Dear Sister Molnar,
There is something about a new pair of
shoes, that just causes problems with some Elder's toes. ; ) We are
very familiar with ingrown toenail problems here in the QCNM. I will
look at it when he arrives and give him some advice. Some of our Elders
can avoid having the nail removed with a little TLC and some time, but
we have seen about 6 toenails removed since we arrived a year ago.
Thankfully, we have access to a credible hospital that is located very
near the mission home. They call in a "surgeon," who uses "clean"
instruments and local anesthesia to remove the nail. They are given
antibiotics and some Tylenol for pain.
It is my hope that we can avoid the surgery if at all possible, as
it does slow down their ability to work for a good week, but I wanted
you to be aware that we do have other viable options available to us if
it becomes necessary. Thank you for the "heads up."
We are excited to meet Elder Molnar and the rest of his batch
tomorrow morning. Because of flight scheduling, they will arrive at the
mission home a day before our regular transfer meeting. We will feed
them, and President Sperry will do his initial
interview with them. At that time we will send them to stay with the
Office Elders and Assistants for the night, as we will have our "exiting
missionaries" staying here at the mission home for their last night in
the mission. They will be transported back to the mission home for
breakfast on Thursday, and at that time we will orient them, take
pictures, and transport them to the chapel where we will hold our
transfer meeting. It is here that they will be introduced to their
trainers and meet many other missionaries serving here in the Quezon
City North Mission.
We will do our best to help him have a good experience as a full-time missionary for the Lord. We will appreciate any prayers you can offer in our behalf along with your newly arriving missionary
Sincerely,
Sister Sperry
