My Main Man, Dengue

December 1, 2014

Hey All,

Unfortunately, my week has been very boring. I have a sickness called "Dengue." Pretty cool right? Basically it's a fever, joint pain, and boredom. I was told by the Mission Nurse that I should be be better by Wednesday. I have been ordered to stay in bed, and drink as much water as I can.

I have left the house since Thursday, but it isn't all bad. I pretty much read Preach My Gospel entirely, and I got to hang out with a priest named Jose. He just put his papers in and is awaiting his mission call. He stayed in the house with me so my companion could visit our investigators.

This experience has definitely given me a new perspective. Time flies when you're working hard, and crawls when you have to chill in bed. Moral of the Story: Work Hard. Haha.

The one really interesting thing that happened was today. We played kickball as a zone today (I watched), and pretty much all of Olanchito came to watch us. They were so confused, it was genuinely entertaining.

Also, my companion and I are preparing our investigators for the very strong possibility that Elder Diaz will be having a change. The good news is this has scared them into learning my name. Haha. Changes are next week, so we'll see how this goes.

Anyway, I'm really so my email is so short and lame this week. I'll be sure to make it twice as good next week. There will be car chases and quadruple back flips and everything. Promise.

Love you all. Stay awesome :)
