we are working hard but we only worked ONE DAY in the whole week. monday night i got sick with some stomach poroblems and i was down almost all the way through wednesday. we worked friday and then saturday morning the two elders that moved in with us had to go buy bed close by and i as their DL went with. we had no truck to bring em back so we decided to carry them... not too heavy nor too far. so we head out. its hot... the plastic is making me sweat profusely... we were walking alooong walking allooooong and then SLAM-OOOOO i went down... i was confused for a second but then i relized that i had just fallen into an OPEN MAN HOLE!!!!!!! is that even possible? YES! i fell in but the good thing is that it was only like 3 feet deep ish... but i landed with all my weight on my left shin bone on the edge of it.... oh it hurts... haha. and i couldnt walk... so i didnt know if my leag was broken or what had happened... we went to the closest members house and they helped me with the bleeding and we checked everthing out. got my strength back and hobbled home. laid down and put it up but it swole up nasty... so i called the presidents wife and told her and she FREAKED. and sent me the the red cross to get an x-ray... this is when i realized that there was a chance that i was gonna get sent home. so i started praying that there was not the least bit of a fracture.... went and waited for the Xray tech to show and taught a lesson on Baptism in the waiting room... haha. always looking for the chance to teach. and then finally took the x rays..........................................................................................................
NOTHING!
whew...
now i just have to deal with the swelling and the pain but i am good to go ...
turns out the the President had called every zone in the mission and told them to pray for me. haha. and this week we have a mission conference and everybody is going to be staring at me all wierd... haha
we are working and i am loving it...
