Week 18: Thanksgiving got me feeling sick!! 11/26/2018

Hey everyone!! What's going on? It was soooo good to hear about y'all's thanksgiving day back home because mine wasn't too good. I was super sick!!!! I think I came down with the flu which is weird because I had a flu shot just a month ago. That's what most of the members told me it looks like I had!! I felt sick at the start of last week and on Thanksgiving day it hit me like a dump truck!! I had to cancel almost all of the dinner appointments I had which was hard because I was sooo pumped for this day. At least I have another Thanksgiving next year. Hopefully it won't bring forth the same results. The only thing I can remember about this week was me being bed ridden for the most part of it. I went on a few exchanges sooo my poor comp could get out of the house. it was by far the hardest week on my mission. Getting sick out here is not fun!!

Despite the fact of me being sick and not a lot happening this week because of that, I am super optimistic about what is to come these next few weeks and in the month of December. We have to people preparing for baptism in that month. We have a 9 year old girl named Ashlynn who is on date for the 1st and a 14 year old boy who hasn't picked a specific date yet, but he knows December is the month for his baptism. It is super exciting. This week, I am looking forward to getting back in the loop after being benched these last few days! I am soooo ready to get back to work!! 

Everything else is going good in my area!! Comp and I are getting along and I am becoming more acquainted to this larger ward!! I gave a talk yesterday in church as well for how we can all light the world. I shared that the best way to share our light with others and increasingly brighten it is to develop Christlike attributes!! When we develop those, people will notice what makes us different and they would want the same happiness we have. Even the smallest light possible can eliminate any sort of darkness that comes along our way!! I hope everything is going awesome with y'all and I hope you guys have another awesome week!!!

Love y'all,
