Thank you for everyone's prayers and fasting. I was all the way better this week. I really didn't get as sick as most people do. The thing about Zika is that there is nothing you can really do about it besides rest it off and take pain medication. The doctor gave me pain medication that is basically tylenol, vitamin c, and some muscle cream. I really felt fine this week. I felt a little like I had done a work out that was non existent but that was about it. It really wasn't anything serious.
I forgot a funny moment from last weekend district conference. The Saturday night session in the middle of Sister Linger's talk a bat flew into the room and kept flying around. Everyone was so distracted by this bat. I was scared I was going to get hit in the head. All of a sudden it hit a fan at the front and landed on the stand. Then a brother went to the front and stepped on it. Sister Egbert's face (who was on the stand) was priceless. It was pretty funny.
Well, sad news this week is that Sister Jensen went home last M
onday. She was sick and had to go home to get it checked out. So now I have Sister Vernes back. Only difference is that this time we have two areas. Luckily they aren't too far from each other but still it adds a lot more biking time. It made for some interesting days but still lots of fun.

Some cool stories from this week. First Giovanni. He is 24 and hasn't been to church in about 4 years. His extended family are strong members of the church. However none of his immediate family are members. We have been trying to get his family involved. This week we were able to have a cool lesson with Gio and his brother. His brother is really interested to learn more. He was taught but the elders in the past but never got baptized. And Gio finally started reading a little bit in the BOM.
Hugo is doing good. We were only able to have a short lesson with him today but he is just soooo excited to learn everything about the church. He came on Sunday again and loved it. He is also making friends in the church which is cool. People like him.
So my hair is very long now and children love touching my hair. This week we were having a lesson and two little girls were fighting over doing my hair. One runs in the house and brings out a fine toothed comb and starts going at it. Needless to say it hurt.
I have been studying more about the devil this week. I know it's kinda a funny study topic but it's been really interesting. I feel the more you know him, the easier it is to recognize some of his evil tactics. It is foolish to deny his existence but better to strengthen yourself to deny him.

I'm so grateful for the church and for the experience I have had on my mission. It's something I would never take back. I have a lot more work to do but it is good to know that there is a light somewhere in the distance :) I miss you all!
Love,
Elizabeth
