No moon, no pale reflection - 4/12/10

I think this is going to be a short email, and I don't know how many personal emails I'll be able to send, if any.

I got a little sick on Friday. Shortly after I woke up, I felt minor stomach pains and I had Montezuma's revenge. We called the mission president's wife, who told us what medicine to buy, and I just tried to sleep it off that day.

Well, it looks like I didn't get rid of whatever it was completely, because I was woken up early this morning by horribly uncomfortable stomach pains, and the Montezuma's revenge was much worse. I took some of the medicine I had bought on Friday. I spent a good hour or so in the bathroom. We called the mission president's wife again and she said she'd talk to the doctor, who would then get in touch with us. Still haven't heard from him. I asked my companion for a priesthood blessing. During and after the blessing, I bawled my eyes out because I just wanted my mommy and daddy to take care of me. Unfortunately, they're in a different hemisphere. I later went into the bathroom and my body tried to vomit, but nothing came out. I dry heaved about twelve times and felt like I was going to pass out and cried some more like a little baby.

I spent most of today trying to sleep it off, and I feel better now. I don't feel normal yet, but I haven't felt like I needed to throw up or anything. I just have a little headache and my stomach still feels a little whack. I just feel weak and dehydrated, so I don't really feel like writing too much right now.

Luckily, there isn't much to say about this week. I am getting along better with my companion now. We still aren't the best of friends, but I will always be grateful that he was able to use his priesthood and help me out. I think I complain too much. We're still trying to find new people to teach, so there isn't much to talk about with our investigators. We have a few who aren't really progressing anymore, so we need to get moving and find new ones. Hopefully I won't be sick tomorrow.

If I send a few photos to you guys, will that make up for the boring email? I think that's what I'll do.

I want all of you to know how much I love you: thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. I'm sorry if I don't get responses back to your personal emails; I love hearing from you guys, and I always wish I could just stay in here all day sending emails to you.

Anyway. I love you.
