Helloozzzz...............
Well I'll explain why I''m tired in a minute. Mom the pot is from Bro W's neighbor. I knew that it was a lecruset so I said I would take it and send it home. I realize that it is a little beat up. In fact when I tried to make macaroni and cheese it was a little bit of a challenge, just keeping the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. I wonder if there is a place you can get it re-enameled. I"m not sure what it is for, but I think it is so you can cook something on the stove, and then quickly move it to the oven to bake. Not sure what kind of dishes actually use that process.
A came over. Haha that is wonderful. I"m sure she now knows more about downtown Seattle than I do. Speaking of which how is the viaduct coming along?
Okie dokie. So Apache Junction is an amazing part of Arizona. Very small town rural feel. The best part has been getting to know the people. A woman was baptized on Saturday, and Elder Robinson and I got to perform Amazing Grace. The fun thing was I played piano and he sang. He is a really good singer which is fun. His voice is a nice 2nd Tenor and very smooth. He thinks that I know more about singing than he does, so I do my best to help him sound more relaxed and professional. On the other hand my piano playing hasn't improved much.
So we've taught a lot of people already which is much more than my last area. That said I just read an email that said there is a fellow with a baptismal date in my old ward. Oh so in AJ we cover three wards. All are very different. One ward is Gold Canyon which has some very affluent parts golf clubs etc. While most of the area is covered by wonderful little homes surrounded by forest. However when I say forest I really mean cactus plants, bunnies, lots of quail, toads, and lizards. It is a huge desert area. As I get to know people better I'll share with you more about the people, because they are so sweet and willing to serve you.
Right the biggest thing to report is something that I am very used to by now. For anyone that has been reading about the experiences I've had over the last 16 months you know that there have been a lot of medical things. It seems either me or my companion are always in need of some sort of attention. So this transfers installment of "Missionary Medical Chronicles" is brought to you by Elder Robinson. Saturday morning he got a nasty/severe/horrible ankle sprain possibly a break. All Saturday afternoon we were trying to take care of the baptism, as well as get Elder Robinson dressed. It's been an adventure as I've taken pictures and measurements of the swelling of his foot. As of this morning the index toe has swelled a good 3/4 of an inch in circumference, and his ankle has swelled the same amount only in diameter. The evenings have been filled with me getting up and changing his ice out, and giving him more ibuprofen. Saturday night I tried doing a 20 minute nap cycle, in an attempt to keep the ice rotated. That only lasted till about 1 in the morning. Sunday I spent the day writing, reading, and making a bunch of ice for the night time. Last night was easier with an hour and 15 min. nap cycles. I alternated switching out the ice, then giving him Ibuprofen and ice.
Elder Robinson is a really good missionary. we haven't had a lot of time to teach, but as soon as his foot gets better we'll be back on the path. He is a little older (21) did a year at BYU-I and worked. He is from Pullman Washington. So Leah you should look up his family when you get home.
That is about all I can think to report, I've lost all comprehensive capabilities in my brain from lack of sleep. If you want more info about the area I would suggest a multiple choice questionnaire or a short answer quiz.
Love your missionary,
Elder Will Davidson
