No
but really. So my toe had been having a little bit of trouble, the nail
was ingrown you see. I called to the mission nurse and asked if I could
take some anti biotics for the minor infection. She said I had to first
send her a picture. Long story short, she may have freaked out a little
bit at the picture and sent me to the hospital. So here's what
happened.
We went on Wednesday to the clinic
and worked for a couple hours trying to get all the insurance stuff
figured out. We met with the doctor and he set an appointment for the
following day.
We arrived Thursday and they
have me remove ALL OF MY CLOTHES . I then had to put on the typical
surgery gear. It looked like I was going to have my appendix removed or
something. I went into a wheelchair and was wheeled into the sanitary
zone and literally layed down on an operating table. The doctor shot
some anesthasia into my foot and began to cut. I hate needles. Nuff
said. He then stitched up my toe, during which I learned that you can
stictch through the toenail! Who knew?
We had
two days sitting in the pension. If I didn't have my guitar I would have
gone crazy. Today we went back and he took the stitches out. Let's just
say that my career as a foot model probably won't take off anytime
soon, haha....ha....ha.....
While I was in the
operating room my companion found some golden investigators though! The
Lord works in mysterious (and sometimes foot model career killing) ways!
We
watched conference this week too! All the missionaries from our stake
joined up at the conference center. They even had a gringo room where
all of us from the U.S. got to watch in English!
Things super awesome from conference:
- 'I can teach you to dance, but you have to hear the music' -- This was probably my favorite talk from conference. It used many references to music.
- Elder Bednar quoted my favorite scripture when he said 'Perfect love casteth out fear'.
- The father of one of my friends, Elder Sitati, spoke in the last session.
- I learned that I need to get married. Like every talk told me that. Especially the morning session Saturday.
- Elder Holland started to talk about st. george and I couldn't even contain my excitement.
I love you all so much! Read your scriptures!
