A ROUGH WEEK!!!

Hey mom!

I didn't get my goals for very depressing reasons, but everything is okay, so don't freak out when I tell you the following. First I had food poisoning for 3 days, and when I went out to work on friday (I had the food poisoning from wed to fri) I worked a part day because I didn't feel well, and on my way home I was hit by a motorcycle! I got 8 stitches, 6 in my cheeck and 2 in my chin. It's alright because I am going to be working again in a couple days, I just have to wait for the skin to heal over so sand doesn't get in and infect it. I think that is probably the only big story this week xD sorry for the bad news! It's just what happens. Here is the full story:

I just finished a not so fun day, so I was coming home from my last time at 7, because I still didn't feel 100 percent after having food poisoning for the last few days. So on my way back I tried calling the other Elders because they took my keys since there are only two full sets, and I finished trying to call them, so I put the phone back in my pocket and rode down the road towards the church, and I started turning because I didn't see anyone, there were no headlights since it was already dark by this time. So I start turning and I am going really slow, slow enough so that I have to keep the handlebars moving so I don't fall off, and I keep looking down the road and I can't see the car's headlights in the distance, or at least I can only see one. It was then that I noticed the motorcycle speeding down and I thought to myself quietly, "I'm going to be in an accident!" Not a very fun thought, it wasn't long after that a motorcycle slammed into my side, t-boning me as we slid a good 150 feet down the road. as soon as it happened a huge crowd congregated around the bike, and they started lifting the bike up while my shirt was still attached! I yelled for them to take it off, but everyone kept telling me to go to the hospital, whereas I just kept thinking to myself I just want to go home and lay down. I had no idea that I was bleeding so profusely or had such a big problem with the side of my face. So I had no idea what to do, I just told them I wanted to be in the shade or away from the rain, I don't know what the translation for the word is in english, and I sat down in a taxipouse (A bike driver who carries people in the back or his tricycle) as the crowd waved down cars to get someone to drive me to the hospital. So right after they waved someone down, I got in the car without thinking and we took off to the hospital, where I got 8 stitches without antestetics or anything, just like someone sewing my face up. It felt weird, but it's perfectly fine now. I spent the last few days laying down, so there isn't much more than that. Just weird getting stitched up without being numb. The right side of my nose is still a little numb, but the feeling has been coming back slowly so I am not too worried. That is my big  story for the week!

Oh yeah, I did go on splits with Elder Walker, we had a fun time, I liked the people, and I was his good luck charm, he got 2 dinner appointments, and extra bananas when he bought them.

Oh yeah, in the 2 days I did work I got half of my goals of 60 appointments! I was all the way up to 28! So I was fine with that. 



Love,

Elder Nash
