                                                                                                           Actual Date: April 4,2011

Dear Family and Friends,
       This week got off to a rough start. we had a teaching appointment that did not go so well as I had hoped it would, and on top of that my companion (Hermana Rivera) woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pains but not wanting to bother she didn't tell me until 7am. As soon as I found out we went and got her a blessing in which I felt prompted by the spirit to keep an eye on her and that it could be appendicitis. When the clinic finally opened we went to see the doctor and guess what....he thought she had appendicitis too! So we went to the hospital where she had a CT scan and yes, she had surgery that afternoon to remove her apppendix. I find it amazing how the Lord blesses his missionaries and uses the spirit to direct us.  Hermana Rivera has been healing well. Oh, funny story, so when Hermana Rivera was transfered from the ER to surgery  I went with her. Since everyone knows we are missionaries they would ask "where are you from?" I told one of the nurses that I was from Connecticut. Come to find out she was Elder Braggington's mom. If any of you remember he served in the Ellington Ward about a year ago. She said that Ellington was his favorite place that he served on his mission and he loved the people of our ward. She gave him a quick call to tell him that she had met me. Small world we live in...particularly in "Mormon Land" aka Utah. Well I got a lot of reading accomplished this week while Hermana Rivera was in the hospital and while she was recovering. I almost finished reading the book Jesus the Christ. Also Hermana Rivera and I began reading the New Testament and The Book of Mormon together too. It has already brought us greater unity and strength in our companionship.
I hope you all enjoyed conference. I know I did. I received a lot of answers to questions I've been seeking.
Love, Hermana Dilzer.
