So like I said I had a cold and it just wasn’t
going away. Sorry for this description but I was just super congested and had a
lot of thick green snot. I knew it was
an infection but I didn’t know what medicine to take so I called the mission
nurses. Baaad mistake. They ended up making a doctor’s appointment for the next
day. I told them I know I have an infection, what antibiotic can I take? But no
- I needed to go to the doctors and the doctor is in Xela and it takes like an
hour to an hour and a half to get there. We were a little bit late and went
rushing to the appointment and ended up waiting for an hour and a half. Then I
told the doctor what I had. He checked me out.
He said I had an ear infection in my right ear. And then he pushed on my
forehead and my nose with all his strengthen and then asks does that hurt? Well
of course it does and because I said it hurt a little he told me it’s possible
that I have sinusitis or something and that I needed to get an x ray of my
sinuses. The nurses phones weren’t working and they weren’t in the office so I couldn’t
ask them what I should do. So we went and got lunch because it was around 1 at
this time and the appointment was supposed to be around 10:30am. Finally we got
a hold of the nurses who called the doctor who is a gringo in the capital. He
said I didn’t need the x-ray. And guess what they ended up giving me? A flipping antibiotic. Let’s just say I’m
never calling the nurses again unless I’m dying.
We ended up returning
to Toto at 4pm.
On Saturday we
had a really cool activity. Which I didn’t think would turn out good but it
rocked. We didn’t even know about the activity because we didn’t go to the zone
meeting due to my doctor’s appointment. It was a mini ccm (mission training)
for the primary kids. We had a group of 4 primary girls and we went and
contacted people in the park. Every set of missionaries in the stake had little
kids to go with. But speaking for my group they rocked and weren’t scared at
all! They were contacting the whole world and shared the pamphlets with tons of
people. 12 people in total. They are going to be such amazing missionaries in
the future. Especially because contacting sometimes still scares me! But it was
an amazing experience and it just shows how amazing primary kids are and how
much they understand. Before we started we taught them the three lessons and
they knew them all. But at the end of the activity we all joined together again
and a child from every group shared their testimonies. The last child shared
his testimony and said I tried to give a pamphlet to someone but they wouldn’t
take it. The people are hard persons and it made me feel bad. In the name of Jesus
Christ Amen. It was so funny but so cute. Poor little guy.
We also had noche de
hermanamiento. Where the members get together and share a message. And we
shared the message about Jesus because its Easter week or semana santa or
scared week this week. There is a thing called Jesus Christ the reason. I don’t
know if it is in English but it’s an awesome story that makes you think about
the sacrifice Jesus did for us. The spirit was so strong. I know this week will
be a little hard because nobody will be in their houses, but it’s such an
amazing time of the year to remember the great sacrifice Jesus did for us. May
we never take that for granted.
Oh yeah one more
story. We visited a cute young family. It’s a husband and wife and their little
son. Ian is the name of the son he is two years old and adorable. He has a
turtle named Lucho. My companion was teasing him with the turtle and made him
look a different direction and took the turtle out of the water and when he
looked back my companion was like – Where is your turtle? He was like Lucho! Where
are you! And Hna Castillo said your dad ate him. He told his dad to open his
mouth and then pointed to the water to put him back in the water. It was so cute.
He thought his dad ate the turtle. Then my companion put the turtle back in the
water and he was so happy. Maybe it’s just cute because I was there.
Wait one more story. So
I have a boyfriend who is three years old. His name is Anderson Jovani. He is
the son of Yeni (jenny) who is going to get baptized at the end of this month. We
visited them last night. I was playing with Anderson and he was whispering
something in my ear but I couldn’t understand it. And then finally he said it
to me clearly, we are boyfriend and girlfriend. Then later he said vamos a
besar or we are going to kiss. And I told him only on the cheek. He said yeah
only on the cheek. Love that little kid so much! I will have to get a photo
with him with week.
Anyways that’s about
all. I think its Easter there in the US this Sunday so I hope you all
have a very happy Easter. And remember what miracles Jesus has done for you! Thanks
for your love and support.
Lots of love
Hna Anderson
