This has been a somewhat
interesting week. First off thank you to everyone who has mailed me
packages! I forgot to make a list to make sure I said everyone's that i
have received because I know you wonder if i ever get them sometimes. I
got G&G Peterson, G&G Wright, Wade and fam, Steve Wright and
fam, and I think that is all. This is going to be a great Christmas.
To answer your question mom, transfers was not this week. They are
going to be on the 27th of December. Next week will go by real quick
because it's Christmas Eve, and then Christmas, then P-Day, then
Transfers. My guess is that both Elder Dyer and I will be staying
together for another transfer. To go along with this interesting week,
last Monday while playing basketball i injured my ankle... see the
picture. The picture is actually 3 days after the fact or so and it is
still swollen up. I'm icing it and elevating it and wrapped it. I
hesitate to say we were PLAYING basketball because we were at the church
for like 3 minutes still just warming up and shooting around and I
jumped up and came down on it wrong. So it got really big, like size of
a cantelope big, and we went back to the apartment and I called sister
Jergensen. She told me just to take ibuprofen, ice it, elevate it,
things I already knew and they also had some crutches at the mission
home that we had a member pick up for us and deliver them to me. So
this past week i've been on crutches. We weren't originally supposed to
have the car this week, but the other elders were nice and let us have
it. The sad thing is that the crutches were meant for someone who is a
maximum 5'10''. I had to slouch to use them, but they were what was
available. Luckily for me, our ward is chalk full of Foot Doctor
students who are going to DMU to become pediatrists and also a full
fledged foot and ankle surgeon. So I went and saw him 2 days later and
he said i should probably come into his clinic so that they could x-ray
it and make sure nothing was broken and so that i could get a boot. I
called sister Jergensen again, because my ankle was still huge half way
through the week and bruising now, to seek permission to go see a
doctor. This was Thursday night now. Friday she called back and I
talked to her and then Elder Craner (who is the Doctor assigned to this
mission and 2 others i believe) and he said i should go see a doctor and
get a boot. By the time i got the permission to go though it was too
late in the afternoon and i couldn't find anywhere until today and i
went and saw the surgeon in our ward. Nothing is broken, but it's badly
ruptured they said and now i'm in a walking boot for a minimum of 6
weeks. We are still working out the details of how the car share is
going to work and all that jazz.
So that is my story for the week. I've been hopping
around everywhere until today where i can walk again. On a funnier
shaft in the whirlwind of the devil thrown at me note, i also dropped my
toothbrush in the toilet yesterday morning. However i still have a
smile on my face and we are working as hard as we can. So some cool
news, our Recent convert Amber went to the temple on Saturday and loved
it! It is so sweet seeing her still work hard after her baptism to keep
progressing. In other news we are still working with Kirk and he is
doing great. Didn't make it to church this week unfortunately. We are
meeting with him tomorrow night though. He has come along way since we
first talked with him at our mailbox.
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time this week
because my doctor's appointment and then we had our carpets cleaned
today by our zone leaders ate up most of our p-day and we still have to
go shopping and set up for a church presentation we are putting on
tonight. I love you all and have enjoy the season! Wade and Brittany
are you still carrying on the Christmas Eve tradition and if so what is
the theme this year? This church is true!
