Grandpa left (week 56)

Hey fam and friends, 

   

Wow it was a pretty interesting week around these parts honestly. So after working last thursday night my comp elder hansen came down with a pretty bad fever. We thought it was just a common fever till we got up in the morning and he was literally dying hahaha. So we went to the lil medical center that we have on the island and he got a blood test annnnnddd turns out he had Dengue Fever.  He was soooo sick all week hahaha and so it was probably the slowest week I have had in my mission by far. He wanted to go teach lessons and stuff so we would go and he was just sit there and i would end up teaching everything. I was fine with it but he was just dying so it was hard to get out. Man it was weird having a lil down time cus there is nothing we could do and no one with priesthood whose worthy for divisions. So finally he got better yesterday. If he was still as sick as he was for much longer we were guna have to get him to the city. Honestly I feel bad saying this, but i wish he woulda gotten sicker hahaha.  I have always wanted to take the flight from here to the city. Well he got better which is always good. So during the down time this week I started reading Jesus the Christ and ended up reading like half of it. Wow that book is freakin good and i recommend anyone who hasn't read it to read it. It gives us a way better understanding of Jesus and our purpose for this earthly life. Well that's pretty much it this week.  I know pretty this is a weak letter but this week was slow and i just read a lot.  Well hopefully this next week we for sure will have more success and even with my comp’s dengue.  We have some baptisms lined up for this Sunday.  So be praying for me that they go through with it.

Ok well love u all have a good rest of your week fam!

So there is a story with these pics..... We haven't received pictures forever because of the internet on the islands. But there was an American family that texted Tom after visiting San Blas and meeting Ben and his companion. They happened to be from Pinole.  When Tom and I saw these pictures and received the texts we just sat there and stared at Benjamin'f face and cried grateful tears.
