Last week I hurt my finger pretty badly playing basketball. I thought I had just jammed it but it kept getting more painful and bruised so finally last Monday the mission nurse and my companion said I needed to go to urgent care.
We drove all over town to find one that would take the mission insurance and we ended up seeing a really great doctor. I found out I have 2 bad breaks and had to see an orthopedic surgeon.
This is my actual x-ray. We saw him Thursday and he didn't like how close the break was to the joint. He said he would have to do surgery if it got worse. Thankfully this morning I found out I won't be needing surgery! I go back on January 3rd to make sure it's still healing and won't require surgery. Can you believe I played sports for this long and now is when I break my bone! Haha.
Other than all that craziness life has been good. We had our ward Christmas party which was fun! Here I am with my new brace. The doctor said the little splint wasn't enough support.
A lady we are teaching was struggling with coffee and we told her we would have to change the date of her baptism. She got very disappointed and I guess that's the motivation she needed! She gave us her coffee to throw away and she hasn't been drinking since. What a miracle! She has so much faith!
We got to go to the temple with our recent converts. It was an amazing experience. We did baptisms with 2 Hermana's from the Long Beach mission which was cool. They brought 2 recent converts and it was cool to see how happy everyone was!
I am excited my next p-day will be Christmas! Looking forward to calling back home!
