Week Eight: week 2 in mexico

this week went by a lot faster than last week, but it was still crazy! its tough not being able to understand a lot of what my companion is saying, but it is helping a lot. i can already tell that my spanish is improving a lot!

The most interesting thing that happened this week was on thursday i think. wednesday night i was having some stomach pain and a headache and i just thought that i ate too much at the meal we had with members and i was dehidrated, so i thought i could just sleep it off. the next day i still had the pain, but my companion and i had to travel by bus for about 45 min to where the zone leaders live so we could go on splits with them because my companion is the district leader and i guess he needs to go on splits with the zone leader every once and a while. anyway, i ended up having a new companion for the day who is american! we started the day normal after the split, but i was in a lot of pain, so we spent about 2 hours trying to find a pharmacy that the mission presidents wife would approve of, and when we finally got there i had no idea what they were saying, but luckily my temporary companion could translate for me. what a blessing! it turns out i had a stomach infection and some kind of infection in my throat or something. gastrocolitis and farringoamigdalitis. but i got rest and medication so im all good now! oh and the doctor said i got sick from the sudden change in food and climate.

yesterday while on our way to an appointment we got caught in a crazy storm. i thought it was insane, but apparently its pretty normal here. the wind was blowing like crazy and it was raining like the world was going to end. well at least thats how it seemed to me. i guess im just an american, what do i know about the weather here?

well sorry the letter is so short this week, we didnt plan very well and we only got 30 min of email time, so ill make sure next weeks letter is better!
