I got sick I think!
Hey y'all
So this week we were crazy busy and found like a million investigators. The water got fixed on like Friday
and we have had a couple more power outages so that has been splendid.
But we bike and walk super far and it is still really really hot and I
am so flipping tired all the time! I haven't been able to study all
week because I feel so weak and tired every day during study time so I
have been resting as much as I can. I think Elder Roberto has been
kinda mad at me cause I think he thinks I am being lazy but I have been
so dead and I don't know why. Then finally on Saturday
at the end of the day while we were working my stomach started to hurt
and I got a headache and my bones felt weak and stuff. I kept saying I
felt sick but for some reason my companion kept thinking I was just
really tired and he kept saying "Wow, you are really tired!" Then
yesterday, on Sunday
we went to church and I felt like death. It hurt to bathe cause my
bones just hurt from the cold shock from the water and my stomach hurt
and my temperature started to rise and stuff. So after church we went
home and I slept all day. Elder Roberto kept coming in like every two
hours and asking me when we were going to work and I literally wanted to
kill him. Like, I AM SICK BRO! WALKING HURTS BRO! Despite every time I
told him I am sick and that my hole body hurt, he just couldn't grasp
the fact. One of the zone leaders texted us to see if I was okay and
Elder Roberto told him I was just really tired haha. I am not just
tired, I am sick! I AM DYING BRO!? Haha its okay I forgive him.
But
yah last night before bed I drank my magic drink stuff and I started to
feel a lot better after awhile. Right now, I don't have a fever anymore
and my bones don't hurt but I still feel a little fragile. SO this is
crazy cause this is my first time ever getting some sort of illness on
my entire mission! Which is absolutely insane. Because I am American
and I have been in the Philippines for almost 9 months and only now have
i gotten something. Usually right when all the Americans get here they
all have problems with sicknesses right away, but for me I have in good
health this whole time up to yesterday. So bummer dude my streak is
broken.
We have a baptism coming on Friday.
Its a 12 year old kid whose whole fam is Mormon. His parents are less
active and were too lazy to prepare him for baptism when he was 8 so
here we are. Plus next week we are gonna baptize his little brother who
is 9. We have been extremely busy since we got the other 2 Elders area
and now it is just 2 of us here in big old Lasam. Oh yah one of our new
zone leaders is a Filipino who was assigned here in Lasam for like 7
months and he wants to come do exchanges here on Tuesday
uhhhgg. Its really annoying cause He thinks we suck and keeps making
comments about how he is going to 'fix' Lasam or something. He keeps
making comments about stuff and talking about how much better Lasam was
when he was here but in reality all of his recent converts that he
baptized are less active and they haven't even been members for one year
yet. So there's that.
Yah this was a long and
hard week. We worked real hard but i was pretty miserable so that wasn't
fun. The apartment has been much quieter now that there is just 2 of
us. Hopefully this week will be better for me and even better for the
work.
I love you all!
