Hey Family!
You have no idea how much I wish that I could say that they were getting better. This last Thursday it started getting really bad again so I had called the doctor’s office to see what I should do. The PA Bryna decided to call in a new prescription called sumatriptin that I picked up Friday morning and I was only supposed to take it if my migraine got to an eight on the pain scale. The problem is that is that it is usually at an eight so I popped in the meds and I am not sure what Sister Pelfrey and I expected. I think we thought it would be like taking an Advil and that it was a miracle drug that we weren't sure why she didn't give it to me before. It made me super loopy and I wasn't able to function so Sister Pelfrey once again had to go out to the area without me but she went with Sister Johnson while Sister Adams stayed back at the apartment with me. It was awful. I just don't seem to be having any of the right reactions to the drugs but they don't seem too concerned and said that I am naive to the drugs and the second time that I take them that I won't have as strong of a reaction. The sad thing is that my immune system is down and I woke up with a nasty cold. I have been in all weekend and haven't been able to work. Now I can't tell if I have a head cold or a migraine! Family this seems to be a marathon and not a sprint so please keep praying for me. My spirits have been a little low recently but the Lord continues to strengthen me. Grandpa keep fighting as well and Grandma I am so grateful to get your amazing letters. It was such a blessing last week to get a letter from the WHOLE family! I just sat and cried and thanked Heavenly Father that you sent me that entire letter. I really needed it! I have kept you all in my prayers so much. Please forgive me for not getting letters out to all of you. I wish that I could send my love to each one of you personally but I am still pretty sick. I will try to next week! But I was able to get out this morning to do laundry and we are going to watch 17 Miracles as Battalions Sisters today so I am pretty excited about that. We were able to sit up at the temple last Thursday and we talked to so many amazing members. There was this boy named Marius who is around 12 years old from Romania. He was in a tragic fire that burned down his house and killed his parents. (You can read more about his story on teammarius.org) This family had a daughter that was in Romania as an exchange student that fell in love with him and persuaded them to adopt him. Anyways, they were all at the temple that day to do the work for his parents and it was such a sweet story. He had such this poor burned body but the most beautiful smile and eyes. He was so happy despite everything that happened and he was so excited to be giving his parents the gospel that day. The cool thing is that as I was talking to Marius and his adopted mom, my companion was talking to a couple that wasn't members from Romania about the temple. They were struggling with why they couldn't go into the temple and were being a little hard with Sister Pelfrey. When Marius heard they were from Romania they quickly started talking to each other. Marius's story touched the couple's hearts and they left wanting to know more about the church. Seeing this strengthened me. God lives and He is watching over me even if I also have a cold now. :) I love you all so much and I miss you like crazy. We are taking it really slow this week and I am going to be staying in a lot while Sister Pelfrey goes out into the area so that means lots of exchanges. Tomorrow is transfers so things could change but I don't think President will rock the boat too much for me. I love you all so much and I Ioved hearing from you!
Love,
Sister Haggerty
