Last Tuesday, Eric got a call from Blake in the mission field. He was calling to tell him he was in the hospital. Is it not the story I wanted to hear from Eric.

He said, "Don't freak out. Blake is fine."

He looks good in the pictures; I just know he was really, really sick; he mentioned it to Haleigh in an email last

week but I didn't really think much about it.

I am so grateful that he got the medical attention he needed and that he is feeling better now.

When he wrote my personal email last week, he let me know his release date would be September 28.

It's time for a countdown. Yes, count it down..only 6 1/2 months left..big smiles on my face. 

I will be so happy to have him home but know that we have received some incredible blessings while

he has been serving the Lord.

Mommy.
This week has been pretty sweet, but at the same time, not as well. I have been feeling so sick since last Wednesday afternoon, and I was throwing up and had a fever running at 103.6.  

It was awful,  and the mission president's wife said to drink water and Gatorade. And she thinks that will take everything away, ha. So we couldn't leave Thursday just stuck in the house with juices coming out of my body from every angle possible. Sweating like a pig even with the fan on, I tried to leave Friday and Saturday but couldn't do it, so they rushed me into the hospital in Santiago Saturday night and put tubes and all kinds of things in me.

 I  think it was just to make it look like they know what's up. I stayed there until Monday afternoon and found out that I had harmful bacteria inside me. I'm pretty sure I still have it, but on Monday, the mission president wanted me to leave because we had transfers Wednesday morning, so I left feeling a little better, and now I feel good but can't eat anything. I had never been good at listening to what people tell me until I got on the mission, but I'm still not good at listening to what doctors tell me cuz I'm a little prideful and like to eat what I want. When I ate what I wasn't supposed to after the hospital, I learned a lesson like 10 times that night, hahaha. Now I'm slowly trying to listen to what the doctor tells me so it doesn't happen again...I haven't been able to work as much in the area this week.

 Still, we have one investigator that was in the hospital with the same thing that I had, so we weren't able to visit her and bring her food and juice and a bunch of stuff like the people did to me when I was in the hospital (when I was in the hospital was in my old area in Villa Olga, and like all the members came to visit me it was awesome, and in the night the bishopric came over and hung out with us till like 10....this week we are going to work extra hard to work more cuz we weren't able to this last week.

I lost 15 pounds in just a few days.
