Dengue News...

Hello Sister Hemmert,
This is Elder Burton, your sons companion. He gave me this email so I could let you know that we went to the hospital today and that he has Dengue. He is doing well. I am taking good care of him. He is currently resting at the apartment with three other Elders. I am here to email you and my family. Sorry you had to find out this way, but I will do everything I can to help him recover. 
I have to go. I hope you had a great week and are doing well.
Elder Burton

This was the letter we received letting us know that Britton was ill. It was very scary and upsetting. Luckily we were surrounded by family as it was the 4th of July. As the week progressed, we asked for fasting and prayers, and our boy had a truly miraculous recovery. The following are pictures we would get as updates from the mission nurse who kept in touch with us daily as he recovered.


We laugh, because this felt like a POW picture!
"NO, really Ma, they are treating us great, I am healthy!" haha
