Dear Mom and Dad,
Happy Fathers Day Dad! I sure love you! I hope that you had a great day!
Mom, I enjoy all of your emails! In a year and a little bit more, I have never had a boring email! I don’t have a ton of time this week, we are going to the doctor, since Hna Carson is having some problems with her foot, and I wrote Presidente a really really long email, so my time is going to be a little shorter this week.
This week was really good. A couple of interesting things happened.
One. Last Monday Elder Howard, my district leader got his toenail removed because it was ingrown. He had decided it was a good idea to take it out on his own, and it got infected, so after a couple of weeks of Hna Baker and I bothering him, he went to the doctor. And, long story short, the toenail got removed. However, the infection did not get completely removed. So on Tuesday morning before district meeting, Hna Baker and I cleaned his infection out of his toe. We did it as completely sanitary as possible. We got there really early to clean the room up really well, and to start boiling water, so we could have sanitary water to work with. Elder Howard had exaggerated a little bit, the night before he made it sound like his toe was the fountain of blood that no one had ever seen, and in reality, with us it hardly bled at all. But, we got it all cleaned up with hydrogen peroxide. (Mom, I hope that you are doing a spelling check before you send this to anyone.) I think we almost made the poor boy cry, but at least his infection isn’t going to spread and he isn’t going to loose his toe or his foot during his mission. That was the goal. Given our circumstances, I think we did a pretty decent job.
Two. This last week we also did divisions! And I left again. I went to Pringles! My companion of two days was Hna Leguizamon. (Good luck saying that one.) We had a really good time. Pringles is a little city about two hours away from Bahía Blanca. We started divisions on Tuesday, and ended them on Thursday. There was a little bit of drama getting out of Bahía since most of the bus services had been suspended, but we finally made it out at about 8pm.

Before that, we were working in our area, and it was really nice to have a couple of extra hands on deck. We split up into three companionships, and my companion of a couple hours was the lovely Hna Squire. She is from HIghland, Ut, and I love that girl. We worked together for a couple of hours in Puerrydon, and sat together on the bus, and we have become BFF´s. I really hope I get to see her again.
Pringles is really weird. Everyone let us in. Okay, not everyone, but a lot of people. And everyone made it sound super small like SAO, but it really wasn’t that tiny. I really enjoyed my time there. And I had met Hna Leguizamon in Mar del, so it was really fun to work with her again.
I think the biggest surprise of the week was coming home, and hearing that Ivan has a baptisimal fecha. And yes, this is the same Ivan that confessed his feelings of amor. He, and his little brother Francis, will be getting baptized on Sunday. Yes. In six days. If all goes according to plan. I have no idea what happened in the lesson while I was gone, but I am really grateful. Tomorrow we will have our first lesson with them this week, and I am really anxious to see how it goes. Please, please pretty please pray for them. I know that Ivan already knows that everything is true. They would be such great members of the church! I will let you know next Monday how everything goes, but for now, please pray!
Okay, I am now going to add some pictures, and then I gotta go! Sorry my letter is so short this week!!!
I love you!!!
