Beat you to the email this week!!!

Well, this week was the first week of this transfer and was quite a challenge.
To start the week off, Patricia and Silvio got into an accident on monday and so it was hard to get in contact with them at all. They're both doing fine now and that is quite a relief.

This week the temperature also dropped, and quite fast. We now are in 19 C weather every morning so I did break out the trench coat. It was pretty heavy at first, but now all is well and I can carry it around without a problem.

And now the really scary thing for the week.
My Asthma has come back, and hit like a train friday. On friday we went and visited Florencia to have lunch with her and Hector. They have a cat, and for the past while, she's been no problem for my allergies, just a few sneezes here and there. But this time was different. By the time we left, I could not breathe anymore, no matter what I tried to do, I could not feel my body inhaling or exhaling. nothing was happening. In other words, yes, I had an asthma attack. Now if I remeber correctly, this is the first one I've had ever, and it was terrifying. We called Sister Olsen and President Olsen to inform them and they told us to get to a doctor asap. We couldn't get to one until Saturday evening. We talked with the Branch President here in El Crucero, and he took us to a doctor and took care of everything. I know have an inhaler which is both for regular and emergency doses. We called the President after all this was taken care of cause they wanted to know the verdict. The verdict was that I should not be walking in the cold. Well as if to make the whole situation a little lighter, President Olsen laughed when I told him that and said "That's not gonna work." I was stunned at first, but after this morning and taking a dose with the inhaler, it looks like all will be fine. I will keep up on this and we'll watch and see how this part of the adventure will turn out.

Well not much happened this week, we weren't able to find anyone to teach this week so we are in a bit of a slump with our numbers.

And now for a question. I still have the speaker that I was gonna use for the Ipod Shuffle.... should I send that back or what, I can keep it for two years, it doesn't cause much weight problems so really what ever you'd like me to do.

Anyways ¡Nos Vemos! (and if you email me while I'm still on I'll get you another email back.)
