I got permission to shoot you an email to tell you that I have arrived back on Tarawa safely and feeling as alive as ever. To update you more on my diagnosis: I was told three times that it was pneumonia, but after doing some more blood tests my white blood cells were 73% higher than they should normally be. What was happening was I had bronchitis and the infection had gone into my blood (septic) and I had about 24 hours before my body would have started to attack my vital organs (explains the high fevers). I was very sick! But I only stayed in the hospital for 3.5 days, where normally it would take a full 7. I had a very quick recovery -- to which I owe to all of you! Thank you for your prayers and love you sent my way! It was a miracle that I am back so quickly.
The crazy part was, I flew on the same flight as my mission President and his wife back here! We stayed in the same hotel last night, and had dinner together with Sister Cassita! Wowza! Who gets the chance to do that? Aaaaaaand best part of the dinner: Sister Weir graduated from my very own VIEWMONT HIGH. Serious!
Anyway, I'm here safe. I'm ready to go back to work...we have five baptisms planned for this week...my first baptisms!
love you!!!
