can you believe it???) playing with them in the SNOW!!!!!!!!!! It will be a really cool night. Apparently, a lot of the German students who are attending school with me became christians at one of these events, and one of the girls from English camp who will be coming later on tonight, became a christian at one of the camp's Heinz (a staff member) taught at!!! If ya'll could just be praying over this event, praying for us that God would use us to minister to their hearts, and give us the words to say, and then also for the people that come that God would use this event to speak to their hearts! I would really appreciate it.
I guess that's pretty much all for now. I will try to keep this thing updated more often.
Love and miss ya'll!
Love in Christ,
