Well we are already into April and
time is flying by like always! Transfers were today. My companion and I are
both staying here in this area. And it is the last transfer of the mission for
my companion. So that means that I am going to be his last companion. I'm
pretty excited about that! But since we are zone leaders we had to spend pretty
much all of today taking care of transfer things because tons of missionaries
in the zone had to travel so we had to make sure they left on time and we had
to go pick up all of the new missionaries that got here! It was a fun day
though!
Well this last week wasn't the best
week of the mission. Want to know why? Because this last week my companion and
I were sick. Well first it was my companion. On Tuesday he said that he wasn't
feeling too well. So we headed back to the apartment and he spent most of the
afternoon sleeping. And at about 9:30 that night he woke up to go to the
bathroom to throw up. So I'm sure that wasn't the most fun thing. Wednesday he
still wasn't feeling too well. But by the end of the day he was feeling a lot
better and so we were able to go and work a little bit.
That night we started exchanges with
Elder C and Elder R who are in Corrales. So, Elder M went to their apartment
and I stayed in my area with Elder C. That night though, I couldn't sleep. No
matter what position I was in I couldn't fall asleep. And then at about
midnight I finally got up from my bed and went into the bathroom and had
horrible diarrhea. It was horrible. And in the morning I woke up still with
diarrhea. It was horrible. Honestly to tell you the truth, for the last 2-3
months I have been sick almost every single week like that. So I decided that
something wasn't right so I decided to call Hermana Rowley. She told me that it
was likely that I had a parasite in my stomach. So that means that I had to
take stool samples to a laboratory and have them test them for a parasite. That
kind of stunk! But what are you gonna do!?!? jaja. And it turns out that I have
Giardia. I have no clue how I got it or when, but it's what I have. Hermana
Rowley said that it's not uncommon and that there have been several other cases
in the mission with it right now. But I took some pills that supposedly help
with it. I sure hope so! Because being sick like this is the worst!

So that pretty much took up our whole
week until the conference. We were able to do a little, but not much.
Conference was the best though!!
I can hardly believe that that was my
last general conference of the mission. It is such a blessing to be able to
listen to the prophets every 6 months! And luckily my companion and I were both
feeling better by Saturday to watch the conference peacefully! I honestly loved
conference so much! Elder Ballard's talk in Priesthood session was the best!
But the whole thing was great! I am so excited to get the Liahona to be able to
read all of the talks again! It was exactly what I was needing! It was super
motivational for me! It was the spiritual highlight to a super stressful,
crappy week!

I'm super excited for this next
transfer though! I'm sure that it's going to be great! I love being a
missionary. Even though it's not always easy, it's super great. There is never
going to be another opportunity like this in my life! I have to make the most
of it!
Thanks for all the love and support!
Love you tons! The church is true! No doubt about it!
Elder Baker!
