Mono at the MTC!

phone rings
Mom: Hello!
caller: Mom?
Mom: um, what child is this?
caller: guess
Mom: um, um, (it sounded like Zak, but obviously, it wasn't/couldn/t be him) did you say Mom?
caller: yes
Mom: um, um, is this Zak?
Caller: YES!

He called because he is NOT going to Boston tomorrow, Wednesday, July 11th.  He was feeling sick last Thursday. He would have gone to the doctor on Saturday, but he doesn't work on Saturday OR Sunday. He went on Monday.

They checked him out, took some blood. He came back on Tuesday and he was told he has Mononucleosis! He has had a headache for several days, sore throat, a little tired, terrible head draining (read mucus related issues). The doctor wants Zak to stay at the MTC for AT LEAST one more week. He wants to see how Zak is doing/feeling. If he goes now to Boston and gets worse, he will just ground his companion. IF Zak does not get any sicker, he may be able to go to Boston next week. They expect Zak to have this for 2 to 3 weeks.

Zak sounded very happy, chipper, just like Zak; but VERY congested. He has a nice, positive attitude.

So, we all have ONE MORE WEEK to use Dear Elder and write  to Zak at the MTC for FREE! Remember, you can write to him in the morning before noon Utah time and he will read it THAT night!
(And you know you can use Dear Elder even after he is gone from the MTC. You will have to pay some postage, though. I don't know how much. Just so you know...)

He will also send an e-mail tomorrow.
He does not know anything about his new companion, or district. We'll all find out more tomorrow!
