"I think the tiredness that i was feeling last week was the beginning of a flu that i had all this week,lol. It wasn't a head cold but my stomach has been killing me for the past 5 days. I have been having crazy stomach cramps and can't hold anything in. Today i feel a lot better though and have been able to eat and walk around. Don't worry though it's not real serious. It's been going around the missionaries. I'm like the 6th or 7th missionary to have this so at least it's out of the way. As far as health i am doing good. I try to eat healthy and i workout and make sure to get my needed sleep. I am a little chubbier than i would like to be but i guess that's better than being too skinny =). There were 7 baptisms this week which was awesome. Two of them were ours. Elona and Sonja were baptised on friday. It went really well. It was a private baptism so there were only 12 people there but it was very simple and very beautiful. I was suppose to give one of them the Holy Ghost yesterday but i couldn't go because i was sick so another elder gave it to them. The work is going really well here in 4th branch. The branch president is awesome and the members are really good. It's not the biggest branch but it has a lot of potential and there are a lot of strong young members that will help it grow eventually... My apartment right now is for sure the worst i have been in. My bed has a broken leg so i had to duck tape it so it wouldn't fall at night while i sleep,lol. The kitchen is about 5 ft wide and 10 feet long and you get to it through a closing screen door. It's weird because the kitchen is kind of outside. The bathroom doesn't have a curtain and the shower head likes to come off and start shooting water everywhere,lol. One good thing is that we have an awesome view of the city =). Other than the broken leg my bed is comfortable and i sleep well on it. The kitchen is horrible but it has an alright stove to cook my eggs for breakfast.... I'm not really sure if anything else has happened this week because i have been inside a lot. We have a 2 day training this week which should be really boring,lol, but other than that not to much is going on. Hopefully we find some awesome new people to teach and i'll try to find some photos to send you next week. Actually next monday we are going on a district trip so if i don't send photos next week i'll send them the week after next..."
