I’m not a child, but my heart still can dream!
This week was quite the week. It started out with a Training for the trainers and the new missionaries in the mission. It was quite good to learn a lot about how I can do better. And not to mention, I had a marveleous reunion with Elder Dial there! At the meeting, I finally got permission to get my lovley in-grown toenails taken care of. I was excited to go and get them done. I called the doctor that I had found and marked for the next day. I woke up that morning full of hope and faith that my toes would be healed for forever. I got to the Doctor's office and got a little nerveous. It was a very small place. He called me back and commanded me take off my shoes-- so I did. I thought he needed to like look at it for a second to see how much numbing he would give me or how big of a shot he would give me to take away the pain. He ended up taking out a razor and started cutting at the skin. All of this without pain killer mind you. I clentched my teeth together and made it through the first toe a little weak from the pain but still alive. When he started on the other toe I felt the worst pain that I had ever felt in my life. He basically cut the nail with the razor, then took some poker type thing and started digging inside my toe to try and get ahold of the ingrown part to rip it out. He dug in the toe for what seemed like years but was only about 5 minutes. The only thing I could do, in my own power, was try and think happy thoughts. It worked a little bit but I was still on the verge of tears. Finally he finished as he said:”These are some of the biggest ingrown toe-nails i have ever removed!” He said that one of them was so ingrown that it was actually growing back underneath the nail. Yeah....cool right! I'm trying to think of what kind of blessings I will receive in my life because of passing throught this experience but the only thing that I can think of that measures up to the pain would be a 30 out of 10 wife. (10 being the highest) We will see!
This week we will be having two more baptisms! She finally decided to actually follow the many responses that she has received and her and her daughter will be baptized this next Saturday! I am very excited for them!
Last night was the first of our Christmas music shows! It was awesome! We got probably 100 references there and brought a lot of people to tears while we were singing. It was quite the experience!
So my brother was called to Mexico for his mission. That's 3 lamanite missions that our family has been called to. Look out niles, I smell samoa!! Due to his being called to Mexico, I have decided to catch up on my Espanhol! Yo Hablo bem no é! Nosotros vamanos hablar mucho enquanto tú voltareis! Good right!
Well have to go BAPTIZE THE WORLD!!!!!
Eu amo cada um de vocês!
