Hey guys!!!! Happy New Years!!!!
I almost broke my ankle!!!!!!!! I was messing around with my companion, and I wasn't really paying attention to the fact that there was a curb, and welllllllll I went to the hospital the next day to make sure it wasn`t broken. My ankle literally looked like a baseball! We actually thought that somehow the bone had come dislocated and was off to the side..... Ya, I was freaking out. I was thinking to myself, "I just barely got back! Now I'm going to have to go home for another 6 weeks!!!!!!" Luckily that wasn't the case. The x-rays didn't show any fractures, or anything weird with my ankle, so the doc said that it was just a super bad sprain. I couldn't walk on it or anything it was so bad! So he gave me some cream to help with the inflammation, and some pain pills and then wrapped it in some bandages. He asked if I wanted a cast for it and I was like NO!
Anyway, I
was on crutches these past two days so I could get around, and today it
still hurts, still pretty swollen and blue, but I can walk again!!!!
Back to the missionary work!!!!
So I'm in a new area called
Cuauhtemoc now! Its a super rural area, (kinda how I thought Mexico
would be like when I first opened my mission call) and its super cold
and super windy! There's also a lot of natives here, its super awesome.
They are literally living proof that this gospel is true!!!! So their
God is called, Unuruami, an ancient white god that came and visited
their Grandfathers here in the Americas (Definitely has
nooooooooooooooooo conection to Christ coming to the Americas (Hint on
Sarcasm)) and their faith in him is super strong. They know this god
Is Jesus the Christ, when I show them a picture of Christ being
baptized, or of when he came to visit the Americas! The Gospel is true
my friends!!!
The only bad thing about this area is the
relationship between the missionaries and the members. In the past the
missionaries here in Cuauhtemoc have been super disobedient and didn't
really care about much, and they kinda ruined the relationship with the
members. There's a lot to fix here, but I`m definitely ready for the
challenge!!! I`ve already talked with the District President, and some
of the branch presidents here and we`re all meeting this Wednesday to
see what we can do about making Cuauhtmoc a whole lot better all
around!
My new comp is Elder Hansen! He's a district leader
for the missionaries here, and he's a super hard worker! We're definitley going
to be kicking butt here together! We get a long pretty well too!
Oh
also to explain that one pic I'm sending, there's this really cool member
here who loves the missionaries here and he offered me acupuncture for
free (its his business) to help with my ankle! It was super weird being
stuck with a whole bunch of needles....... I had like 20 needles in me
at once!!!!! It was super cool. Have a great year guys, and be
safe!!!!!
Siempre Fuerte,
Elder Pettingill
