Yes, I broke my foot. Preparation day was quite eventful last week. It all started on last Monday. I had the good old preparation day email session, followed by an hour long drive to Pendleton, Oregon. We arrived and ate lunch at a pizza buffet (pretty good day so far). We went to the church building afterward where we were getting together for sports and later on, a Zone blitz. We played basketball and scatterball (best game ever). In the middle of one of the scatterball games, I jumped up into the air to dodge the ball and I landed a bit weird I guess. I heard and felt a pop and a cracking sound. My companion at the time said it sounded bad. I thought it was just a sprained ankle. It hurt, but it was manageable. I went into the clinic the next day and X-Rays were taken. The X-rays weren’t really conclusive, because the clinic said they thought they saw something, but they couldn't really tell. I ended up having a CT scan the next day to see for sure. We got a call a couple hours after we left the clinic, and it was confirmed. I have a hairline fracture along one of the bones in my left foot. I was ordered to come back into the clinic to get a boot and later went off to get crutches. I was ordered not to put any weight on my foot for the next 4 weeks, and even then I'll still have to wear the boot for 2 weeks after that. There was a bit of a dilemma. How was I supposed to proselyte? Well the short answer is, I can't really. I got called from my Mission President, President White, and I was told there was a possibility that I would have to go home early. He called my Stake President and my Stake president called my parents and everything. Fortunately, instead of needing to come home, I was moved to Kennewick. I will be working nights with either the Zone Leaders here in Kennewick, or the AP’s, and I will be working in the Mission Office for the next month during the day while I heal.
That's my situation for the next month or so. It's better than going home.
I will know more and update everyone next week.
Thank you for your prayers and support. The Gospel is true.
