This week was rather unproductive, thanks to my really
sweet-tasting blood that the Mosquitoes love to eat so much.
Wednesday I starting feeling really bad in the afternoon,
but figured I was just dehydrated and I'd feel better after lunch! So we went
to lunch, the Muñoz family made some awesome hamburgers, and I started feeling
cold. Great. After that we had another appointment, then went home to rest. I
was pretty miserable, with a fever and a headache. So!
Thursday morning we went to the doctor aaand, "tiene
dengue" oh...what's that mean? I have dengue. I've never heard of that
disease in my life, but I'm learning lots on the mission :D Apparently it's a
virus contracted by *dun dun dun* mosquitos!! So he sent me away with a
prescription and a week to rest in bed. NOOooo. yuck. So the last 4 days
haven't been all too exciting.
But we had to call quite a few people to let them know and
stuff and almost every time: "tiene dengue?!" it reminded me of the
old time murder movies. So. Now, I'm still recovering, but I feel way better. I
just itch...everywhere.
But! There's a story within this
story. Last Sunday I had been practicing the piano to play for the primary
program. I did not really know these songs very well! But I told the primary
president I could do it. Then afterward, she told me I didn't need to because
another sister would. Ah, awesome. Perfect :) Long story short, We ate with the
same sister and she asked me to play after all. This was all before I got
sick.
After I got sick I still went to a
rehearsal, felt pretty horrible, especially because I could play the baptism
song. That song is really hard when you don't have time to learn it! In the end
I told them I couldn't do it. But! in the end, the bishop came by for us in his
car anyway. I played, messed up a lot. And then he took us back.
Mom, I finally know how you feel,
when somebody asks you to play last minute - only when you play nobody hears
you mess up :D
Anyway! That's my longish, slightly
boring story for the week. Hahaha sorry if you actually read it all.
I have to be honest though, being
sick isn't all that fun, but I've learned lots - from reading lots- but
especially about patience, and gratitude and the example of Charity from my
companion! She is SO amazing! She did everything and more that I asked her
because they wouldn't let me get up. Glad I get her for another transfer :)
Just remember that there's a lesson to be learned in every situation. Don't try
to learn things that YOU want to learn, but things that Lord would have you
learn. :)
Have an awesome week :)
