The first picture is with Elder Steel, a buddy from Spokane who is serving way close and the other one is with my new companion Elder Henrique. You asked about my hand, I was super tired on February 3rd and I went to put the garbage outside before going to sleep. I left the keys upstairs in our house and I was just going to throw the garbage over the fence instead but I didn't want it to open up and spill everywhere so I stepped up on this little ledge that the front fence sits on. Imagine a ledge two feet off the ground with a fence on top of it. As I reached my hand over to drop the garbage on the other side, the corner I was standing on broke off, and my hand was over one of the sharp points at the top of the fence to keep people from breaking in and as I fell it cut my hand pretty bad. We went straight to the hospital and I had 20 stitches. I could hear the doctors talking and saying things like "there's the nerve" so it was pretty raunchy and deep. But the good news is, I can move my pinky and I'm fine now. I will have a big scar but I can type with my pinky now and it's totally fine.
This past week was really busy and a good week. We have been walking and walking and walking and teaching and teaching and teaching. I think my favorite part of the whole week was a lesson after lunch at a member’s house. My companion read one scripture and bore a simple testimony about forgiveness and she started crying and said how much she needed that message. It really meant a lot to me to see something so simple. I worry so much about people understanding what I say and what I am trying to communicate, but the Spirit does the work. It was a great reminder to me.
My companion has little mannerisms that remind me of Adam, and it always makes me so happy when he does them. I don't have a ton to write this week. I love you all very much.
Love, Elder Calvert
