How to Know You Don't Have a Parasite

Hermana Ostler’s Update – January 13, 2014

  

1. Clog the toilet again, because no matter how many times your compy tells you to put the paper in the bag... you just can’t. Because it is unsanitary and really, the paper should be flushed. 

2. Start to plunge. 

3. Start to observe. 

4. Start to get really worried when you see FLIES in...well, you know…

5. Invite the compy to look and verify. 

6. Start to freak out as a companionship.

7. Describe...you know... to your zone leader. (He will probably be grossed out and not want to hear.) 

8. Poop in a cup. 

9. Realize that the flies were from the plunger and that you don’t have parasites. Whew!

10. Repeat as necessary. 

But yeah. All is well.  Don’t have a parasite. 

Also this week we had the wonderful opportunity to teach a family that is having a lot of problems with familial abuse. The Spirit was so strong as we helped this family make goals and testified that, thanks to the Atonement, we can all change. I am really witnessing this family change. This doesn’t mean that I am unrealistic, but I see that they really can do it. The gospel changes people. That is its purpose. 

I love you all and am so thankful for all the love and support I have felt from you all over the years. 

Love, Hermana Alex
