Soooo....President obviously called y'all. SURPRISE! So I've been pretty
sick right? it started like six months ago right? Well I really didn't
want to go home...and I felt like kind of a little better. So I took
advantage of that and ran with it. I also stopped communicating to the
doctors and Sister Ames. It was great. Missionary work was soaring! I
was loving it. :) But I progressively was getting worse again. A few
times I had experiences where I had the impression that I needed to go
home so I could get better...But of course I shook them off! They were
so subtle and it definitely is not what I wanted to do. I had it again
during General Conference...shook it off. Then this past Sunday.
The impression came so strong, so clearly...I know it wasn't me. But I
had the feeling..."It's time." It came three times. I couldn't fight
this one because it so distinctly was from God. So I talked to Doctor
Rose to see what his thoughts were. He also told me it was time to go
home for a little while until they can figure this out...then I can come
back as soon as I recover! He also prescribed me some new medication
until that time. So the next day, we were doing service and I had a
really negative reaction to the medication. I will have to tell you
about it later...but it was just not fun. But I've been worse ever
since...so Doctor Rose doesn't think it was the prescriptions. It will
be nice to find some answers! :)
At this point, I am at peace with going home because I know this is
what God wants for me at this time. Also, I know I will be a more
effective missionary when I feel normal again. I'm just anxious to get
feeling better! :) I plan on coming back out as soon as health allows!
I love y'all so much!
Love,
Sister Barnes
