hey everyone!
things are good as always. still not much has happened, at least with me anyway. so tuesday we went back to the ENT to check out my comp's ear again, and it was still messed up, so we set up an appointment to go to the hospital yesterday morning, so the 11th at like 7 in the morning, which was a bugger, but oh well. so we went to the hospital and he had to get surgery to put some tubes in his ear, which was like a 10 minute operation. but after the operation the doctor came in to tell me how it went, and he said he got rid of all the fluid, but there was like some soft tissue or something or other that's still blocking it, and so he cut some of it out and is gonna run some tests on it, and as far as i know we have to go back next thursday to get results and stuff. so we're pretty convinced he's gonna have to be delayed since we're leaving like 4 days after his follow-up, and if he has to get more surgery, it's risky business. so we'll see how that goes.
oh and as far as i know now too, we are leaving the 23rd. cause there's this thing called in-field orientation, which is weird since we stay on campus all day, so i'm not really sure what happens there, but you have this orientation the friday before you leave, so that means we leave the 23rd, which is a bummer, but oh well. i guess it's just 2 more days to learn some spanish. it's kinda starting to freak me out that in like 11 days i will have no choice but to speak spanish all the time, there won't be any slipping in an english word here and there when i need it, so it's a little stressful. but then i am super pumped to get out of here, i'm not ready at all, at least in the spanish sense, but i'm ready to talk to real people. i'm gonna have to decide not to be scared to talking to random people, which will be hard. but i'm never gonna see any of them ever again, so why should i be scared? :)
we've been having a ton of talks about not plateauing and setting good goals for our last two weeks and stuff, so it's good. i'm trying hard to make sure i'm as ready as i can be. there really is just a lot to absorb and a lot to do, so there's no way to get it all, but i'm trying.
ok and i was thinking of buying a little jansport backpack for like 18 bucks, i guess i don't really need it, but it might be nice, but if you don't want me to i'll survive. and yeah i bought some abreva cause i had a little cold sore, but it's gone and that little tube should last me forever so that's good. and i haven't heard from gentry forever so yeah if karissa wants to help me out there that'd be great. oh and if i don't see trev for awhile, i still need to get a blessing from him, i'll probably not see him til monday, so if you maybe want to run that by him or have him find me or whatever works that'd be great.
but i think that's about it. not much is going on. just down to the wire here, learning as much as i can. i think i get to email on in-field orientation, and then the saturday the next day we get to wash our clothes one last time, so i'll get another email that day too, so i'll email proabably thursday, friday and saturday next week. hope everyone's doing well!
much love,
elder paskett
