Hey Family,
I'm doing well!! I'm just getting over an illness that took me out for 3 days!!
:P I woke up on Thursday morning last week not feeling very good...I get acid
reflux every now and again, and I was experiencing it very intensely that
morning! We get up extra early some mornings and play football all together as
elders in the zone, and that happened to be one of the mornings so i decided it
wasn't a very good idea to go! I went back o sleep and the alarm went off for
6:30 and I was like, "uhhhhhhhhhhhh....probably not, I feel terrible!!" I told my
companion that I felt like crap and that I needed some extra sleep. He got up
and showered and I went back to sleep. I woke up and I felt like I was going to
throw up, but I didn't, and then I went back to sleep. This happened several
times and then...it hit me and I threw up! Pretty violently at that, too!! It
came out my nose and everything! :P OH MAN DID THAT BURN!!! I felt better and
then I took a shower, and then I started to feel like I was going to throw up
again, but I didn't, I just slept the rest of the day and then I ended up with a
fever and I felt like I got hit by a semi truck, my body HURT!!!! I couldn't
move and my back and head were the worst!!! We had some appointments that day so
we did several quick exchanges and got them taken care of. I got a blessing, too. These last couple days I've been recovering. Saturday I was well enough to move
so I went out and worked, although I had like zero energy, but I was sick of
sitting inside so I didn't care! And now I'm recovering from a cold...weird the
cold hit me on Sunday, and I've been sneezing like nobody's business, and
coughing like crazy! haha but I'm doing better! I'm well enough now that I can
start to work out again!!
A lot has been going on, We've gotten 2 new
investigators in the past 2 weeks and they both seem pretty solid. One of them is, well...he's had a really rough life, mostly due to choices he's made, but he has a
really strong testimony in God and Jesus. He has a lot of obscure beliefs about
God, but he also knows truth! All of his beliefs have come from what he's heard,
nothing that he believes comes from studying anything. but that's ok, He's a
good kid. :) He's 19 and like I said, he's got a messed up life! Don't ever do
drugs, THEY SCREW YOU UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Colorado, is full of them, and it's
ripping colorado apart! He's almost killed himself multiple times, he has no
friends, and he lives by himself. All he has is his girlfriend and from what
he's told me she doesn't seem to really help him at all. When we met with him
for the first time, for some reason, I just felt like real love for him, I've
never felt like that kind of love for a lot of people I've taught. Now that
doesn't mean that I don't love everyone that I teach, haha, I just felt something
different...
Sorry I don't have very much time today, We
have a lot to do and we have an appointment in 30 minutes!!
My ulcer is gone now, so I don't have to worry
about that!! WOOHOO!!!
I'm really sorry about the state
tourney...that breaks my heart...there's always next year tho!! Ptolian needs to
step up and be a leader next year, he needs to get the dugout going, he needs to
be the teammate that everyone wants, he really needs to step up, all his buddies
respect him so all he has to do is start making things happen!
We had zone P-Day again and it was fun! We played
toilet paper dodgeball, volleyball, basketball, and we carved watermelons!! Oh
man carving watermelons was so much fun!!! I'm starting the tradition in our
family when I get home!! And in my future family!!! It was
awesome!!!!
Anyway I love and miss you all and hope
everything goes well this week!!!
Love Elder Takis
