Howdy folks!
I haven't written on my own blog in awhile. I just wanted to give an update to whom ever looks at this thing if anybody, and thank my awesome sister Amy for trying to keep this up todate. I've been home for about 2 weeks. I've seen a few doctors and a super nice neighbor of mine who happens to be a Physical Therapist has come over and has been helping me. I'm doing a bit better, and continue to work hard at getting my health back to where it needs to be. I wanted to give a shout out to my family who has been nothing but loving a supportive. I've come to realize that we have trials so that we can learn and grow. I'm learning a lot and plan on learning even more when I return to Texas. That's right... I haven't finished yet, and I'll headed back one day. Well Haste Luego for now.

Coming home:(
This is Dana's sister and I have been absolutely horrible at updating Dana's blog. Well, things have been really rough for her the last several months. She has been suffering from some health problems and we all thought things were on the upside with finding a new doctor but she isn't recovering as well as anyone was anticipating. There is no one more hurt and frustrated with this than Dana herself. But I believe that that the power of healing is still a possibility and she can return to teach the amazing people of Texas before too long.
Here is Dana's last email. We are all here to support and show our love for her during this time of trial.
Howdy Family!
Well what to say... I'll see you soon?!?!! Ha ha naw I won't leave it there. This week has been a trying one, but a good one. As you all probably know I'll be home this week :( Probably Wed. it is hard to deal with, but I feel a great peace, so does my companion and Pres. Saylin. I don't know what is going to happen in the future, but whatever it is I know the Lord is watching out for me.
My compainon had to go to the doctor Wed. cause we dont' know why she is alway so weak and what was up with her fainting spell. It is really a good thing she only has one more transfer. After we got back from that she was acting super weird so I had her take her tempature and well it was 101 so we stayed in. She was still with fever on Thur. as well so we did exchanges with Hna Collins (mtc friend) and Hna Greenberg, so that I could go to my doctor's appt.
Friday was a little more eventful. We actually got out of the apt. First Tuesday... We had an amazing lesson with Maria Chavez. She is so cute. We took Hna Portillo (Obispo's wife) out with us. She isn't ready to get baptised but she is praying about it. She feels she will get baptized one day though. That was pretty cool.
We also had a lesson with Jasser and committed him to being baptized again on the 15th. He even told his mom. That is a good sign. We know he's going to make the step sooner or later we are just hoping for sooner rather than later.
Friday was district meeting. I had to give a talk. I think it went ok haha. Definitely better than my trainings haha. It was a good day over all.
Saturday it was made definite that I was coming home after talking to the Parents. Pres. Saylin feels good about the decision as well. He is an amazing leader and definitely was called of God.
It isn't easy we have to close this area cause there are an odd number of sisters, but we feel that the Elders who are going to help take care of the area are up for the challenge and are going to do amazing things here. I'm sad, but calm. I can't explain it. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and is going to be with me every step of the way. The plan is to get better and come back. If that is what I"m supposed to do the Lord will make it happen.
Thank-you for your love and support. I'll see ya soon!
