Day 59: Can I get a drumroll please...

The best friend of the year award goes to...Ms. Jenna Neeley! I woke up several times last night, having to take runs to the bathroom to throw up. I don't know whether I was having my first experience with food poisoning, or if I had a virus. I hadn't eaten anything bizarre, so I assume I just caught a bug.

I began getting ready for church this morning, still feeling rather ill, and Jenna insisted that I stayed home and got more rest. I really wanted to attend church though, Jenna was supposed to be teaching relief society and I didn't want to miss her lesson. However, I could hardly make it to the bathroom and back to my bed without having a hot flash and a nauseous sensation, so I decided to stay back.

I slept the morning away and woke up to sweet Jenna tickling my back to wake me up and check on me. She also came bearing gifts to aid my sick body. She brought my favorite bean bread, some cold sprite, and some beautiful looking grapes! I had never been so happy, nothing had sounded appetizing up until I saw these goods. Also, I have been craving grapes from the day we got here and for some reason haven't purchased any yet. I ate and savored the grapes one by one, and since I hadn't eaten anything all day, they tasted even better. Jenna is such a sweetheart, I am so lucky to have this little one exploring China with me, I am so grateful for her.
