Well, Im going to do this in sections.


Spiritual-
Well, Monday night, I got to ask 2 of our investigators if they would be baptized. IN SPANISH! And I did it! With the Lords help of course. They said yes!!!! SO exciting! They are wonderful. Oh! and I forgot to mention last week, I am a modern day pioneer! I am the first Sister missionary EVER in our area. So thats pretty cool. The other day I needed a priesthood blessing. I got one, but it was in spanish. I have no idea what was said, but I could feel the spirit so thats good. The other night our bishop was walking with us showing us where a bunch of less active members lived. We kinda lost track of time, and when we looked at the time we had 5 minutes to get home. And we were on the other side of town!!! Ah! But, a member showed up and gave us a ride! BLESSINGS! So many blessings all the time. Like that i am not dead yet. Heres why:


Health-

Well, This part is not fun. So, remember the parasite from last week? Well, I haven´t been getting better. And the other night I almost passed out and my head felt like it was about to burst. We went to a members house, her daughter was with us, and she was helping us. I felt like death. The next day we went to the doctor. That was exciting. From my symptoms, she was sure I was pregnant. Yeah. you read that right. I am Mary, and a virgin, but not THEE Virgin Mary...so, not possible. My companion had to explain there was NO way I was. You thought telling a doctor what was wrong in english was hard... Hahaha so, she said ok and that I needed to have some lab work done :/ And that i needed to eat more sugar. The next day a woman in our ward gave me some apples. I didnt know they weren´t washed and I took a bite. She FLIPPED. I was pretty sure I was going to die right then. Snow white and the poison apple. No fun. This morning I went to the lab and had some stuff done. Also, I have lost atleast 5 lbs. pre-mtc weight. So probably more.... (*Added form chat with Stephanie: Yesterday, after relief society, they reminded everyone of what i could eat. They were all talking about me and I couldnt understand and i lost it. The relief society president in her best english said, "Dont cry, you´lll be ugly. do you want to be ugly?" Hahaha :) )


Other- Hambugers here are MASSIVE. Bigger than my head. The lady we live with reminds me of Mrs. Ferrin. She is the mexican version of her. We got to celebrate her birthday with her! That was fun. Last night we found two massive cockroaches in our apartment. EW. Anywho, I think thats about it...


You´re alll wonderful!
Love,
Hermana Stanger

The lady she lives with.
