Hola familia y amigos,
This week was crazy and went by very fast.
Monday and Tuesday were spent running around San Pablo to let Hna K
say goodbye to all the members and investigators. She really loved this sector
and it was very emotional for her. Reminded me of when I left Punta
Arenas.
Wednesday I woke up with a horrible cold. I felt awful. I had aches and
chills and a fever and everything. We had therapy in the morning and I slept on
the medical table haha. We had cambios, my new companion Hna Pinto came. She is
from Colombia and she is really nice and cute and funny.

I feel bad because we came home, I showed her around the house and then I
slept some more while she unpacked. So we didn't do much Wednesday. I felt
awful.
Thursday I was still horribly sick; I had a gross cough and I could barely
talk. we were able to visit some people, but not the whole day.
Friday we met with Doctor Garcia so he could check up on my knee. I finished all the therapy sessions so he was going to tell me if my knee is
better and if I can walk or not. My knee felt pretty good this past week. except
on Thursday. Wednesday night I made the mistake of walking really fast so we
could get to the house on time and Thursday my knee was suffering.
When we saw the doctor he took a look at my knee, but then he heard my
cough and he was like ".... you have bronchitis." and I'm like "WHAT NO" so he
took a look and listened to my lungs and diagnosed me with bronchitis. He wrote
me a prescription for a million pills and an inhaler. He told me he wasn't going
to do anything for my knee until my lungs were better. I was to go home and stay
inside and rest and not go outside if it was really cold or windy.
As for my knee, he looked at it, moved it around, etc. and he still says
something's wrong, because it still hurts and it shouldn't hurt anymore. He wants
to take an xray or a ct scan or something and he`s already sent to order to the
Mission to start doing the paperwork for it. So we`ll see how that goes.
So I'm in the house again! I'm beginning to think I have the worst luck ever.
I'm pretty sure the mission nurse laughed when I told her I have bronchitis now. I am the mission´s problem child haha.
Friday we stayed in the house! Saturday we went out to work because I was
feeling a lot better and it wasn't that cold or windy. We worked for almost the
whole day and we taught 3 lessons. I felt great!!

Sunday we had a big conference in Osorno. They are combining the District
of La Union with the Osorno Stake and we got to hear from Elder Ferrera from the
Seventy and Presidente Obeso. But we were sitting way in the back and the sound
was bad so I barely heard anything... but it was still good.
Sunday in the afternoon it was really rainy and windy and I felt sick
still, worse than Saturday because I kind of overdid it. So we called the nurse
and she told me to stay inside.
That`s basically all that happened this week; kind of boring. I have a
little cardboard box of all my medications and little post it note schedules for
when I have to take them. I take about 6 pills in the morning and night, three
during the day and an inhaler every 6 hours. So i have to wake up at 1am
every night to take it or else I have a cough attack.

This week I will complete 14 months in the mission. 4 months until I come
home. it has gone by very fast.
Thanks for all the emails and support every week. I'm going to be just
fine.
I know that God lives, He is my loving Father in Heaven, and his son Jesus
Christ is my Savior and that is our greatest source of hope in this life.
love, hermana Williams
