Hola! I found out how to make my font blue :) (but her mom has changed it back to white because the blue was too hard to read against the red background.)
Anyways before i talk about this weekend i´ll just share what happened during the week.
This week we did a lot
of different practice teachings with other people in our zone and some
people we didn´t know. When i was teaching this one girl i asked her at
the end how i could improve my teaching and she told me to not doubt
myself because i know what i am talking about. I am so thankful for that
advice. Sometimes it´s really frustrating talking in Spanish because i
can´t say everything i want to say because i don´t know the words for
it. But i´ll get there. Also instead of talking in complicated english
anything i want to say i have to say it in simple spanish. It´s
different but it will get better. I can already see how much i have
improved since my first time teaching.
Friday night it started raining really hard. When we left our clase at 9:30 we decided to go say hi to our teacher Hermano alverez. We sang a bunch of english hymns and childrens hymns as we walked to the reception desk where he would be working till 10. He is the greatest teacher. when we came up and said hi he wouldn´t stop smiling. he was so happy to see us.

one of the days when we
went to work on on the spin bikes we ran into our elders who were
sitting outside la tienda (the store) eating candy. It was really funny i
wish i could have had my camera with me.
So Saturday...thats
where the fun began...from the moment the alarm went off i knew
something was wrong with hermana woodard because she didn´t get up to
turn it off. We found out around 7 that she had been up all night with
stomach issues. We convinced her that we should call the doctor so
hermana haslam and i went into the area with a phone and called the
doctor, told her the symptoms and then went back into our room. When we
walked in hermana woodard was laying on the ground. She had felt so weak
that she just had to lay down and she said that she had a temperature
of 101. She got up and she was really pale so we got her back into bed.
Around 740 the nurse came and hermana halsam and i left to go get
breakfast and to find the other sisters in our district. It took a while
to find them because we could not find them anywhere. We found the
elders at the class room and we had to tell them why there was only two
of us. Elder hickman (bless his heart) said ¨lets go give her a blessing
right now! ¨we then had to explain that she didn´t want one but we would
try to talk to her about it later. he then said, "Well we will just go
over and said that we felt the spirit tell us we needed to visit her.¨ He
is so sweet. We still had to find the other hermanas and Elder hickamn
told us they were in casa 48 but when we knocked on it we heard guys
and then the next 5 doors were all guys finally in casa 43 we found
them. We did switch offs throughout the day. Haslam went to class first
and i stayed with hermana woodard. I was able to talk to her about
priesthood blessings and she agreed to one. (the next day she didn´t
even remember talking to me about them) But we switched off after lunch
and i went to class and asked the guys to give her a blessing. They said
they would do it after lunch. We found out that it was Hermano Daniel´s
last time teaching us because he is going back to school. After dinner
she got a blessing and i stayed with her the rest of the night and
studied while haslam went to Tall and language study. There were so many
missionaries getting sick. On sunday
Hermana haslam went to relief society and when she came back she was
feeling really sick. She took a nap and i went to sacrament meeting and
played the piano for her. Of course the last song was one i have never
played before! The light divine. Oh well i gave it my best shot. Long
story short haslam and woodard both were sick and still are kind of
sick. I´ve brought them a lot of their meals, gotten them water, I´ve
let them lean on me when they walk because they were really weak. they
both received blessings. Today they are doing better but still weak and
dizzy once in a while. They keep taking naps which i am so grateful for.
They need to get better. so far i haven´t gotten sick. The past two
nights i probably got 6 hours of sleep combined just because i couldn´t
sleep but i´ve been fine other than that. Our district leader Elder
Riding was the worst case out of all the missionaries he threw up so
many times, he´s gotten 5 shots so far and still has a few more, he´s
gone through 3 iv bags. He is up and about today but man he looks like
he has been hit by a truck. So glad everyone is getting better. It´s
been kind of hard not being able to go to both the classes but hopefully
tomorrow. I have had so much time to study and a lot of alone time ( because one would be at class and one has been asleep)
Anyways yeah that´s been my weekend. Taking care of my companions.
Can´t believe we are already 1/2 through our time here at the CCM!! I love it here!
