So there comes a time in the mission where you find out... Well bad things do happen to missionaries! A couple weeks ago I was eating some pretzels, and i took a bite out of one, and the pretzel broke weird. Some of it got inbetween my teeth so I went to floss.I got somes stuff out but It still felt like there was some stuff in there, but I didn't care to much because we had a lesson to go to. So time passed & I didn't realize that I got used to this feeling. Last week while flossing my floss fell into an unknown crevace in my 2nd to last molar. I realized then that I had a cracked tooth, and that I needed to get it fixed. I was cleaning it out the best I could, but as I was doing this, it chipped off. This isn't the bad part. It uncovered I nice hole in the tooth behind it! These past couple of days I've had some sensitive teeth. Tomorrow I go in to get it fixed. Hopefully I don't need much more than a filling.
In other medical news Elder Ramsey had a fun experience yesterday. As he and Elder Ragan were coming into the complex, (on their bikes) Elder Ramsey's back tire was clipped by a car. It was enough to send Elder Ramsey flying, yet to land on his feet. He is fine, but the peeving part is that the car that hit him drove off without a word. Eeeesh.... Elder Ramsey is perfectly fine. He called Pres. Jensen just to let him know what went down. Pres. Jensen told him to take it easy today. Elder Ramsey has been trying to get this card to work, but none of us are buying it. Elder Ramsey is such a nut!
I've been hammered these past two days. Since we have a car only half of the time, obviously we're on bikes. The problem is, that the Hispanics are a half an hour out from our apartment. Not including the humid heat, it...is.... hard... Blech... Fortunatly there is work to do. It's just a matter of getting there. Oh yeah! My first week here my tire blew out! So I had to go buy some tubes and stuff. It cost me $41.41. My tire is huge! So tubes automatically cost more. But it's a pretty smooth ride!
Things are coming together though. One of our "Eternals" is only steps away from the font. Wilber, has been waiting for some papers to come from Mexico so he can be married to his Member Wife. (Yes they are breaking the law of Chastity), but they've been waiting for this paper for quite a while. I know missionaries have been going for a couple years, so... Yeah... I'm just going to get them married! We are waiting for an agency to get just a little bit more info. It's just a matter of time now!
Lessons have been down this past week. We had a total of 8 lessons. This no car thing is taking a toll on the area. Hopefully we become awesome planners, and things work out.
I love you all Para Siempre,
Elder A. Ipson
