This week was great! Lots better!!! Happy Birthday Zach, my little hommie!! My mission president called me this week and told me why he sent me here. He just thanked me for my hard work and was telling me that he sent me here to help Elder Sandberg with his French and to prepare him to be a trainer next transfer and that he wants me to train next transfer again tooo hahahaha I have such an incredible relationship with him. I love him so much!! He was just telling me that this next transfer he wants me to train so the 30th of this next month so I will be another transfer with Elder Sandberg I think. The name of my secteur now is Attecoubé zone Toit Rouge. So for this week it all went by as a blur hahahaha sadly Saturday our investigator like ran away from his baptism he had a problem with the “clothes for the baptism”. It was so dumb. Really he’s just not ready so hopefully this next week and also the fr gle alex tooo will get baptized! Tuesday we had that special district meeting thing so that was fun just talked about the conference we had with Elder Katcher and how we can better use it in the field and in our zone and stuff. It was good! Then the rest of the week was just preparing out guy fr anicet for his baptism. I guess its anicet not anissé hahaha but yeah and then he didn’t get baptized and then I may have gotten sick and went to the hospital Friday morning hahaha but I’m way better now!!! So I was diagnosed with Malaria. I feel lots better. I just ended up taking my IB that you sent me with and it helped me out. I should probably get the meds they prescribed me at the hospital though hahahaha I’ve had a fever of 102 muscle aches head ache, diarrhea, stomach ache pain since last Thursday. It was fun! hahahahahahaha That hospital is pretty messed up. They gave me a laxative when I told them I had diarrhea remember? hahahaha Freakin’ Africa hahahaha I just stayed at the apartment and slept everyday. I went to sacrament meeting yesterday to just came home and slept again! I’ve been drinking lots of water like you would always say to do when you’re sick. It was like you were just in my head telling me what to do hahaha It was pretty cool! I feel so much better now though! The hospital visit was quite the visit though…. Josh would get a kick outta it hahaha Don’t worry man I will be just fine! I got the Lord on my side man! I’m gonna get those meds for sure though! If you promise not to freak out, I’ll tell you what happened. You’re not going to believe it!!
So I had to get an IV cuz my fever was so high and so I go to get it and typically you have to eat before you get one right? Yeah no one told me that…. I get it and after just go to sit down cuz I started feeling dizzy. I was like telling Elder Sandberg I was gonna throw up and pass out and that something wasn’t right. Then I stand up a few secs later to pay for it and I just see so many stars, so I sit down and then my hearing just starts getting distant like I’m in a tunnel and then I just see a bright flash like someone took my pic and then just darkness! I was out cold! Sandy (Elder Sandberg’s nickname) told me that he looked over and thought I was sleeping in the chair and was like dude we gotta go now. Then the lady ran over and was like did he eat this morning and he was like no and then she was like ohhh shi* hahahaha and just started slapping me and jammed her thumbs into my eyes and then yelled for 2 sugar cubes and then some water and put it in my mouth and I guess my unconscious body was chewing them and then she got some water and gave it to me and then they dragged me over to this bed but I was completely out cold so like these two weak nurse ladies are like trying to drag me and then this guy comes over and like grabs me and just hucks me up on the table and then they gave me more sugar cubes and were pinching my legs so hard I got all these small bruises hahaha and then I came back and was all good. It was sooooo crazzzy hahahahahaha I’m so dumb! I don’t know why I didn’t eat hahahahah but better question why the stupids didn’t tell me to eat before getting the IV hahahahahaha So yeah pretty crazy!! My eyes were super blood shot and were killing yesterday but they’re better now! I still don’t know why she jammed her thumbs in my eyes hahahahahah Maybe Josh knows??? hahahahaha It was pretty nuts hahahahaha Sandy was just what the heck is happening! I’m going to make a recording and have him explain it. He explains it sooo well hahahahaha! Thanks for the prayers!! Don’t even worry about me grandpa is hookin me up man!!! I got a legions of angels with me!!!! That’s crazy though that mom had me on her mind and stuff so much this week!!
I’m already healed by the priesthood so I’m good! We also have this cute little crazy lady that always invites us over to eat soooo much food and she found out I was sick and sent me a bunch of oranges and made me futu banana with this super yummy sauce which is like my favorite. She’s the best!! We are her”babies”! She’s an old widow! She is super crazy though. She says she is a missionary like us and that we are her children and that she hates black people and that she is white and yeah she’s a funny lady hahahahaha! Tonight I’m going to get a blessing for my eyes. The Lord healed the blind so why can’t he heal me! I love you with all my heart! Have an awesome week! Don’t you worry a second about me I’m in the Lords hands man!!!! Love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Elder LeBaron

Seriously – go get the meds for malaria. It is a parasite and doesn’t go away without drugs. The cycles of feeling better are the parasite hatching and then releasing. Get drugs and take them. I should know – had it five times myself.

Are you serious?! Not fun! He signed off from us yesterday and headed to the hospital for the meds. Thank you for your advice and continued prayers!!
