Estoy Vivo!
Bueno Familia!!!!
Well, first things first. Sister Kunz called me...thanks mom!!! She said she heard that I was sick and that I am not trying to see a doctor my whole mission. So yeah....ha. I was like.... “umm, yes, but I am fine!!” I slept on Thursday and Friday for quite some time. And I am feeling better each day. I am taking the necessary precautions to get over my sickness! And they are working. I bought a pack of oranges, I have been taking some Advil, and I have been drinking a lot of fluid. I am feeling tons better. I can actually talk now, so I think that is a definite improvement! But you're right, if it does elevate, I will see a doctor. But we have some doctors in the English ward here, so they gave me some amoxicillin to make sure I don't have strep! So I am good. No worries. I kind of laughed when Sister Kunz said that she heard I was sick and that I was avoiding the doctor, she is such a sweetheart. I love her! So I am good for now. I will let you know if it progresses or anything. But I am on the mend I believe!
So, this week,....I will be honest, was very, very hard. Saying goodbye to some of my really good friends such as Elder Hudspeth and Payne was pretty hard. But I will see them again. It was kind of funny. Every time Elder Hudspeth and I would say goodbye to each other, we would run into one another again. It was funny. I am glad you went to his homecoming and met him. He is a good kid and I am excited to see him again. But I still need to finish strong! I will miss him, he helped me out a lot!!! So I hope he comes to dinner wit ya'll. That would be good.

So last week it got to the point where I asked for a blessing from Elder Hoyt because I was just so down and sick. And I can testify to you that the priesthood is real! And that God really does speak through it. Once I received that blessing, it was just like an instant comfort, and ever since then I have been feeling a ton better. I am very grateful for everything He has done for me, and I am just thankful for you guys to be honest. Your sustaining support always has helped me a ton. And I love you so much! I know it’s just a short time for me to be gone, but I am happy to do it. While I was in bed, just wallowing in my sickness, I realized that I have 4 transfers left. Not too much time. So while sitting there I wrote down some goals that I have for myself for the next 5 months. I am really going to get down, and focus everything on the work. And just completely shut everything else out. I am going to work the hardest I have ever worked to become the missionary the Lord wants me to be. These next 4 tranfers are so crucial, not only for the work, but for the rest of my life. So I know it is hard. But please don't talk about coming home. I am really trying to focus, and not get trunky. I won't mind when I have like 2 months left because we will need to get stuff ready and what not. But until then, just help me stay focused, unless it is something we need to talk about. I hope that I am not offending anyone, but I am just really, really, really trying to gun it to the end! It will take a load off of me if you will help me out in that respect!!!
I love you all so, so, so, so, so much and I pray for you each day and night. I miss you a load and I am grateful for your love and support you give me. So please just tell me to keep going and to finish strong! I love you all and I hope you have a great week!!!
Con amor siempre,
