The best way to describe this week is with the words "sick week". There has been a cold that has been traveling around the different members of the Zone, and it finally hit us. Following last p day we came back to the apartment and my companion was complaining that he felt weak and had a headache. By the next morning he was out. It basically led to me spending the day doing lots of studies and some cleaning around the apartment. I have come to one conclusion though, being sick on a mission is absolutely no fun.
Wednesday he was feeling somewhat better, so we were able to go out and teach the family we put on date the previous week, as well as do as much work as we could without pushing it, but then Thursday happened. The sickness came back in full force so we ended up taking a field trip to an urgent care, where they diagnosed him and then took it easy once again. Friday following district meeting the cold started to hit me. It didn't come quite as bad but it is still not fun. Most of the symptoms were gone by Sunday however and we were able to go to church. Now all I have is an annoying cough.
In all of this, a couple of good things did happen. The first one being we got to go visit the Oregon Ducks stadium today as a zone. That was a fun experience and it is definitely huge. Then throughout the week one of the families we found kept texting us questions about the church and told us how their Book of Mormon reading was going. That was a miracle and really proves to me their real intent. This week we have Zone Conference, hopefully a complete recovery, and lots of lessons planned.
Thanks for all of the support!
