Asking for prayers...:)

Family! Wowza! 

Sorry I shot you an email about the medicine and then fell asleep..and long story short I'm here at Nurse Cassita's lovely abode and have been for the past 6 days. I'm a little sick over here! It started with the strep..remember that first week with the fevers and all? Well, it never really went away. The fevers did, but then I contracted a nasty flu bug..well..this being Tarawa...there are no medications here on the islands..hahah! They literally had an empty bottle of what I needed cause I am allergic to augmentin. Mercy. (Hahah just laugh with me cause i'm doing just fine.) Anyway. I've started again with the high fevers this week so just to be safe they are launching me to Fiji to receive some medicine/medical attention. (Nurse Cassita's worry is that I am starting to develop phemonia because my right lung is filled with fluid.) I finally got it though, this isn't about being sick...this is about going through the refiners fire, but this is the time I need to be strong cause Satan doesn't want me here. I know it. I'm famous over it, it cracks me up!!!!! It's my childhood dream! Popstar Sister White rockin' the islands. Haha! 

I don't have any good stories for you cause I've been in bed for this week...but if you family at home could say some prayers headed this way that would be much appreciated. I know you say prayers for me a lot, but more specifically that I can be healed and back out to work. I only get to email you today, so I will try to give you as much information as possible cause I know that you'll have a lot of questions. Because the planes only fly out once a week, I will fly out on Thursday accompanied with Sister Cassita. Its a four hour flight and then I will go to the hospital in Suva. I've been in a lot of pain this week, a lot of crazy symptoms, but I know the veil has been thinner than I have ever known..and when I have had my hardest and lowest moments..they have also been the most Spiritual as well. 

I really will be fine, it's a test of faith for you guys as much as it is for me. So just be happy, and think of what President Monson calls the, "eternal truths."

I will email you as much as I can, but just stay in tune with the Spirit, because He'll tell you I'm doing fine :)

love you's!
