Week 36: 8 Months And Sick In Bed

Well I have had quite the fun week ( psych ) it was super hard. 


The week didnt start off to good when the APs kept changing my travel plans to my new area. I was told 5 minutes before our " curfew" that my plans had changed and they would send a new bus ticket but by 12 I still didnt get it so I went to bed and got up at the time I was originally supposed to leave which was 5:00 so I had to get up at 4 to get to the bus station in time but when I got up I checked my email and saw that they had sent my new ticket and I was now leaving at 7:30 i was stressed out and nervous but went back to bed and left at the new time. 
I arrived in my new area and thats when I learned that me and my companion Hermana Cunha would be working not one, not two but three areas. Lets just say I lasted one day when I came down with a fever of 39.1°C and for you lovely Americans thats about 102.3 °F or so degrees so yeah it was bad. My whole body hurt I couldnt move or even lift my head for 2 days. It was pretty rough. I soon came down with a bad cough and stomach ache and I swear I was dying. But.... the members in my new areas are so sweet a member came by at 6 in the morning and gave me a blessing. He showed up with his wife in all blue and I swear in my mind I thought " oh look a giant blueberry has come to take me to my grave" I felt better and thought my fever had broken because I woke up soaking wet like i had just swum in my pool my sheets, hair, pillow and every thing was drenched  ( sorry if that grossed you out im just tryin to give you the whole picture ). I finally thought it had ended but... about 5 hours later my fever came back. On Saturday my fever broke again and I was told to work yeah well I lasted 10 minutes and thought I needed to throw up but I didnt we went to the church did some calls and went back home where I recieved another priesthood blessing.  ended up staying sick in bed Thursday-Sunday. My companion Hermana Cunha is an angel she ran back and fourth putting cold towels on my head and helping me get up to drink water. I think the reason it was so rough is that my fever would break and then come back worse and then break again and be better but break again and come back even more worse than the past time. By sunday night I was almost 100% and then we lost power I thought I was going to die but thanks to MANY prayers after three hours it returned and I was able to sleep some what calmly. 


But today we are traveling back to Salta for the zone christmas conference I am super excited and prepared to be spirtual uplifted from this long and exhausting week. 


Los amo a todos

Whatttttttt i cant believe I am at 17 months ! Monday we did a district Pday in the Mountains. It sounds all nice and dandy but it wasnt. The ride up was twisty and we were in this old bus that tilted off the side of the cliff everytime we turned. We saw a 100 foot tall virgin statue and then a few yards away this minsicule jesus statue that you had to squint to see ( argentinas sure got her priorities straight here ) It was over 100 degrees and dusty. We hiked and ate asado which was the best part. I felt like angelia in the office when I said the music was too loud. On my behalf we couldnt hear eaxh other and had to ScReAm to speak.  Anways we ended up getting stuck in the Mountain because we missed the bus twice but it was fine because we ended up playing Catan i was partnered with elder Heredia and we won. and we drank mate you know theres nothing like sharing the same drink and straw between 8 missionaries as a bonding exercise. we love a good mateada. Tuesday: we we...

Tuesday: we had a good day we picked up the Hermana Osmond from the terminal and got everything organized and we went to work we put 3 people on date for baptism so awesome and we have just been having a blast together. I am back to sleeping on the floor. With three of us sharing a room theres not enough beds so I am on the floor but I offered.  It will make me appreciate my bed at home all the more.  so right now i am kinda training not training both hermana Osmond and Hermana Ballam have just gotten out of their training and i am here to see how they will do on their own without me president literally called me personally and told me i am a glorified babysitter for the next 3 weeks itll be fun they are awesome i have enjoyed it so far .

Week 22: A Cruel Joke And Lautaros Baptism!!!!!!!

Image
Muy buenos dias bienvenidos a una otra semana!  Bueno this week was good on Monday me and Hermana Braatz wondered into a Catholic Mass where we got really wierd looks. It was a very peaceful experience we also saw some one get shushed by a priest and it was really funny we had to leave before we laughed to loud.  Thursday: our district leaders played a CRUEL joke on us. In the afternoon we waited patiently to recieve a call saying the Lautaro passed his baptism interview and at 4:30 or so we recieved a text from the Elders saying that they needed to talk to us about Lautaro because he failed his interview. We freaked out trying to call them sent texts and they werent responding so we trecked the 40 minute walk to Lautaros house and knocked on his door determined to find out what happened his sister answered and said that he had left because he failed the interview and we asked about what had happened and she told us that he couldnt answer some of the questions  because we...
