Well. This week my companion was sick (enferma). It was really crappy, actually. She started feeling really sick on Tuesday and we couldn´t really work for the rest of the day. She like had the urge to throw up and her body just was aching. So, pretty sure she had the flu. So, we went home and literally she just slept. For like 13 hours. And I am her companion so what did I do? I slept, too! It was good, but bad, too. My back hurt so bad the next day! And she told me that it´s probably because I slept for so long, cuz her back was hurting, too. So that was the consequence. But then, on Wednesday the elders gave her a blessing and she felt a little bit better. Enough that we went out and visited people and stuff that day. Then, Thursday comes and she was feeling fine--well, not completely fine, but fine enough to work again. Then comes Friday and she wasn´t feeling good again. And neither was I! We both had like stomache aches and didn´t wanna eat ANYTHING. So we both feel like crap, but we had to contact people in front of our chapel to invite them to the Visitor´s Center thing that we are going have on Saturday. So, we still conacted and it was pretty good except that like half-way through our ´´shift´´ it started raining... So, you guessed it, no one was in sight! We still got some good contacts and some references to visit. And then, Saturday comes and we both feel great! My voice sounded horrible... I don´t know why, but I like lost my voice on Saturday and couldn´t really talk. I think it has something to do with our heater in our house (cuz we are definitely using our heater cuz it is FREEZING). But it´s back to normal, so it´s fine!
So that is the story of my week of our sicknesses. And despite that... We still did better with our lessons and stuff this week. So we were pretty happy about that. We thought for sure we were going to have another week of nothing. But, we got a lot of stuff done. We are still working with all the teens in Conavi 3. That is where familia Portillo and Angel live. Jorge and Jaime are doing great. I am really seeing huge changes in them. They are reading the Book of Mormon everyday and Jaime is passing the sacrament every Sunday and they want to do Family Home Evening with their family and stuff. It´s just really cool to see how much they are progressing. Also, we were finally able to find their parents and have a lesson with them this week. And their parents kinda got to see that they really are changing! I think that this is the open door. Like Jorge and Jaime are going to be examples for their family so that their WHOLE family, especially their sisters, come back to church. They are a sealed family and only half are active, but I am starting to see the changes and I know that if Jorge and Jaime keep it up, their family will be more united, and that is really what we want for them! So that is really cool to see.
So, we also found out that we have to move. Apparently President McMullin wants all the companions to live in their own area just as companions, and we live with the hermanas in their area. So, we are looking for a house (wow--that sounds pretty weird...like I am a grown-up or something). So, that should be fun. I don´t think we will be moving out super soon, but we definitely will be moving and the other hermanas are staying in the apartment. I´m not really sad about it though, cuz I pretty much just talk to my companion anyways, even though we live with the hermanas.. Haha! So it won´t be too different...
That is about all that happened this week. Oh yeah... And yesterday I completed FIVE MONTHS in the mission! That´s so crazy! That is almost a third of my entire mission! Seriously... I can´t believe that! So... Looking forward to another great week here... Have a great week, too!!!
LOVE MUCHISIMO, Hermana Whittaker
