HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARTER!!!
Not your average missionary week. This was my hardest week by far. From Monday to Saturday, we could not go out
because I got really sick. I had really
bad stomach pains, fevers, vomiting, and basically couldn’t move. We finally decided to call the enfermera
(nurse) and tell her what was going on Wednesday night. We met her at the hospital Friday and they
ran some tests. I have a digestive tract
infection. And yes, I did get several
parasites. I don’t know how because the
only place out of the ordinary that we ate was Denny’s. Right now, I am getting better little by
little through 6 different pills that I am taking. I learned a lot this week though. It was a struggle just sitting around and at
times I wanted to leave. I learned to
pray a lot more fervently and really apply the Atonement. I also now know “The District” (training
movie for missionaries) forwards, backwards, and sideways. It was all I had to entertain myself. As I start to be healthy enough to go out, I know
this experience has strengthened my testimony.
I’ll be fine, no worries. Twenty-one
months is a long time, but there’s only one mission so I’m going to do my best
to serve the Lord.
Love,
Elder Cox
