first of all thanks for all the birthday wishes!!! im officially a viejo haha. so this week was pretty normal for us!! we worked hard as ever and had some fun along the way which is always important.
so carlos is doing super good!! he wants to be baptized this week, we just have to teach him a couple more things and he'll be ready to rock and roll!! he is currently going to seminary right now and the ward is supporting him a ton so thats AWESOME.
We had a hard time finding the familia bay this week.. they work a lot!! but they were able to come to noche de hermanamiento and also to english class so thats super awesome!!
okayy now to explain the glorious title of my email.
so thanks to my lack of being able to cut my own toenails very well, i had a gnarly ingrown toenail!! so we had some options. call the nurse, and get it surgically removed, or do it myself. so i obviously picked the last option cuz i was nottttt tryna go to surgery with needles and all that terrible stuff.
so i began the operation in my room, and it went bad quickly hahah. i tried to get the nail out and it busted, so i had the other half of the nail in my toe with no way to get it out. so i was just like "FETCHHHH bro" when my boy Elder Saunders came into the room. this dude worked as a surgical assistant before the mish, so he just grabbed the surgical supplies and went to WORK. i was almost crying because of how bad it hurt, but my man took out that toenail and now my toe is back to 100%!!
and now for the buses. so me and my comp were delivering all of the supplies to the missionaries in our zone (copies of the Book of Mormon, folletos, cards, and stuff like that).
so we were on these super spooky red buses, and the drivers of these buses think they are in a Nascar race when they drive!! they go sooo fast and they dont wait for anyone or anything. so we were pulling up to one of the areas to drop off the stuff, and we had to be super fast cuz the bus is always going like the speed of light. so i get out of the bus, and my comp was passing me the supplies and i was running it to the elders!! i dropped off the pamphlets successfully, then went back for the box of the copies of the Book of Mormon. i was running with the box when i start to see the bus leave, with my companion inside of it!!! so i throwww those dudes the box of like 36 copies of the Book of Mormon and sprint for the bus!! the bus was going like 10 miles per hour when i jumped. but when i jumped, he started to close the door!!! luckily, i had a firm hold of the handlebar so the door just smacked me super hard then opened back up again!! it was super super wild.
not much else to say, I love you all
