I got the flu.
I hate the flu. Its kept us inside for the past couple days and you know, as much fun as it is to stay inside the WHOLE day, I would rather be out talking to people.
I started to get sick Monday night and so we decided to stay out but take it slow. Tuesday came and it felt like a truck ran over me a thousand times. We had Zone Conference though and I was not about to miss that, so we went and President Salisbury and Sister Salisbury took such good care of me. While I learned a lot from Zone Conference, all I wanted to do was go home and lay in my bed, so after Zone Conference that's what we did. I went and laid in my bed. Wednesday morning came and I felt infinitely worse, so we called the mission nurse and she found us a doctor to go to. Sister Mitchell came and picked us up and I went to the doctor. This was the first time I've been to the doctor without my momma, it was kinda scary. I had no idea was I was doing and they were asking me all these questions and I was like I don't know! Just ask my Mom, oh wait, shes in Utah.. so that was fun! So we get in there and the nurse was like Im gonna swab ya to test you for the flu and so she comes us and she sticks the swab UP MY NOSE. that was the most uncomfortable thing i've ever felt in my whole life. Swabs do NOT belong in your nose. the doctor finally came in and said well, you have the flu. I almost started crying, I was hoping shed just be like suck it up. You have a cold. but NOPE! the flu. She gave me a prescription for Tamiflu and sent me on my merry little way. The medicine was very expensive but sister Mitchell is THE BEST and she paid for it. She went in with me to the doctor, took me to get my medicine and just has done so many things for me this past week. And then we commenced into "the week of rest" i have laid in my bed these past couple days and thats been the most exciting thing of our whole week! :)
The good news is I am feeling much better now and am ready to get going on the work of the Lord again.
In three days I hit my six months. Let that sink in for a bit. I cant believe it. I have been thinking a lot about how much I have grown and how much I love my mission these past few days and it's just so crazy how fast this really does go. I still feel like I have forever left but I feel like its also gone so fast. I only have 9 transfers left. We get called this christmas eve for transfer doctrine. what a great christmas present that will be, haha! but the good news is I GET TO TALK TO Y'ALL THIS WEEK. I'm so excited! And I have exchanges this week with our Sister Training Leaders on the 23 and 24th so i always love exchanges so im pretty excited! :)
LOVE Y'ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK. #lighttheworld
MERRY CHRISTMAS. Remember the reason for the season.
