What is it? Last night I broke out in a fever and body aches. This morning I woke up in the same condition. I started to cry. I must be doing something right, because I was told that I will know I'm on the right path because that is when I will have the most opposition from the adversary. Even though I'm sick, I still got dressed and went to sacrament meeting. It was the longest hour of my life. My family was having Easter Dinner at my Grandma's house. I also made a short appearance at my family dinner. My family used to say a prayer before every meal, but lately, the family prayers have become non-existent. I offered to say "grace" and to my surprise, everyone bowed their heads in prayer. It felt good to bring that tradition back to our family suppers. Hopefully, family prayer can come back into our lives.

I ended up in the ER Monday morning. My incision decided to suddenly split open and the ER had to glue me back together. Also, I found out that I do not have the flu, but a bacterial infection got into my blood stream via my open wound. Sheesh! So I'm now on antibiotics. At about 9am, I found out that missionary transfers are Wednesday and Sister McNeill is staying one more transfer! Which means She gets to be here for my baptism on Saturday! I am so happy, that is what I've been praying for. I went to a dinner appointment with the sister missionaries. A 79 year old Methodist man who is a widow. He was so kind and he was very happy we were there spending time with him. I had a pot of chicken soup on, so I brought that for dinner. We talked about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and we also talked about his beliefs. We shared a message about the Book of Mormon, and it seemed like he resisted. We also played mexican train dominoes with him. We had fun, and left his home at 8:30 pm. When Sister Ayala, Sister McNeill, and I got back into the car, we were giggled so hard that it hurt. We laughed histerically the entire way home. I havent laughed so hard in years. Everytime the giggling slowed down, someone's laughter would infect the others into an uproar of new laughter. It was great.
