Hola everyone
This week, Elder W and I took a trip to the outside world, specifically to the hospital. If you don't remember, Elder W is the one who jacked up his thumb pretty bad. Apparently, the doctor might have ripped apart all the ligaments inside his hand in an attempt to fix it. Elder Wr had an MRI to get to, and a split was authorized by the zone leaders so we headed to the travel office. Our first driver was a pretty small guy, and I'm pretty sure he had an eyepatch and at least one pet sugar glider. When he laughed, he basically just stuck his tongue out and exhaled real loud. What a guy.
Last time the Elders went to the hospital, a guy named Daniel asked Elder F if he had shingles. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see what might befall us. Unfortunately, the Hospital visit itself was not very exciting. All though I did see an old lady with a shirt that said "I just need a little Coffee and a lot of Jesus." What a thrill ride.
On the way back, our driver was a real angsty RM who didn't seem very happy to be driving us. He also shouted down a group of EFY Kids, and that was awesome too.
Elder W got a whole bunch of medical news that didn't make sense to me, but the short of it is that he'll be wearing a cast for the rest of his time here but his mission won't be delayed. We were all really nervous for him but he's good to go.
In other news, Elder L sprained his ankle really bad playing basketball but he'll probably still be able to leave to Peru on time. He is crazy. He and his companion built what they call "Megabed", which was two bunk beds pushed together so it was like to queens stacked. Anyway, now he's on crutches.
The day after Elder L
got hurt, one of my zone leaders, Elder K, was playing volleyball and completely dislocated his foot from his leg and fractured one of his bones in his leg. That one was really bad, He's a huge guy and he came down on his ankle really wrong. I really hope he's ok, we're praying a lot for him.

Also, we got new Elders this week. My companion is the district leader so I got to look at their pictures and names the night before, and one of them is Adam Geilman, my good friend from high school. That was pretty wild, and a huge blessing to have a familiar face in my branch.
The new elders in my room are Elderes R y L, they're good guys, and one of them has a fridge for medical purposes so we're good friends. Before they arrived, I migrated to the top bunk above my companion. Originally I was bummed, but I quickly realized that I was right below the vent so I made a tent out of blankets that funnels the cold air right into my bed and seals it in. My alarm clock has a thermometer, and last night I slept at a cozy 64 degrees. It was very nice.
You all should read Enos 1:15 and pay close attention to the end. I've been sharing that one a lot with our investigators because they need to know that They're heavenly father has the ability to help us and wants to help us as well. And that knowledge is applicable to everyone.
I Love All of You.
-Elder Thomas
