Amebas

One day when I was at Leon, I suddenly got real sick. I couldn't even stand up I was so sick. Elder Butler took me to the district president who happended to be a pharmicist, doctor, salesman. He knew right away what the problem was, I had the dreaded "Amebas." He gave me medicine to help be get better. After improving he asked me how much longer I had to serve on my mission. I told him nine more months. He gave me enough medicine to cover the rest of my mission with out charging me a cent.

I took the medicine the rest of my mission. I continued to improve but I was never felt very strong and healthy much during the last nine months of my mission. When I got home I weighed only 120 pounds and was very weak. I was near 180 pounds before coming to Mexico.

The kind district president now servers as a General Authority of the Church in the Second Quorum of Seventy.
