As a Sister in Zion: Week 41: Food poisening... not super fun

Yeah, so I totally got food poisoning this week. Well yesterday, as a matter of fact. I’ll give you more details later in the email about how (not) super fun that was, haha

So this week was really good. WE HAD OUR BAPTISM OF EMILIO THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!! As baptisms usually go, it was super stressful just making sure that everything was functioning. When we got to the church building like an hr early to make sure prepare, we looked in the font, AND IT HADNT BEEN FILLED!!!! Thank goodness we got there early and thank heavens that the church building is up to date and the water spicket was super-fast. It filled up in like half an hr... But it was cold water which really sucked bc Emilio’s little sister was getting baptized too and she’s just 8 yrs old. She was freezing when she was getting baptized. I felt really bad but I brought my blow dryer so we helped warm her up. But yeah, Emilio is soo amazing, I love the kid. He reminds me of Sam a lot bc they are the same age and he just acts like Sam would with this manner of speech and movement. I just love him soo much. And he’s going to church every week, has friends, and is basically acting like he grew up in church his whole life. He’s even talking to us about serving a mission when he turns 18!!! I just can’t wait for it! We almost have his step dad baptized. But hey, we are hoping that in 2 weeks, he’s in the font!!!!

Let’s see, what else happened this week??? We had a multi Zone Conference this week and I totally got to see my mish mom again, Hna. Smith. We have the cutest pic of us that I’ll send to you. She goes home in 6 weeks!!! Ahh, I can’t believe it.

We are STILL living with the other sisters and we totally got planched for not finding a house in this transfer. But hey, we just found one today so we are hoping to be in it by the end of the week.

So Sunday night we were in another mtg with other missionaries and all that jazz and I wasn’t really feeling all that great. I got home that night and went straight to bed after planning. Yeah, well I woke up at 2 in the morning, sat up, (thankfully there was a trash can by me) and started to throw up. It was awful. For the next 1 and a half, I threw up like 4 more times. I was running a fever of 100. By 3 we had called a member that lived by to give me a blessing and thankfully his wife is almost done with her nursing practices so she helped me bring down my fever. This is my first time ever being sick in the mission and it sucked but Heavenly Father knew that I would be okay bc I have the best companion in the whole entire world who literally took care of me every second. She is soo amazing. I’m soo blessed to be with her right now. And yeah, so I woke up Monday morning at 9 and started to throw up some more and so we went to the hospital but by then I had stopped throwing up and all they told me was to take some medication and that it was just running through my system. And yeah. That was how I spent my Monday, yesterday. Don’t worry, I’m all better and I feel great today. So I’m back to normal!!

This morning I got to go to the temple again!!! We get to go once every month and can do one ordinance. It was really good to be there and was waaayyy cool to do it in Spanish!! So next month I get to do my first session in Spanish!!

And yeah, that was my week! Pics coming soon!

I love you all and hope y’all stay warm!!! It’s getting pretty hot here. I can’t even wear my hair down anymore :(
