Hello, friends and family!
If you follow Ashley's blog but aren't her friend on Facebook, then you're probably wondering why you haven't heard anything from her lately.
Well, last Friday (the 11th), Ashley's mission president called Dad to let us know that Ashley was sick with pneumonia. At that time, they said that she would be resting at home until at least Sunday, and that her spirits were down because she really hates being sick, and really wanted to keep working.
Then the next day (the 12th), we got word that Ashley had been admitted into the hospital to receive IV treatment. They still expected that she would only be there for a few days, but we sent out a call for prayers, and many of us fasted for her on Sunday.
On Sunday, the mission president and Area Seventy gave Ashley a Priesthood blessing. They reported to Dad that she's alert and improving, just not as quickly as they'd hope.
Monday afternoon, Ashley was able to send a short email to the family. She sounded pretty miserable, but optimistic, as always. Her companion, Hna. Aldana, had been working with another Hermana while Ashley was in the hospital, but she invited us to send our emails to her so that she could print them out and take them to Ashley to read. She was so sweet to do that!
They said that she should be out of the hospital by Wednesday, but as far as we know, she's still there. We're so thankful to all of you who have prayed and fasted for her, and sent her encouraging emails! Your continued prayers are appreciated! We'll let you know once we hear more.
