I had one of the most interesting weeks of my mission so far. Monday night, or more like Tuesday in the morning, I got hit by a really bad fever. I was crazy sick for a few days with fever, body ache, shivering, hotness/coldness and everything that comes along from a gnarly fever. I had to go to the meetings and give my presentations with the fever, which kind of sucked but was fun. Wednesday, I was in a meeting literally the entire day. We didn't finish until the evening, and we were all the way in Cuautla, Morelos. We had to head on back to Chalco, and we didn't get back to our area until like 7pm. But I found a ton of old mission friends in the meeting, like my trainer, Elder Child, and a bunch of other guys. It was really fun.
Yesterday, we had a really great lesson with a family that decided to get married and accepted baptism. That was fantastic. It was one of the best lessons I've had as a missionary.
I realized I never really talked about the earthquake... it was really weird. It was the strangest sensation. It was like trying to stand up on a boat in really rough water. Everything was shaking so violently that we had to sit down to avoid getting injured. When we first started to feel it, we evacuated our house really fast. We were in the middle of our street when it really started, away from danger, in a really interesting area to just witness everything. One of the strangest experiences of my life.
Anyways, that's all for this week. My health is at 100 now, and we're having lots of success in our area. We're really busy, and really happy.
Love,
Elder William Jacob Long
