So strep throat hit me pretty hard this week. It started Tuesday morning but it was really weak so we went to work. At 4 when we got to our food appointment, I just couldn´t eat. So my comp ate all my food and we left. We went back to the house and I sleeeeept. I can´t tell you how bad I felt. Wednesday came around and I felt worse ALL day long. I was instructed to see a doctor if I felt worse on Thursday. All night Wednesday I was shivering with convulsions and hallucinating. I said at one point, "Why did you take my ham?". I don´t remember that but Elder Sanchez STILL cracks up about it. Woohoo laugh at the sick boy..... Haha. I felt a lot better on Thursday. I still have a little sting in the back of my throat but the meds I got from Presidente Rex have been a great help!!
My companion is AWESOME!!! He massaged my feet while I was sick and didn´t sleep cuz he kept putting cold wet towers on my head to keep my fever down. He just keeps teaching amazing stuff about how to be a better person and an amazing servant of the Lord. He just rocks. We teach really well together. Our understandings are a lot alike and we just teach and learn and testify non-stop. We have really been doing what we were taught in the MTC and that is to teach to the needs of the person. We apply the lessons in every lesson and that is what is so great!! We are able to do much together and I just feel really good about our lessons and about our companionship.
I received a question about our newest investigator and the answer for her is simple. She will be out of town until the 15th. We have an appointment with her then so I should have more information next week. We are still looking but with some problems with one of our Obispos and the members. Loreto isn´t doing too well. We are expecting changes in the Obispado soon because of all the problems. I´m praying.
We have had this one investigator for a long time now. Her name is Ivonne Molina. She is really great! She has just had a ton of fear because of her mom. We have successfully helped her find more faith than fear and she will be baptized on the 29th. SO EXCITED!!! She is really really great!! And she owns a little food place and we eat free. Haha.
Well I learned a lot about sickness and the part that it plays in taking us to the pits of humility. We have a choice to be bitter or to turn to the Lord and seek His help. This is a HUGE chance to show our faith and see miracles actively in our lives. But sickness is not the only time. 2Nephi 4:15-35. Read. Learn.
15. This verse tells us so much about the use of scripture in our lives. We can´t just look at the scriptures as a passing fancy. They should be something that fill our hearts with joy and understanding. We should meditate on those things that we learned throughout the day and apply them to our lives. We should constantly teach and share with others all that we have in this gospel. If you have kids, share your testimony with them. Make sure that they know without a doubt that you know that these things are true and that they can grow and live with the Spirit in their lives and YOU as their example and loving parent. Do the same with your friends so that they can´t have a doubt in their minds that you are a disciple of Christ and will stand for Him in all times and in all places.
I love you all and I´m hoping that you are enjoying life as much as I am!!!!
