This week has been a week filled with strange experiences... Here are a couple:
1.
One of my fillings fell out. I decided to go to a local clinic to see
what they would do to fix it. The dentist said, well it'll take about 15
minutes of your time and 40 bucks. 15 minutes seemed like a very short
amount of time to replace a filling, but I said okay... and she sat me
down and said, would you like anestesia? I thought about it for a little
bit and decided, well that's usually the worst part, so I opted to go
all natural. I'm pretty sure that was a good decision on my part... the
drilling didn't hurt too bad and there was no swelling afterwards! I
think American dentists should give the option too!
2. I think I
told you about the family that we were teaching that said that we were
angles sent by God to help her out of her drug addiction.. right? Well
she smoked crack this week... and went into a deep depression. It'll be
interesting to see how this one plays out.
3. Speaking of
drugs... a recent converts daughter is a huge druggie that lives in the
street and always walks around drunk. Well this week she over dosed
really bad and came to her moms house and passed out and started having a
seizure. The police came and she called us and had us give her a
blessing. It was pretty nuts. I wish I could say that stuff like that
hasn't happened to me a lot on the mission, but for some reason crazy
things like that just seem to be normal here.
4. I had to come
up to San Jose to get a package out of customs... and it is freeezing
here! I forgot just how hot my area was. I can't wait to get back to the
humid air! Also, Costa Rica changed their rules and if you send candy in
a package it gets stuck in customs... so just don't write candy or food
on the package labels... just missionary supplies (suministros
misionales) and other stuff like that, because it's hard
traveling 3 and a half hours to go to the city.
That's about
all I have time for... since I'm in the city I dont have my camera with
me... sorry for not sending pictures for such a long time!
Love you lots!
