La Grippe

Brett has been struggling with sickness this week.  Here is the latest:

So I'm in Cerro Grande. Its on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa. I thought I wrote this last week, but I guess it didn't send. My companion is Elder Luna from El Salvador. He is super energetic and a little immature, but very focused and obedient. We work really hard here.  There hasn't been much success here, but we're working on fixing that. As far as this week goes, we had a baptism this past weekend. Her name is Xochilt, and she is 10 years old. She is the niece of an inactive bishop we've been trying to reactivate. So we got a baptism and a reactivation at the same time. It was really sweet, especially since the Bishopric told us that it would be impossible to get the inactive bishop to come back. HA! Nothing is impossible my friends, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't.

So this weekend has been one of the hardest in the mission. I've come down with what the people call la grippe aka the flu. So yeah, I don't remember it being this painful when I had it back in the states. My whole body ached, and my fever was pretty ridiculously high. I probably went to the bathroom 30 times, no lie.  We took the day off yesterday, and that was the hardest decision I've had to make. The flesh is weak, but my spirit is strong. I want to work! But anyways, I'm feeling less lousy, and I'm going to see how today goes. I'm grateful for the opportunity it gave me to be more humble and prayerful, but I feel like I learned my lesson and its time to feel good again. Anyways, any extra prayers would be appreciated.
I love you guys. You are the best.
