Okay! well sorry about if people don´t get my letters! I tried to add people and fix things today. So I hope all is well if not email and I will fix it next week! anyways this week has been a lot better. sorry if I scared you with all the hospital talk. I am totally fine. Just needed an antibiotic. but Irma fluckiger said you called so I hope she cleared everything up for you all. She called and I was with our ward mission leader, outside this less actives member house waiting for him to open the door in this street that has a million super small CRAZY old houses! I wish it was easier to send pictures. I´ll send some more next week. I takes a long time to print them off and it isn´t even the best quality so thats sad. but next week I for sure will do it again.
but this week...... I HAD MY FIRST BAPTISM! Oh it was amazing. There is so much more to a baptism than you would think. It was super stressful. Just the million things that could go wrong. but at the same time it was miracle after miracle. Alita. I have talked about her before. She was just Eleito from day one. Oh she is amazing. she just started balling after... that was a little scary. but it was a good cry so thats good. It was crazy though. The things you have to do and talk about and make sure everything is good and we had to get an interview with president and so that was an added last minute stress but, just seeing the joy she felt being clean from all the things in her past made all the hard things that have happened up till now worth it.
We walk a lot. my legs are litterally giant bricks. It is crazy! I feel bad for Sister Hickey. Her legs just hurt all the time. but it is good. The work is good. It is hard.
It has been like a million times hotter the last three days I don´t know how hot but it is hot. I have a sweet sandel tan. I will take a picture when it gets a little bit more drastic becuase it has only been a couple days. yet... It is already pretty crazy.
Today we went to Cristo Rei again. We go once a transfer. It was sweet. It is always fun to get out and do something on p-day. yet at the same time it is rough becuase of the lack of the much needed rest.
Okay so I am kinda looking over letters and it seems there are a lot of questions about what happened hospital wise.
I just felt a pain in my stomach. and It was getting progressive worse. I was thinking maybe apendix (becuase I obviously don´t know my anatomy) as it got worse I thought maybe we should call. so I asked Irma fluckiger and she thought it was worth being checked out. So we went and the did an x-ray but nothing really looked wrong. so they gave me pain killers that really didn´t help. So we went back the next day and they did an utlra sound and same thing. Except apperently I had a lot of air in my stomach? anyways Irma fluckiger was not satisfied with not knowing so we came back the next day, (this is when we stayed in the mission home) and they ran a bunch of more tests that where requested by the mission doctor we have in germany or something like that. Anyways they probablly wouldn´t have found anything if Irmã Fluckiger wasn´t so persistant. but they figured it out. and somehow it came up that I had a uncle that was a doctor in Canada and this Doctor´s life dream was to go do more schooling or work in canada or something like that. So he was amazing. He was a plastics specialist, but he was really great and wan´t to do gastrology that´s his passion. anyways he thought it might have some in, so he gave me all his contact information and called me daily to make sure everything was good. and Also Irmã fluckger. He really was good. The hospital was really nice and clean and they took care of you. The language thing was difficult but I had Irmã Fluckiger and she knows portuguese. The weight loss has just been since I got sick but, pretty sure I gained it back already. I really feel about 700 times better and all is well. You have nothing to worry about. I am in amazing hands. I looked at the questions in aunty Beryl and Grans Email and tried to answer them all. I figured they probablly had the most inclusive list of questions so hopefully that covers everything. I really am sorry if everyone was stressed. It wasn´t a huge deal. And was caught, so there are no problems. Mom mentioned something about me being dizzy. The antibiotics made me a little dizzy and weak but that is all done too. I am no longer taking any drugs and I feel great.
I love it here! I also I becoming more and more grateful for what I have at home. These people don´t have it easy. I am missing carpet the only place I have seen carpet is in the mission home. We have recently discovered the joy that comes from the Ice cream here... so I have to not let that become a problem.. becuase cheese is also one of those things I need to watch. Cheese pastries and icecream... I need to be careful! haha but I walk enough to eat ice cream all day and not gain weight.
The sisters I work with are all sooo great. My companion sister hickey is sooooo dedicated it is soo great! It is hard to be an example to your trainee when she is a Rocking missionary already! She is soooooo anxious to speak this language so that she can be more effective in teaching. She is such an example to me. It is so fun to see how much we grow. I see all the time the things that will help me when I come back with the rest of my life. I remember Jarett said there isn´t a day for the rest of your life you won´t think about your mission. I can see how that is true now. I know that I will think back to the things I learn here in so many different situations. Well I´ll send this so that If you are there we can have some time to chat!
I love you all!!!!
Thank you so much for your concern for me. I feel very loved. but don´t worry everything is fine! The members and the mission leaders and takeing amazing care of me.
Sister Brooklyn Marie
