We are sitting in the Paducah building playing with Nerf guns! I had forgotten how much I love this place. The cool thing is that exactly a year ago I got to Paducah. We came down to Paducah for a funeral. It was suppose to be for Friday but it got moved to today because of the weather. It snowed again!! But this time the snow melted in just a couple of days. It started snowing on Wednesday and so everything was closed on Thursday... Including Walmart!! Anyways then on Friday we went to Spanish conference and my companion ended up in the ER....
Alright lemme explain, so Hermana Hoferitza has this cool scar across her neck. (She always tells people that she got her scar fighting her ex-boyfriends, jealous ex-girlfriend who tried to slit her throat... But that's not true) ACTUALLY what happened is that her saliva gland started making stones and it got infecting and so they had to go in and take her gland out which left a cool scar across her neck. Anyways, so this surgery happened about a year ago and just now about a week and a half ago it starting acting up again. So we had made plans to see the ENT specialist but the weather had gotten in the way and the doctor just wouldn't come in to work! And Hermana Hoferitza was in so much pain and it was just getting progressively worse. So come Friday morning she couldn't eat or drink anything, but we didn't want to go to the ER in Hoptown because we had heard some really awful stories about it from all the members. So we get all the way down to Nashville for the Spanish Conference and the first thing we do is call president to get permission to drive to the ER. I couldn't drive her but Hna Lapin took her. At the ER they tell her she has an infected apses. They cut her open! And all this gross infected stuff came out! It was crazy! So now she has this cut in her mouth that needs to drain. Yesterday she slept for 20 hours straight!
So that was my week. Snow and infections...
But actually Spanish conference was really nice:) we got to get together and learn of way we can apply our teachings to our investigators and the culture. I love this culture! I love my mission!
Spring is coming! I'm so happy:)
Love yall!
Hermana Orellana:D
