Hello Everyone!
So this week was kind of crazy! But don’t worry we survived! :)
Well This week was really great at first! I don’t know what it was but I completely changed my diet to more healthier food! And I also started doing things that just really helped my to be 100% focused on the work! We were seriously working so hard even though I was loosing my voice and had a cough! I was still going strong! Sometimes it was hard speaking to people... But I could do it because I had the Lord’s strength with me! Our work was just going up and our companionship was doing better and I just felt happier even though I was sick!
Okay now this is the crazy part of our week! Well my ka- bahay (house mate), Sister Havea, got really sick! She was having fevers on and off and then she was just physically so weak to do anything! And then she started getting rashes over her whole body and she was just so so so sick! So her companion took her to the hospital in Tarlac which is about an hour travel! They got tests done and when she got her results... She was positive for Dengue Fever!!!! We were seriously so worried for her! So Sister Clark called us and said that I have to take her to Tarlac the next day and we will stay there for 3-5 days until she gets better! I had to be the one to go because I was sick also and because we had to leave our companions so that they could continue working in our areas! We just stayed at the STL’s house in Tarlac so that we were close to the hospital because she had to go everyday to take a CBC for her blood to make sure her blood platelets weren’t going to low. It was scary because the first test she was 176 and then the next day she dropped to 165 and then the next day she dropped to 148 and then to 145 and then it was a miracle because she finally went back up today! :) She is now at 185!!!! WOOHOOO!!! We can go back to our areas now! We will go back tomorrow morning! We are so excited! President and Sister Clark will take us back, because we have our Zone Interviews tomorrow! :) oh and I also got checked up when we were at the doctors and I am now on lots of drugs! But don’t worry!! The work still goes on!!! Oh and they think that my sickness was an allergic reaction at first... So they gave me some peels at first and I was taking them for about a week... But that wasn’t it! Because I was still sick... So they finally gave me new medicine today! So hopefully it will be gone soon! Don’t forget to pray for us! Haha!
Well I just want to share one experience where we got lost here in Tarlac! Even though Sister Havea was sick we still had to go take this language assessment Test for something... I don’t know why! So we took a jeepney to SM and then we took the test and then we left! Well on our way out... We crossed this bridge over the high way that had a lot of stairs so that we could get to the other side to get on a jeepney... But then we were got there... We realized we were on the wrong side and we didn’t even needed to cross... So we went all the way back and it was hard on Sister Havea because she gets tired very easy because of the Dengue Fever! But as we were climb the stairs again... There was a little kid sitting there and he said, “ Sisters pagod naman po kayo” (Sisters you seem tired)! Haha and then when we finally got there and got on the right jeepney... We really had no idea where we were going! We just knew the name of the place and we were hoping the driver would start... But he didn’t! Haha so after being on there for a while... I was like Sister Havea,I think we have gone to far! So we asked the driver and he said we already passed it! So we got off and crossed the highway and we were just standing there in the dark and in the rain waiting for a jeepney to come and we had no idea where we were! We finally got on a jeepney and started going back... I asked a nice lady on the Jeepney where this place was... She said it was really far! We had gone so far past the place we were suppose to go! When we finally got back... We just crashed on the beds because we just wore our selves out! Haha but it was a good experience to learn how to get to the Sisters house!
Well This is about all I have to share for this week! Maybe next week will be better! Haha
Mahal na mahal ko kayo! Ingat po kayo lagi! :)
Love,
Sister Freeman
p.s. I will send pictures next week
