Mexican burri-TOE

Howdie do yall day?

Well first off this week has been crazy! it is just funny to me how we plan to have certain things done and you know what? they just dont seem to happen! Life isnt it? well

Last Monday we went looking for an apt, and this monday we moved into a new apt. crazy fast right? but good news is that the floor isnt slanted and it doesnt smell of doggy poo poo...its a really nice apt and we love it. and we just found yesterday that our neighbors below us are avid smokers---and not of the regular lung cancer giving tabacco....but of the happy headed plant that grows in the form of many leaves...oh and its illegal....weeeeeeeed....we also learned if you close the bathroom door and then go inside it you can probably leave the bathroom pretttty happy. Needless to say looks like our neighbors need some good ol Church of Jesus Christ in their Lives to help solve some problems :)

Oh and other big news this week---well Ive been having some pain on my 4th toe and feeling some pretty hard bumps on there, I talked to sister doll and she told me I should go check to see if I have any bone spurs on that toe...so off me and Hermana Hoer go to visit the poditrist. After going to a poditrist and having her tell me that I did not have a bone spur but that it was just had a hardend blister, giving me a badage that makes my toe look like a Mexican burri-TOE and sending me on my way...Decided it was probably best to go for a second opinion...

Second opinion: Comes in, looks at my toe, tells me I have two bone spurs. weeeeeeeeee. what does that mean? Surgery! YIPEEEE! you know how I just love needles! So Friday I go in for some bone shavin on my toe. Im goin to the hospital, theyre putting me under and then knumbing my toe up, cutting it open and filing off the lovely bone lumps that have been growing on my toe. Then I wake up with a cool new shoe on. Its gonna be the hip happenin thing here in chicago, just you wait, surgical boots are gonna be in! everyones gonna be wanting to wear one :)

Oh and that means I have to be off my foot for at least 1 week...off my foot for one week in an area where I ride a bike everywhere????thank goodness for zone meeting tomorrow and the fact that they have an extra car for us to use this next week.

p.s. you know whats nice about cars? They have air conditioning.

P.s. you know whats nice about air conditioning? You can actually cool off a bit and not feel like your constantly sweating with the humidity.

So the bone spur adventures will continue next week when im done my surgery! :)

Another thing that happened this week....was that well we moved on monday and some elders came to help us..including our zone leaders....and while they were finishing putting some last little things in our apt we were putting our bikes in the bike room...we came out the same time they did and we left to go drop off alllllll the old sister missionary clothes that have been in our apt for who knows how long..on the way back from dropping the stuff off the zone leaders start talking and say "its really weird that you hermanas have a handicap bathtub" needless to say an interesting discussion was then insued..on whethere our bathtub was really a handicap one..."we live on the third floor in a building with no elevator. how is a handicap person gonna get up those flights of stairs to even use the so called handicap bathtub" we got to our apt and they told us to just go check...ya ya whatever. we get up to our apt and by this time have already let the whole issue pass through our brains to point that weve even forgotten about it. I need to wash my hands so I go into the bathroom and see something funny sitting behind the shower curtain. what ? I pull away the shower curtain and sure enough you know whats sitting in our bathtub?

a wheelchair.

what to do with it now? we have no idea. Yet.

The work here presses on and we are ready to see more miracles this week...The awesome new investigator we found this week, Ramon, well it turns out hes outside of our area :( but there was definately a plan of god invloved in all of this because prettys ure that had we not gone to look at the apt we would not have found him and neither would the other elders serving in his area...God is Great.

Mike-You graduate!!! WEEEEEE congrats! :)

  

but thats all Ive got this week! Till next! sure love you all so much!

paz y amor
