The subject line says it all: my companion, Hermana Fardos, has dengue. WOOHOO!!! For those who don't know, dengue is a mosquito transmitted disease, kind of like malaria, and it is nicknamed the bone breaking disease. Doesn't that just give you warm fuzzies? She was admitted to the hospital on Thursday and is getting out today, so we had special changes, and I am with Hermana Borjas, a local missionary from the chaco. She is awesome, and speaks Nivacle, like German and Hebrew mixed together, it is pretty sweet. She will be heading home this next week, so I have no idea what is going to happen with transfers. We will see what happens. So, we have been in and out of the hospital all week, and on Saturday Hermana Borjas and I went back to Salado for the baptisms of the Arrua family, the other half. It was awesome, and it was nice to see someone with whom we have been working for so long get to baptism.
So yeah, that was basically our week. As far as the spiritual side goes, we are studying the Holy Ghost as a mission this week, and yesterday I was reading in 3rd Nephi 19, and I looked up a reference in 3 Nephi 9:15, which talks about how Jesus glorified the name of his Father. The question that came to my mind is whether or not I am glorifying the name of Christ by my actions, words, thoughts, whatever. Just a question to have in mind!!! I love you all and I hope that you have a good week!!!
Love,
Hermana Farish
