Well, this week has been fairly busy. To start out with, my companion dislocated his pinky last Monday playing basketball. He wanted to go to the hospital for it, so we started driving him. But we couldn't get a hold of the mission president's wife (who is also the medical coordinator) to get clearance for a doctor's visit. So we talked to the mission president, who told Elder Zastrow to reset it (he insisted that he had done it to his own fingers, shoulders, etc. many times). And so he did. And we got video documentation, which was the most important part, about 5 seconds after that was done. And then we wrapped it up and iced it all week, and we have been taking plenty of Ibuprofen, so all is well. Except that everyone keeps telling us that it still *might* be broken. But Sister Weaver continues to insist that we *not* seek professional assistance ("You are doing everything that they would have done anyway. And besides, if it is broken, it will get better, and if it is not broken, it will get better. You guys are so cute."). So that's still splinted, and the swelling might be going down. We aren't really sure. Also, when we briefly unwrapped it, he was able to bend it about 10 degrees.
And then on Tuesday, we took our car into the shop to fix a scratch that Elder Wilson put on the bumper a moon and a half ago. So we had to walk for 3 days.
On Thursday, we had a Halloween party. Aka, we got locked in the church from 3:00-9:00. Luckily, we got to spend it with the rest of the zone, so it was nice seeing other missionaries. We had a zone meeting at first, and then there was a potluck dinner, and then we watched a movie called Ephraim's Rescue. It's about the Ephraim Hanks and pioneers in the Willie and Martin handcart companies, and it's by the same people that made 17 Miracles, which I guess is supposed to be quite good (I haven't seen it). But that was enjoyable. After that, we just sorta hung out for the rest of the night, and then went home.
On Friday, we went on exchanges with the District Leader, and that was pretty good. It's always pretty fun getting to go out with other missionaries. And then we went knocking with the Spanish Elders, so we didn't even get to go tracting together. But knocking with Spanish was way fun too. The guy I knocked with was visa waiting, and he was way green. So that was really fun.
And that was pretty much my week. I'll be reporting on my assignment for next transfer next week, so send any mail to the office after the next couple of days. Love you all!
