What a week. So for those of you who don't know, I've been sick to varying degrees over the last couple of months. Last Monday I got a call from President Bendixsen letting me know that I was being transfered down to Abidjan to go to the hospital where we can, hopefully, figure out what's been going on.
So on Thursday, Elder HoChing and I packed up our bags and left our little village for the last time. I'm sad that my time in Ahoutoué has come to such an abrupt end, but I'm glad to be here where I can get some actual medical care.
After I had a couple of days of testing, Elder HoChing was transferred to another area where he will spend the rest of the transfer. It was sad to see him go but I'm glad that he will be able to get back to work.
For the time being, I'm with the office Elders. It might yet be a couple of weeks before we are able to get everything situated and I'll be transferred to a more permanent area. But for now, I'll be working with he office Elders down here in Abidjan while I get my testing and, eventually, treatment for whatever business is going on inside me.
This wasn't exactly the direction that I though my mission would go at this point. Regardless, I am already seeing a lot of the blessings that are coming from this slight detour. Soon enough, I will be better and be right back to work.
One pro is that I'll get to spend my birthday in Abidjan later this week. Anything to make it better than last year's birthday when I was stuck inside the apartment with no water or electricity in a village out in the middle of nowhere.
I pray that I will get some results back from the hospital soon and that whatever the problem is will be treatable from here. I put my trust fully in the Lord and in His plan for me.
Have a great week!
Elder Farr
