Sick on Sunday

That is really sad about the Taits. I sure feel bad. I got your package. Thanks a ton. These last few weeks we have been out in the street pretty much all the time. Saturday night I got sick. I threw up eight times and was really bad. I couldn't even go to church. I called the mission nurse and she asked if I could go to sacrament meeting. I got up to try to go and threw up again so I didn't make it. So we were stuck in the house all day. My companion was probably bored out of his mind. I pretty much slept all day. I got up once for about five minutes and then went back to bed. It was weird. I haven't thrown up since my freshman year in high school, so it's been a really long time. I am doing better today. The only good thing is maybe I will lose some of my appetite so I can lose some weight.

Yesterday we had people come to church even though we didn't go. Carlos and Naomi came. I  don't know what they were thinking when we weren't there. I am assuming that it was a shock. Then we had our zone conference last week. It was really good. In a few weeks, Elder Vina of the seventy is coming to talk so we will see how that goes. All I hear is that he is really tough, so we will see. 

Today we have to go to Vina for my companion to do some things, so the day should go really fast. It hasn't rained again since last week. It has had time to get everything nice and dry. 

That is funny about Ashlyn with the missionaries.  When will they be done with the sprinklers and all that? This week I learned something. I always thought like with the changes of areas and all that, okay, like new comp, new area that I will learn something new and all that, but last week I learned that once you have been in an area so long, you also learn new things too, because you don't have a choice. You have to do different things that maybe will work with teaching, so I think that is why I have stayed here so long so that I could learn that. I am glad that I got to learn these lessons. Hope you have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gillies
