Hello family!


This is Elder Buck! My email has been changed and so this is it for everyone to know mccoy.buck@myldsmail.net

I am also glad that I will be staying for another change because I love it here. Yeah we are doing a whole lot better and getting along really good!

Well as far as parasites, yes I do have them and three different types. They are (if I can translate what it is) Amoeba, Histolic, and cyst parasites. They are from the water and possibly the food. They gave me all sorts of medication but it did not work so I will have to go back for another test because it did not kill the parasites and it makes me really weak and tired at times.

Well my health as of right now right now....isn’t that good and I’m actually starting to get a little worried. Cause just about every week I will be sick and then the next week I will get better but then have some other kind of sickness. Right now I have Parasites, low blood pressure and that fungus that I had in Puerto Cabezas is back again. So I’m not feeling too good, and really I don’t care what the mission says! But they don’t care.

I don’t know if I’m losing weight but I’m looking a lot skinnier, I haven’t eaten a decent helping of food until today. We had Subway, but every time with like rice and beans or some traditional Nicaraguan food my body rejects or throws it up. I still have diarrhea and upset stomach always and tiredness. I am dehydrated but that is from the diarrhea but I have this bottle of pure electrolytes to keep my hydrated and drink more water then anything else.

They do sell juice and that’s all I have been eating for breakfast lunch and dinner with a little plate of food.

Yeah I have no strength at all and with the fungus that I got I cannot walk or sleep. But I’m trying to apply the conference talks to help me accept the Lords will and not murmur.

I loved the conference it was really good! I especially liked Elder Uchtodorf in the priesthood session and Elder Martino about facing adversity I got to shake his hand and talk with him two weeks ago when he came here.

Yeah they broadcast everything at the stake center where there is a huge projector screen.

That’s good I’m glad Carly had a good time in SLC. Easter here there really isn’t one here but they usually launch fireworks and go around carrying the Virgin Mary through the streets.

That sounds like you had a good Easter though! Im glad that you guys had fun!

I really didn’t have much to do this last week so don’t have much to say other then I was sick the whole time. But we did work though and have 4 baptisms planned for this week and hopefully we can get them baptized!

I love you all
Elder Buck
