I hope all is going well! This week was better, as for the weather. And for cancellations, we only had 13, ha. Okay, I thought it was better but it really wasn't. But! It still beats 19! So...drum roll...this week is transfers and here is the big news...I am staying! Yay! And so is my companion. We aren't changing. We have only been with each other for a month now so it wasn't too much of a surprise. They are some changes of people in the zone but me and my district are staying the same.
So, for the anniversary I have to explain how we do our first contacts with investigators. Once we have our first lesson with the potential investigators we go through our "first contact" routine. We start out by introducing ourselves and our families with photos. And this last week or so as I have been showing the photos I realized how long it had been since I had since my brother Michael. And I realized that yesterday was the three year anniversary since he went on his mission. That was a shock. I can't believe it's been three years. That seems so long. But that is a part of the sacrifices that we make as missionaries. Only 8 months to go! Then I will see you again Michael!
Ahh (letting breath out). Another day of getting sick. On Wednesday night we didn't eat because we had to cancel our meal appointment to be able to go to a meeting. The meeting wasn't all that great and when we got home we were hungry. We tried to go to the restaurant right next to our house but it was closing, so what do we do? We go to the nearest food truck. Those are big out here. We ordered my favorite, poisson cru and went home. We ate that night and went to bed. As I woke up Thursday morning I felt sick. And sure enough I had food poisoning. My companion did too but mine was worse. I called the mission nurse and she said that it all has to come out eventually so just patient it out. And so I did. I didn't eat much other than some ice cream, which wasn't that good of an idea. But Friday I felt better and was able to eat, and I was back to eating normal food and even dared eating poisson cru again. And I'm still doing well.
So that's the report for our week. It has been an interesting week. The work is going well. And we will keep working.
I love you family. I know these things are true.
Love,
Elder Squires
