101 Fever. Yikes!

I believe dm is district meeting.  Unfortunately Jackson got sick this week, but it sounds like he got over it pretty quick.   As he says, great show of faith :)  I asked him to clarify a couple of things:  he said the zone leader fell asleep because they were speaking Spanish and he didn’t understand anything; and the car they are using overheats unless they put coolant in it every morning.  I also checked to be sure all the fried food (really - fried Snickers) he was eating wasn’t causing him to grow out of his clothes, but he says he is still skinny.

Highlights of this week.

Tuesday I woke up and felt like death. I had a 101 fever and was feeling pretty dang sick. But I still went to dm where everyone made sure to comment on how I looked like I was going to keel over at any point in time. It also just so happened to be the day that we had exchanges. So instead of going with Elder Hill with one of the zone leaders I just stayed at our place instead. Once we got back I took a 3 hour nap with a lot of meds in my body, and woke up and felt a whole lot better. So we started knocking doors and ran into to this one super humble guy named Pedro. We had a great lesson with him where the English speaking zone leader fell asleep, but besides that we were able to put Pedro on date for the 25th of November. So great show of faith on my part to go out and work even though I felt like death.

Wednesday was uneventful a lot of knocking doors and uninterested people.

Thursday we had service at the state fair where we were supposed to push old people around, but by the time we got up there there were no more old people. So we just walked around and ate a lot of fried food like fried snickers. So that was a good time.

Friday we dropped our car off at the dealership to fix something and got a replacement car that also doesn't work so...  We also had a great lesson with a progressing investigator where she opened up to us about her awful past that is just so bad that we all still can't wrap our minds around it. So we are now seeing her 3 times a week. But we are extremely confident she is getting baptized in November.

Saturday nothing happened. 

Sunday was not all that eventful either, we had one investigator at sacrament and had a good time at church. 

That is all.  Have a good week. I love you all. Since Thanksgiving is coming up next month here is a good scripture about being thankful. "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day." Alma 37:37
