| At the Copan Clinica |
Hola mis amigos!
Another week done and as the title says, yes I officially contracted a parasite. Only took me two weeks...so yeah you could say I'm embracing the culture.
I can tell that story first. So basically, some poor timing of our fast for fast Sunday starting and my stomach deciding to do some spring cleaning left me extremely dehydrated. We were at the baptism of 2 people the other missionaries here in Copan have been working with for a long time but unfortunately it was not the most enjoyable time for me because I was extremely dizzy and experiencing pain everywhere. After, we rushed me back to the house, and by this point I couldn't feel my legs, arms, or face and I had some gnarly chills. I was starting to get really scared. Elder Perry gave me a blessing and then I fell asleep for about an hour. I woke up with a 102.3 fever and started to feel better. Long story short, I couldn't eat anything the following day without my stomach rejecting it so we went to a clinic where they did some tests and gave me some meds so yeah. This is lit. Still going through it, so prayers are very much appreciated.
Other than that though, it was a really good week. Still teaching a lot, but a lot of people just don't care, but hey at least we are able to share and plant a seed.
Quick Highlights:
-Attended the wedding for Byron and Seidy (the two people who got baptized)
-Ran into an American member of the church in the street. Just an awesome tender mercy.
-Spanish is improving a ton. Still difficult to respond to people but I can understand almost everything if I really pay attention.
-Didn't die from the parasite
Prayer is so powerful. I think I said more prayers this week than in my life, both in lessons and on my own. I just want to testify of and invite you all to pray. God listens. And why not pray? We can all receive guidance, strength, and peace of mind from the most powerful man in the universe if we take the couple minutes to close our eyes and just open up to Him. The blessings we have and the blessings we need. I invite everyone to say a prayer of just gratitude. Every time I do this, my testimony that God lives and blesses me individually grows so much.
Thank you so much to all of the prayers and words of advice/encouragement so many of you gave me this week!
Love you all so much!
