What's up everyone it's been a bit I'll get you up to speed. This is in fact my second time writing this whole email because I accidentally deleted it. 🙃 also this will be the longest email I'll ever have so you better read it.
Tuesday 6/8
I gave my comp a dope haircut. He needed one bad before zone conference on Thursday. I decided on giving him Saturn's rings type cut. He wasn't too happy so I fixed it by giving him a short buzz.
Saturday 10/8
So I've had an inguinal hernia my whole life, didn't get it fixed because it hasn't been giving me problems until now. Probably didn't help that I walked into a handrail guard thing a few weeks ago.
Stupid thing was in the middle of the sidewalk.
Also having an awful cough made it worse. So I started feeling pain and went to to doctor so he could check it out.
Monday 12/8
I went to the hospital in the morning to get a CT scan to double check that I need to get surgery to fix it.
After that we went souvenir shopping because there was a chance I had to go home to get the surgery.
We got a call on the train that we needed to come back immediately. We got off before it left and called an Uber to the hospital. We got there and the doctor told us that I have to get the hernia fixed and that he found something else in the CT scan. My appendix was inflamed and was about to burst. He was like you got 1 hour to get the ok from the mission president then we are going to operate.
President Doxey and his wife pulled up, signed a paper, president and my comp gave me a blessing and I was sent to the operation room.
They gave me anesthesia which was lit, I woke up super high but I could still translate spanish for sister Lindstrom who was chillin with me.
I had to stay in the hospital from Monday night to Wednesday morning. It was awesome. The ap's took turns being with me, we watched Ford v Ferrari and some boxing.
Wednesday 14/8
I got out of the hospital and went home to pack up my stuff. They moved me to a sector called Villa el sol. Which is the top part of Rancagua. I'm in a trio now with Elder Christensen 🇺🇲 and Elder Segatta 🇧🇷 but I don't go put and work with them. I get picked up every morning and go to the mission office. I just chill there, take naps and help the senior couple missionaries with the computers sometimes.
I go back to their apartment from 5 until 9pm when they drop me off at home.
Today I go to the doctor so he can tell me how long I have to recover for. I would send a pic of my 4 incisions but I've decided only my future wife will get to see them! Haha sorry bad joke.
What did we learn from this? Maybe I got karma for fricking up my companions hair? Maybe he's bad luck because he's been comps with someone else who needed their appendix removed also. Maybe I need to be more obedient and stop the secret combinations I'm up to. I wasn't scared to get surgery here in south America because I knew I would be alright because I have God on my side. Name of Jesus Christ amen.
