All is well mom. But thanks for writing back. That's awesome that you got the job!! Happy to hear that there are a lot of cool awesome experiences. How lucky of Maddie to get waved at by the prophet! haha. I feel lucky to just read his talks. I'm also super excited for conference. How did girl's camp go? How was being the cook? There is plenty of food here, but its always beans and rice with the tortillas that you had in your mission. And there is meat sometimes. I've lost a lot of weight though. As for my sickness, i had "tengea" or however it's spelled. I was in a lot of pain and had a fever for 3 days. The cure is to drink lots of water. Luckily that's what I do when I start to feel sick. So I was able to rid of it of it before I had to go to the hospital. The mission nurse was shocked that I was working while having this sickness. With my companion, I didn't really have a choice lol. He pushed me. But he gave me a priesthood blessing also and after that I started to get better. This disease is only found in Central America. It pretty bad. I talked to the nurse when I was feeling 100%. She told me to be careful not to get it again cause its worse the second time around. She told me if I got it again I would have to be transferred to another mission, probably back in the states. But it's all gone and I'm not getting it again. All the elders that I know that have gotten this disease have had to go to the hospital for about a week. I know heavenly father helped me out a lot. I did a lot of praying during that time of sickness and I got a couple blessing too. Prayers really do work and so do priesthood blessings. I know I'll be fine for the rest of my mission. Heavenly Father wants me here and I just need to be more careful.
We have a another date. I know this guy is getting baptized. When we met him he was prepared. He has denied the catholics, jehova witnesses and every other religion. But for some reason he accepted us. And he accepted our message. He also accepted the BOM and is reading it like a machine. He asked us when he could get baptized lol. He told us that he prays before and after he reads to understand what he reads and to know that it's true. He believes in it. In fact he teaches his own family the doctrine found in the book of mormon. His family wont listen to us though. But this investigator has a date for the 26 of August. I'll probably be gone by then cause it almost time for changes again. This change has gone by so fast.
So yeah that's all for this week. I'll write better next week. We are having computer problems. Love you mom and tell the family I love them too.
