One for the Fam, Let's Keep it Together. January 9, 2012

Wierdest week of my mission. Ill try to explain fast cause i dont have
a ton of time but jeez.
        So Wednesday i went into Cordoba to do my DNI which will make
it so im pretty much a citizen here for a few years after the mish in
case i want to come back and visit, so thats cool. Then Thursday i
felt wayy sick, so we went back to the apartment, and i layed in pain
for the night. Friday much of the same, sooo bored and all that.
Finally at like 10:30 we took my temp and it was 103.2 so we called
the HErmana and she was like go to the hospital. and heres where it
gets wierd.
       So we finally get to the hospital after so much time waiting
on a taxi that didnt come and calling an hermano to drive us there. So
the doctor was a crazy person. less active member of the church that
apparently doesnt live anywhere as far as i could discern. Also,
wouldnt be suprised if he wasnt a doctor. Gave me like a 10 minute hug
and kept saying how happy he was to see a missionary, then sat
andchatted about his personal finance problems at midnight where i
cant even think straight and just want to go back to bed. he comes to
give me another hug, then sits next to me and does like a wierd
sideways hug and rests his head against my chest and says how tired he
is. i had no idea what to do but i  realized the humor in the
situation. i just like patted his head and said it would be okay and
he just sat there for a while. then he calls the nurse, she brings a
shot that they put in my hind quarters, sending unexplainable pain all
the way up and down my left leg, that lasted for about 5 minutes that
seemed like an eternity. then he chats for about anothre 40 minutes,
asks us to offer a prayer, and we finally go back the the apartment to
sleep at 1:00. Super wierd right?
        YEsterday was good though,. I had a talk, then stumbled back
to the apartment to try and rest my head, and studied alot, adn today
were going to interviews with presidant and a zone meeting so this
week should be a little more normal im hoping.
        Love yall, Elder BRidge.
   p.s. mom and dad... missed ya
