GUESS WHAT!!! Start of a
new transfer today, which means mail, and YES, I got your package! =) Awesome!
Life is good. Anyways... that was sweet. Thanks =) P.
So companion.... this
week.... Health.... well. So, my Companion got sick with something this week so
he was out from Monday to Thursday. I worked one night on a split but stayed
with him. I was a little sick all week too, but you know me, that doesn´t slow
me down. But during a Branch activity Thursday night... I started to feel sick,
I started to feel a fever coming on, so I thought I´ll just try to go to bed a
bit earlier. Well come to find out I had a 102 fever all night, which I guess
is enough to call into the Mission Mom and she said to go to the hospital the
next day. Weeeelll... it got worse. My fever kept on hovering closer and closer
to 104, it wasn´t good. I couldn´t sleep, and I seriously thought I was going
to die. Never felt so close to death. Eventually the others decided to flag
down a random car in the street and drive me to the hospital where I got an IV
and everything. Fun eh? Turns out it was probably an intestinal infection, and
since I am American and this certain bacteria was probably very new to me it
hit me hard. I was out the rest of
Friday. But miraculously I was back on my feet and working Saturday (my comp.
is still slowed down by his).
But there is a good part
to all of this. I know this transfer has been really rough, but I truly feel
God has been putting me and my companion through a refining process so we will
be gold. After all this stuff this last week I feel my companion and I are
finally getting along better and probably wouldn´t have arrived at this any
other way, ya know.
Anyways, yesterday was his
birthday, and we had 3 birthday parties! The best though was the surprise one
from a family he baptized in an area 10 hours away. They randomly showed up
here and threw him a party, it was unbelievable. And I was lucky enough to be
sucked up into the joy of it all. Yesterday I felt the joy of the missionary
life and I don´t think it was because it was his birthday, I think this feeling
will stay =)
Anyways, that was my week.
I love ya’ll and talk to ya next week!
