Well actually,
now that I'm thinking about it, the title should be called "I WASN’T A
Happy Camper FOR 4 DAYS OF THE WEEK" but alas, it seems a bit long for a
title. We will get to the reasons why this camper wasn't too thrilled
this week in a bit.
So this week I
got my Visa renewed YEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!! Yep, finally got that out of the
way. When did my Visa expire you ask? It expired in March.
Why wasn't it renewed? Because my Visa sat in an office in Brasília for
about 7 months. So that means that I've been here illegally in the
country for 7 months and that they finally decided to renew my Visa when I have
less than 2 months left here. #Beauracracy
Mother, you
probably wont like this next part too much, but I'm going to write it
anyways. You've been warned.
So it was
really great that I renewed my Visa on Tuesday because Wednesday night my
companion and I were afflicted with a plague. When I woke up the next day
moral plummeted as I started to feel really sick. Fever, body aches, and abdominal
pain. We held down the fort until we needed to get to the Sister's area
to do a baptismal interview. We did the interview and came back and we
got back and I died. I just layed down in bed and tried to sleep, but
alas sleep was fleeting and the pain was intense. I didn't sleep the
whole night and I couldn't keep down anything I drank or ate. The next
morning I went to one of the hospitals and they told me I had a good old
fashioned case of food poisoning. They hooked my up to the IV and
hydrated me right up! Gave me a prescription and I was on my way.
Well all was
well for a while until I started feeling worse so later that night I went to a
different hospital and they were able to hook me up with some sweet meds.
From then on I got better, slowly, but now I'm all good. It sure wasn't
the most pleasant experience in the world. This camper wasn't the
cheeriest fellow in this outdoor extravaganza, but it's all over now. It
allowed for some good time to think and reflect and ponder the deep questions of
life. So I was able to learn some things through my sickness.
Well that's it
for now. Nothing really happened because I was inside the whole week
basically because it was rather difficult for me to move. Whatever.
I'm over it now. Let's be optimistic!
