Hey friends and family and everyone else! How the day? Hope your body fine-o because mine was not this week.
Couple of things first. Tuesday
it rained so hard I think it could have filled all of Folsom Lake in
about an hour or so. Liberia weather is nuts and I'm getting a little
tired of such bipolar activity. Saturday they told me that I would be
getting a new
companion so that's interesting. And on Friday I thought I was going to
shrivel into a ball and die.
So here's the story. On Wednesday morning I started to feel really
itchy all over my body and I kept scratching all day but we just
continued because I figured it was just the heat or somethings. I got
some rashes on my body that night but I just went
to sleep and in the morning it was all gone so I thought problem solved
no big deal. Wrong. Thursday morning I woke up and we had a meeting so
on the way there my face started to feel funny and when we got to the
church the rash or hives had gotten to my face
and it was puffed up a little bit. I called the Mission President's
wife and she just kind of said to wait it out so I did and by the end
of the meeting I felt okay and it had gone down. We went to eat and then
after we ate it started to come back again but
like all over my body really bad and really itchy. Once we got back to
the apartment I took an allergy pill and it completely went away again
and once again I thought that was it. Well I was wrong again. Friday I
was completely okay and then Friday night I
decided to exercise a little bit which was the worst decision ever. My
face swelled up and looked like a grape that had sat in the sun and was
turning into a raisin. It was one of the grossest things I've ever seen
and I will not be sending the pictures for
that reason. I took more allergy pills and waited for a while while my
chest gave me extreme pain that I didn't understand. I thought maybe I
overdosed on allergy medication because that was my third one that day
hahaha. It went down but it wasn't even until
Saturday night that it went away completely. I'm scared to exercise
now. Apparently some other missionaries have had the same problem
recently but we don't know what it is. Super weird but I think I'm okay
now but maybe that's foolish of me to think again
haha. I don't seem to have any problems today though! Just thought I
would share that little story with you :)
Everything else is good and the week was a little slow but this
week should be really fun I think!! Love all of you guys and that's
about all I'll share for today. I'll try and send some pictures.
Much love,
Elder Bush
