Sister Barbosa and I
So this week was cray! it started out like any week should.... on Tuesday
we worked all day! we had some of the elders in our district come to
help us with our area, and we also did some splits with the sisters in our area
too...it helped sooooo much!!! but yeah anyway at the end of this day all was
good...when I woke up at 2 in the morning I started to throw up!!...about every
20 minutes I got up and started throwing up. And every time it got worse and
worse...like more intense and painful! and then about 6 o clock I started to
have diarrhea (forget how to spell it??) and I was like Sister Lerner I think
we should go to the hospital! but yeah so we went to he hospital and I threw up
about 3-4 more times there! I even threw up in the member’s car that took us to
the hospital...luckily he had a little plastic bag in the back of his car
hahah!!! (now I can laugh about it) but yeah mom remember when you had that
nasty virus when you came home from Utah that one time and you went to the
hospital...yeah I had something really similar to that!! It was just the
worst!! I started to cry too because I just wanted my mom...how pitiful is that
ha-ha oh well!!! So one of the first things that I said when I got to the
hospital and in the hospital bed was that I wanted a priesthood blessing!!! I´m
just solo grateful for the power of the priesthood and the opportunity that the
men have in the church to bless so many lives!!! I feel so blessed to
have the priesthood power in my life!! but yeah at about 9 the Elders came to
give me a blessing (at this point I was a little drugged up and a little loopy
lol) It was Elder Agular and Elder Nhanthole who came and gave me a blessing!!
After that I left the hospital and went home...ugh I still felt like crap!! my
stomach hurt, my body hurt, and I still had diarrhea and I felt dizzy when I
would walk or stand up. so I laid down and slept a lot! Sister Barbosa stayed
with me this day! I was just a mess! At night I still had diarrhea and I still
felt sick, and on top of that I had a fever! So we went back to the hospital.
Got a couple injections in the arm and went on our way! I was just so tired
and weak, it was ridiculous! I went home and fell asleep! The next day I stayed
in house too...
so I don’t have a lot of time left but I will try to summarize!
Wednesday I stayed in house, and also Thursday...Friday I thought I would be
able to leave. we had our weekly planning and then lunch. after lunch I threw
up lunch and was out of breath and tired from just walking up 3 flights of
stairs. so sister Lerner didn’t let me leave. and sister antunes had some pain
in her foot so sister barbosa and sister lerner left and sister antunes and I
stayed together in house! BUT WAIT FOR IT...he he he...when sister Lerner and
sister barbosa left I started to cry, like really cry because I didn’t want to
stay in house one more day because we had a lot of investigators and people
that were progressing and just doing great, but I really just wanted to help
and talk with people! I seriously never felt that kind of sadness in my life!!
It made me realize how much I love being a missionary and spreading the
gospel:) So sister antunes and I left the house...and let me just tell you that
everyone that we met that day we were supposed to meet!! It was like Everyone
and everything that happened was perfectly timed so that the next person that
we would meet or the next thing to happen needed to happen!! Like dominos. If
we didn’t stop to talk to this one person we wouldn’t have met the the other
person!! it was just incredible ha-ha. It was like Hunger Games when the game
keeper is just messing with the arena and put things in place so others things
would happen...haha cray! but yeah I started to feel sick again so we returned
home at like 7 and we just relaxed, did our nails, wrote in our journal and
everything was all good!! Saturday I stayed again in house because I still had
a fever and had a sore throat!! SUNDAY I FINALLY GOT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE!!!
WAHHOOOOO and WE HAD A BAPTISM OF JORGE!!!!! THE SWEETEST LITTLE BOY EVER!!!!!
AHHHHHH I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH!!!!
oh and Normand is doing great...he´s stopping with all the drugs and
alcohol and coffee that he´s been addicted to. He´s reading the book of Mormon
everyday and he´s coming to church all by himself!!! ugh it´s just so amazing
to see the Atonement work for people and the changes in their lives for the
better!!! AHHHH I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!!! I already have 6 months...time is
flying by!!!!
so yeah I have to go...but love you all sooooo much!!! Be strong and
stay firm...stand up for what is right!! EU AMO VOCÊS
Sister Natalie Talentino
