Hey guys,
so i hope the atachments work. its the pics of my ankle after the accident this week. and a video too if it works. anyways, i was coming out of a dinner apointment with the branch president and i was coming down the staris and it was dark so i couldnt see anything at the bottom. so i am stepping off of the last stair and the next thing i know i hear a loud pop and i am on the ground and my ankle hurts really bad. well as i was taking that last step whatever i was stepping on moved (not totally sure what it was, i like to think it was a hedgehog) and so then my foot turned on its side but the rest of my leg didnt. so all of my weight (which unfortunately has only gone up since i have been in mombasa, which makes no sense since i sit and sweat all day long even when i am inside under a fan doing nothing, i think i will come home weighing more than when i left. whats up with that? i went to africa, i am suppose to starve the wieght off) was on my ankle. it got super swolen super fast and it was hard to get my shoe off. then the branch president starts poking and canooding my ankle like he knows what he is doing even though he really has no idea. then after a few minutes he puts his finger in the air and gets this look of awe on his face as he exclaims " i am not a doctor, i will take you to the hospital."
Its not broken, but i am suppose to stay off of it for the next five days (five days from friday night) which isnt exactly the easiest thing to do when you are a restless 20 year old that is suppose to be out walking around andso on. and i dont have any crutches or a wheel chair or anything to aid in that. so its proving to be tricky. but i will be better before long.
Happy thanksgiving to everybody! i honestly didnt even know it was thanksgiving until it was mentioned in everybodys e-mail this week. its crazy that its that time of the year already. you can almost start listening to christmas music without anybody saying that it is too early and bla bla bla. it is my last thanksgiving and christmas away from home, im glad its my last and not my first. hopefuly this thanksgiving will be more eventfull than my last one. i believe i had french fries last thanksgiving dinner, and no lunch, and boiled eggs for breakfast, and i dont even like boiled eggs, unless they are deviled eggs, but that different cause you add a whole lot of mayonaise and spices.
The rest of the week went pretty good. a lot of our investigators just finished their semester of school. which is good cause they now have time to meet with us during the day. the bad news of it is that most of them will be leaving for up-country within the next few weeks since they dont have school and wont be back until shool starts again. but at least for this week it should be good. I just hope we can stay busy through december when everybody goes home. but i hear that the up-country problem isnt as bad here as it is in nairobi. thats what the members say, but i wonder if tat just means that not as many people are gone since the muslims dont leave since the coast is their up-country or if it really isnt as bad.
You are all in my prayers. Be happy at all costs, and know that i love you.
