Day 367- "Bug"

So it looks like i have been out a year! wow time flies when your having fun. Its been a good chunk of time and i have learned a lot. Looks like the cabin is coming along nicely. Thats exciting. Tyler is also coming along nicely with his muscles. He needs to help me out. I lost 7 pounds this week and i will tell you why in a sec. But sounds like all is well! Im glad a year has passed but im excited to keep going and im not looking back.

this week was interesting. Last sunday is when it all started. I went to bed saturday night with a stomach ache and didnt sleep well at all. Got up at about 5 30 and just had terrible....it was bad. I didnt throw up though. But then we got up went to church and i was just feeling crappy. We went out at 5 and i was just dying. We were with a youth from our ward as an activity where we had to get so many lessons and pass out book of mormons as a game there were many things to this game. But whoever had the most points won at the end of the night. So were just going around and teaching and finding and im just dragging behine feeling like crud. I make it back to the church and i just am sitting there wanting to die. I get up and run to the bathroom and just throw up 5 times. I felt so much better after. I thought i was better so i stayed and finished the activity that night and felt good.

Monday we got up and it was a normal day. Did office work and all sorts of fun things.....I still had really bad diarrhia. I dont know i coulnt eat very much. But just kept trudging through everyhting.

This whole week i have had stomach aches and diarrhia really bad, worst in my life. I have crapped my pants 3 times this week. Ya ya ya its funny but its uncontrollable! I didnt realize how crazy it could get. And as to this day i still have it really bad. I have lost 7 pounds.

Its not that i am "sick" to where i cant function, but i have bad stomach problems. I can still do things and  function normally but when i got to the bathroom its just straight up water. I have called the nurse and she told me to buy yogurt and gatorade and some pills so i did. But its still really bad. So i think i might have to get an antibiotic cause i have a virus.

Couple of funny moments though- We were leaving the office at 5 o clock and we were both just tired and super drowzy. Were just walking and im like "man im so wiped" we both just thought about the day for like 2 seconds and started laughing cause i went to the bathroom about 7 times. haha. We have been quoting that for a while now.

Also our bathroom doesnt have toilet paper, We keep forgetting and its not easy to just go out and but tp. it takes a lot casue the place to get it is far away so i have been dying just showering after everytime.

Last night we were doing p 90x ab ripper. We started and i thought i was done being sick, ya know. I start doing some ab ripper and 25 seconds in i crapped my pants. Full on legit nasty. Ran to the bathroom laughing and so was my companion. But it sucks at the same time cause there was no toilet paper. So i just got in the shower again. This process happened a few times this week.

Its been rough. I hope i can get better im getting thinner. I can feel it. My pants are a lot looser. I am going to pack it on when i get home. I am determined to lift hard and gain weight. I think about it every day and am starting to exercise in the mornings.

Well, im sorry all i talked about was poo but thats just how it was this week and maybe how its going to be next week. But just appreciate the food over there and the sanitation.

Transfers will be a week from monday so that should be interesting to see. im staying basically but my comp is going.

Our area is doing good. we have a baptism coming up- Octavio. He is 71 and loves the church. He is quitting smoking and is determined to get to his date. we found him just walking on the street and started talking to him. cool experience to teach him. His feet are shaped like bananas. But hes great!

Any questins? love yall
