This week
was interesting. Monday we had the normal p day. We had a family home
evening planned for that night that ended up not working out, but it
was okay. Tuesday morning my companion wakes up sick, throws up and has
a fever and is very sore. Not good signs, but he starts to get better
enough, to go to District Meeting, which was normal. Afterwards,
starts to not feel well again, so we call a member to come give us a
ride to the hospital. Arrive at the hospital, my companion goes through
and ends taking a whole bunch of meds through IV, but he leaves the
hospital feeling a lot better. We stop by the chapel really quick and
then head on home. Wednesday, my comp is back to normal so we set out
to work and we managed to find some new peoples to teach. We found a 13
year old girl who is a cousin of a member who has been wanting to be a
member of the church for a while now, but has never been able to b/c she
needs her moms permission. Really cool lesson though. Wednesday was
pretty good. We got to teach Andre and his wife as well and that was
super cool. Andre loved church and is super excited to come back. He
and his wife both came to church this last Sunday and they both loved
it! Thursday, my companion wakes up with the same symptoms as Tuesday,
except for vomiting. We come to the obvious conclusion that the
hospital treatment did not work. After lunch, its back to the
hospital. All these symptoms are common symptoms of a disease that is
common here called Dengue, which is a pretty nasty virus. The doctor
runs tests for dengue and parasites/bacteria, and while this is
happening, my companion gets another IV. After 2 1/2 hours waiting the
tests come back. Its not dengue, but its an intestinal infection and
tapeworm. The doctor was impressed that he had both at the same time,
but this time he passed a bunch of medications that seem to be working
just find. The crisis has passed. Friday was normal, just working
out. Saturday night I got to play piano for a devotional of the Relief
Society. Sunday
night we got to have an activity called the Member Missionary Training
Center in which we had 3 rooms in which Returned Missionaries and us the
Missionaries taught the members how to be better member missionaries.
It turned out really well and the members loved it! The activity will
continue for 3 more weeks and everybody is pumped for it. We´re super
excited as well!
I hope that you all have a great week! I miss you all!
Love
Elder Battraw
