July 3, 2023 THE HOPEFULLY NOT SO BORING ADVENTURES OF ELDER WILLIAMSON CHAPTER XXXVII

ahhhhhh!!.. that's how i feel right now.. it's saturday night.. i'm laying on the floor.. i am starving.. but i am also sooo nauseous.. so.. what do i do?.. i already took 3 ibuprofen.. no help.. i tried waiting it out, annnd that's only gotten us here.. more hungry.. sooo i have ordered a cheese pizza from little ceasars, if not only to give me hope.. yes i am fully aware that that probably will not help with the whole nausea situation.. however, i must try, because i've tried fighting the nausea, and it didn't work, so i'm working on the hunger now.. annnd i've come to the conclusion that i'll get the pizza.. i will smell it.. if i proceed to not throw up, then i will take a bite.. i will wait various minutes depending on the results of the one bite.. annnd then i'll either eat a little more and save the rest for tomorrow, orrrr just stick it in the fridge, and then go to bed hoping that the nausea goes away in the night... *so anyways, let me explain a little bit *i realize that this format with the little star things is not even relevant with this email, but as i stated a little earlier.. i am not exactly in a safe and comfortable state of mind or body *anyways.. basically all night thursday was just straight throwing up and diarrea (almost at the same time, but i somehow managed to stagger it) *and basically i'm still sick up to this point *we didn't go out at all on friday, but we went out today for like 75% of the day, and it was pretty bad honestly.. like i was hobbling around like a hunchback for the whole day, trying not to throw up *anyways, my pizza has arrived, so ig i'll continue this tomorrow *well it's monday now.. and yah, that whole pizza thing got shut down when the guy didn't even show up, causing me to lose like $9 or so.. *sunday i woke up not amazing tho, cuz i had ofc.. eaten nothing *so i drank a protein shake thingy, and then trudged up to the church *that was pretty bad *but then the other elders gave me a blessing at church and i felt better from the nausea *but i still was starving ofc *so we went to a members house to eat after, and for some reason it took like 2 hours or something for this lady to make the food, and it was like barely any, which was fine cuz i was feeling nauseous again, but after that we went home and i collapsed in bed again for all of yesterday *and then by the night the nausea had gone away mostly again, and i wasn't tired because i had just slept all day, and then i was the most hungry ever, so i was up till like 3 just laying in bed thinking about all the foods i was going to but today.. *but anyways, while i'm waiting for the rest of my house to get ready, maybe i can think of some other things that happened this week... *ahh yes.. our president and wife went home, and we have a new president now *we're still doing a lot of finding *also i am taking over cooking again, cuz apparently when my comp said he knows how to cook, he meant he knows how to cook one meal.. and i'm pretty sure that's what got me sick.. soooo i think that's pretty much it tho.. love you guys, have a good week! alma 53:18-21 Now behold, there were two thousand of those young men, who entered into this covenant and took their weapons of war to defend their country. And now behold, as they never had hitherto been a disadvantage to the Nephites, they became now at this period of time also a great support; for they took their weapons of war, and they would that Helaman should be their leader. And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this was not all—they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted. Yea, they were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God and to walk uprightly before him.
