[We received the following email from Britt's mission president and wife on December 31. Brittany is doing well and no lingering effects of being ill.]
Dear Brother and Sister Robertson,
Hope this email finds you and your family well.
President Sumagpao and I are so pleased with the progress of your missionary daughter. She is doing the best that she can to be an exactly obedient and an exemplary missionary.
Last Tuesday her companion informed me that Sister Robertson is feeling sick with stomach and muscle pain and with fever. I asked them to observe for two more days to rule out dengue for symptoms usually appear on the third day, as advised by the Area Medical Doctor. On the third day, since your daughter is still having fever and not feeling better, I asked them to go to the hospital here in Bacolod to get urgent medical care. Her laboratory tests showed she has urinary tract infection and viral infection. Our assistants reached out to them while they were in the hospital for one day.
We admire your daughter for her great courage and unwavering faith in spite of the affliction she had had. The following day, they wanted to get back to the apartment to work out the baptisms of the new people they taught.
Please know that we love your daughter for who she is and for the dedicated service that she willingly renders.
Thank you for all the things you do for the betterment of your Sister Robertson. Please continue to extend your unwavering love and encouragement to her as this will help bring out the best in her.
With love and respect,
Sister Sumagpao
