Some crazy news...

This week has been a blur! Things are picking up here, and it's kind of awesome knowing that I'm halfway done with the CCM! Half of the MTC left Tuesday to go into the field, so I'm getting pretty pumped to get out of here! (We're now down to about 30 people) Hopefully these next 3 weeks will fly by.

Alright mom, so you're not allowed to freak out or worry or anything about this next part, but... I broke my nose. Haha, the first picture I sent is as bad as it got, I promise! The story is, we were playing basketball outside on Saturday, and there was a rebound that landed near me and another Elder on my team: Elder Shields. So, we both reached for the ball, and he's pretty tall, so he was bent down, and I SMACKED my nose on his forehead and fell backwards. Needless to say, there was blood everywhere both from the cut on my nose, and from both nostrils, but I got cleaned up and started icing it. (The second picture is right after the incident) Anyway, I talked to the Hermana Romney and the doctor here and they both said the same thing. If they were a betting man/woman, they would bet that it's broken. The good news is that it's not displaced at all, so I can breathe fine, and it's not bent. So the worst part is a little pain, and the best part is my gnarly black eyes! (third picture) Please don't worry though! I'm honestly completely fine!

Other than that it's been a pretty normal week. We went contacting with our normal companions down at the beach, and I hardly understand a word anyone says to me, but we're able to share a message and give out restoration pamphlets, so that's fun! 

I love you all! Talk to you next week!

P.S. The last picture is Elder Shields and I
