Hey,
Well sadly to say, this past week has been a very miserable week. We had our Moves Meeting down in Bangkok on Thursday and the way to get down there is to travel over night by train. all around its a 12 hour ride but you don't feel it because for the most part, your sleeping. Well...your trying to sleep but sleeping on a train isn't the easiest thing. You get about 5 hours of sleep total. For some reason, this time going down to Bangkok, I caught a cold on the train. I'm not exactly sure if it was from the train but that's what I'm blaming it on. Luckily while I was down in Bangkok, the effects of the cold hadn't come at full force yet so I didn't have to suffer through the day there. But when I got back to Udon, I sure felt it. I was completely drained from the lack of sleep and all the traveling we had done but I couldn't rest because right as we got back to Udon, we had to go to Sakonakhon to interview a couple of Elder's investigators for baptism. So we jumped right back on a bus for another 3 hour ride to Sakonakhon. I tried sleeping on the bus but I couldn't do it. Once in Sakonakhon, I was even more tired then before and my cold had fully taken over me. There was 2 investigators that needed to be interviewed for baptism and I made my companion do them both because I was just a mess. I couldn't speak very clearly and I was coughing all the time. There was no way we were going to make it back that night either so we slept at the Elders house that night. I woke up a lot in the middle of the night coughing and not being able to breath. It was rough and I hated not being in my own bed. In the morning, we woke up and headed out the door right away to come back to Udon. Once we were back in Udon, I tried to keep working but it just wasn't happening. I completely zonked out on my desk as Elder Brown and I were trying to plan for the day. My companion then told me to just stop trying to push it and just go get some rest. I then went to bed and didn't wake up until about 7 o'clock that night. I woke up still feeling terrible but it was good because I was able to get some rest. Right now I'm still not 100% but I'm doing a lot better. P-Day today was definitely needed. Hopefully I will start feeling better because tomorrow we have to go on switch-offs in Kumpawapi and I don't want to be miserable for that as well.
Well I hope everything is going good at home! I love you all and I will talk to you next week.
Steve
