Well, I actually shouldn't take a lot of time today (I'll explain in a sec) but here's the update for this week.
The work here is going. We have jumped up our number of lessons enough to have landed in what our mission president calls the "top 5". Every week he sends out, among other things, a list of the companionship's that taught the most lessons for the week. My companion and I made it twice in a row and we were feeling really good about it. Until...
As for the best friends, my good friend doctor in town told me something interesting this week when I went to see him. He had put me on this new medication and this week was my check up visit to see how it was going. It is funny because the doctor was so happy to hear that things were going better. So happy in fact that he said that this medication that I am taking is my best friend. I laughed, not too reassured and said, "Yeah, it's like a friend." He quickly corrected me and said that these pills are my best friends because a best friend is someone who wants good for you and all that good stuff. I had a hard time keeping a straight face. Haha. So yeah, I have pills for best friends.
The work this week was going really well. We have two baptisms this week and our number of lessons is pretty good. So things were going like normal this week until Thursday. Yikes. I got sick. Here we have a new sickness going around called Chikungunya. And there is a virus that resembles it but isn't as bad. I'm thinking I'm more on the virus side. But I've been out and have been sentenced to bed rest. And that's why I can't stay too long here.
I love you family and friends!
