Wednesday or Thursday of
last week I got hit by a pretty serious fever. Then on Friday something crazy
happened; the thermometers that the mission home gives us to take our temperature
only go up to 104 F, and are the kind that are on a film and they make
a square turn green under the number of the temp you have. On Friday when I
took my temp the little squares went lighting up from the low numbers to the
high numbers, but then it didn´t stop when it got to 104 F, it just kept going
right off the thermometer. But what can you do, eh? I just left to work like
normal, worked my companion straight into the dirt, and finished the day out
normally.
Then on Saturday we had the
pizza party I mentioned last week.. Like they say, if you can´t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!
The activity was a success by the way. I didn´t get pictures because I forgot
my camera, but a member took some that I´ll get a hold of. We ended up making 5
pizzas that were 1 meter each in a firewood oven. Anyways, I guess I showed
that fever what’s up! Then on Sunday I got a gnarly rash, so the nurse told me
I had to go take a test to see if I had previously mentioned chikunguña fever or
dengue or what (cue the panicked mother).

The family I mentioned last
week couldn´t come to church this Sunday, but one of the people that came to
the pizza activity did come and now has a baptismal date. Moreover, with the
help of our ward mission leader we were able to kick start cooking classes
every other week to which people can bring friends, family, enemies, or whoever
they want. The ward mission leader is a professional chef, and is going to be
teaching new stuff people can make with things they already have in their
houses. We are struggling a little finding more people to teach right now, but
we hope doing stuff like this can help people “get to know the Mormons”
As far as when I am going
to come home... Probably never, I think I´m just gonna stay here as a
missionary. J If you could
help me get started on the college applications that would be great. Thanks for being worried about my future! Let me
know what you think.
Be good! Elder Rice
