| Lots of Rain Here |
Well I hate to break all your hearts this week, but I don’t
really have much to say. I got a stomach
bug and have spent most of the week in bed. I lost 3.5 kilos (about 8 lbs.) this week, I
had 3 fevers that got so bad I was shaking my brains out and it hurt super bad,
then I threw up for the first time on the mission and again the next day. The last time I was scared that I would get
sent home and I told the nurse I didn’t want meds, that I wanted just the Lord
to save me. Turns out I was right
because every time they would inject the medicine into my IV line, it would
irritate my veins and cause the fever. They
tried a few different spots and it did the same, so they resorted to giving me
injections in the butt. All in all, I
have over 30 new needle scars in my body and in my butt. I also got my ingrown toenail removed on Saturday.
I have 3 types of bad things in my
stomach and that is probably what my mission president told you last week. I ended up with almost 6 days in the hospital
and I have more bad news. I will be on a
diet of no greasy food, no fatty food, no milk products, no spicy food, and no
sodas or other irritants for the rest of the mission, and even if I follow this
diet there is a good chance I will have diarrhea for the rest of the mission
too. I am not very excited about it and
I think my mission president will change me to a stateside mission if I don’t
get any better; because he has changed guys for this kind of thing before.
I will say on a more positive note, that a girl in my
serving area got her mission call to Mexico City Southeast mission. Now for those at home that’s the same mission
that Brother Stutznegger is president, and for those at home who don’t get out
much, he is from Gridley Stake!
I sent some actual pictures this week too so hopefully you
guys will enjoy some more of that. Don’t
worry about me, just make sure you are helping the missionaries in your area do
the Work of Salvation!
