So here´s my little update on the stomach condition. After a few
trips to the hospital and a specialist we were able to find that there
was no actual obstruction that should be keeping me from going to the
bathroom. I did, however, have a ton of food just sitting there in my
stomach. The cause is a lack of my intestines doing their funciton to
move the food along. They were basically dormant but are now picking up a
little bit after two weeks. I had some tests done last week and will be
returning to Mendoza on wednesday to get the results from the
specialist. There are a few possibilities but it is more than likely
something called irritable bowel syndrome. We´ll see though.
I was very happy to return to Villa Mercedes after a
week of being in Mendoza. Elder Braz was here the whole week with Elder
Gibbons (my old companion) working in the area to keep the work moving
along. That was a big relief to me to know that the work was still going
forward.
This next weekend will be the baptism of the guy we
started teaching a few weeks ago who is studying to be a lawyer. He has
progressed very rapidly came to church for the 3rd time yesterday and
stayed for all the meetings. He is excited for his baptism and for
having received the restored gospel. Elder Braz and I have a good time
with him and have grown to love him as a brother. He is only 21 years
old so it´d be awesome if he made the decision to go on a mission. We
will see :)
Apart from him we are working with 4 families. It´s a
big deal for us to be teaching 4 families at once. To have 4 families
that let us in their homes and listen to us is a big blessing. However,
the challenge is even greater because the adversary will be working even
harder to prevent their progression since the family is the basic unit
of the gospel.
I love it here in Villa Mercedes and I will be sad
to leave it in a week and a half when I´ll be heading (still don´t know
where) to a new area.
Hope all is well back home!
Love,
Elder Rainock
