So remember how 2 weeks ago we didn't have a car? So we walked around
in the frigid rain and biked for 5 days and then I said my companion
was getting sick? Well she had strep throat.
And last week I accidentally drank her water. I had a sore throat, but
wasn't really feeling sick yet. So the nurse told me it was just
allergies. (I don't have allergies....)
So we stayed in Monday night, then on Tuesday we did splits. I got to
spend the day with Sister Abram! We went all the way to her area
(she's in a trio) picked her up, and then took Sister Greenman to the
mission home for her to sleep all day. It was fun to spend the day
with Sister Abram. Because it was raining, we were able to teach
people during the day, that normally aren't home until 8pm, (which was
nice because at that time we had to go exchange back) and we found a
less active that she originally taught a year ago, and whom I hadn't
been able to find until I took her to their house! But because it was
raining, I was progressively getting worse.
That night I woke up with a killer headache and couldn't sleep. It was
awful. Sister Greenman was awake too from coughing and sneezing. I
finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled out my packet of drugs
I've had since Bolivia. There I found something magical:
Tylenol Cold and Flu. Severe.
With that, I slept just fine! Except then it made me loopy. And I felt
extremely nauseous the whole day. I also had to give a training in
district meeting. I'm 100% sure it was just ridiculous. Everyone in
the district was just kind of staring at us. We had our own table.
I then remembered that I had a Z pack. I wasn't sure what it was for,
but I knew it was powerful. So I just decided to take it. (And I'm
pretty sure it worked better than Sister Greenman's antibiotics!)
Then in the afternoon I would randomly start crying. Finally we called
the nurse again and she said we could rest. She also admitted I had a
bad cold and that it was not allergies.
We still tried to go out and teach. That was also ridiculous. Sister
Greenman didn't want to talk because her throat hurt, so I rambled on
for about an hour. After which, was pretty funny because she just
looked at me and goes, "that wasn't very good." No it was not very
good. At all.
We went to the store to buy some Vicks vapor rub and NyQuil. And came
home early to call it a night.
Thursday morning we just stayed inside and would breath in Vicks
steam. (Vicks +boiling water = magic!) and by the afternoon we felt
better, so we went to visit our branch president to have him sign the
baptismal records. He sent us straight home and told us to rest.
By Friday we were feeling better. And the sun was shining.
The Lord really provided for the weekend. We were able to stay busy
and we accomplished even more of our goals this week than last week!
It was a pure miracle.
The triplets dad accepted a baptismal date for March 19! So we are so
happy, and on Saturday we went to go visit this investigator, Jesus.
We originally were going to really emphasized the importance of
church, but after we prayed, we decided to teach the Law of Chastity.
Well that was a miracle! He showed wayyyy more interest, and then his
sister started showing interest too! In the past she would just sit
and listen, but she really opened up to us and even accepted her own
Book of Mormon. Her daughters even asked to go to church with the
hermanas!
It is such a privilege to be apart of this work. I know our Savior
lives. Sister Greenman turned on a random talk when we were breathing
Vicks, and the whole talk was on the atonement and how Jesus Christ
took upon himself our infirmities so he could succor us. (Alma
7:11-13)We were laughing, but I know it's true, Jesus Christ knows
and loves us. He is the source of peace and joy in this life.
I know this is His restored gospel.
I love and miss you all!
