The scariest week of my misssion

What a week, well as promised yesterday im not gonna let all yof you know about one of the crasiest and probably scariest weeks of my mission!
 
But before it all starts, you need to know that as we were returing from our beautiful baptism in Mixtequilla somehow we lost our cell phone.
 
So monday we start our Pday with Elder trujillo feeling sick so we walked around the city looking for someone that can help us to get him to feel better.  Everything was really crouded or expensive so we didnt end up daing anything more than resting monday.  THen in the nighttime, i felt E.T´s forhead to see if he had a fever, and sure enough when i touched him he was burning hot, he ended up having a temeratur of 39*C or 102* F!  So i fliped, and told we HAVE to do something, so we go across the street to Sister Ericas house (From where we talked yesterday) adn ask here for help.  We looked in a book trying to guess what ET had based on his symptoms, but we didnt really come up with anything.  She just told Him to take a cold showed to get the fever down, and that he had to drink lots of a water solution, part lime, salt and water, he had to drink lots. 
   During Monday we tried to make soem kind of connection with our leaders, we called the offices through a pay ohone adn they didnt do anythign to help us and when i told our District leader through a members phone that Et was really sick and he had a fever, he didnt do anything.  We didnthave any other way of communicatign with Pres Hansen. becouse of the cell phone.
   Then the next day we go to a near by Dr, who after some test came to the conclusion that ET had Tyfoid Fever! That scared me becuse its all over the place in the history books as a deadly sickness.  SO for 2 more days we didnt leave the house, and we didnt have communication with the Mission... i just went back and forth from studying to attendign to ET, it was great. I love service!
 THen finally thursday we communicate to our District Leader agian and Elder Trujillo told him everythign that had happened, who told it to the Zone Leaders who told it to President.  Apparantly he got pretty worried so he sent a message back down through the line and ET had to talk to the mission Doctor.  THey said it couldnt be tyfoid because all missionaries are vaccinated for that, and thye came to the conclusion that he has a kidney infection.  SO he had been on soem seriouse medications ever since.  Today he seems to finally be feeling normal about all of this and his health look salot better.  Today we just washed every article of clothing and fabric in the house to get rid of the infection and now we just have to bleach it all good.  We helped reactivate a really neat family that lives close to our house a few weeks ago.  THey let us wach our clothes in thier house with thier half wacshingmachine (ask me next week what that is) and they make us breakfast so its a really great deal! SO this next week we are gonna have to bust our butts off so we can have a baptism this month! But i do know that MIracles do happen and that we are in the hands of God, this was a rough week but because of Gods caring and watchfull eye i ditn think is was as dark as it seemed at times! I love you all and thank you all so much for all of your suport! Happy Mothersday Yesterday!
