Week 67 Buena Vista

Hey everyone! This week was a very interesting week. We had transfers, and my companion, Elder Rasmussen, was doing awesome. We worked hard and did what we could through the week, but my companion said he wasn't feeling well a few times, but then on Friday Elder Rasmussen said in the middle of the night, like 1 o'clock, "We have to call the nurse". He was finding blood when he went to the bathroom and had huge cramps, so we called her, and then President Layton, and he said we had to go to the hospital. We called the zone leaders and went on a 2 am trip to the emergency room. We waited there until about 5 in the morning, and he was diagnosed with colitis, or inflamation of the colon. But, the next day, things were even worse, and we made another trip to the emergency room, this time at 8 o'clock pm. We stayed there until 6 o'clock am when they took him into his own room. And he stayed there. I switched off with other elders in my district watching him, and he stayed today Monday as well. The doctors believe he has Crohn's disease, so they're going to do a colonoscopy tonight on him to find details. My companion is only 2 transfers out and having a super hard time. Please keep him in your prayers. When President Layton came by yesterday, there were members who came to visit who were leaving just as he came in. He thanked them, walked in, and after greeting us and assessing the situation, said probably 5 times, "I love the latin people. They are the best." We're still not sure what's going to happen to Elder Rasmussen, and he is having a really hard time right now, so keep him in your prayers please. I love you all, and have a great week!
