hey mom and dad I am going to be honest, I am so freaking tired and dont really have much ganas to write. I have had one of the most emotionally draining days of my whole life. I will explain now. We were all playing soccer at the church and as we were playing all of a sudden one of the district leaders all of a sudden fell and busted his ankle. I couldnt believe it!! It was messed up!!! His foot took a full 90 degree angle. It was a very bad fracture. All of the missionaries started to freak out when they saw it. I was like freak shut up you are making him even more scared. I then took him and made sure he stayed down on the ground and told them to elevate his foot. Elder Demann a good and smart missionary who can hold his head was already on the phone as I told him to call an ambulance. Me and another elder gave him a blessing right away and then we put a sweater under his head and we got him some water and we started talking to him right away so he wouldnt go into shock. Got him covered with some clothes and waited for the ambulance. It got there and they put him in and I got in with him and we went to the hospital of talca. We get in and they start off really well. They get him in and get him an x ray right away and then they bring him into the emergency room and we are then there for like an hour waiting. They then kick me out of the room or place where he was and make me go to the waiting room. we got in to the hospital around 12:45 ish.... around 3:45 with out being attended is when I am really upset now. I am like this is ridiculous!!! You need to attend him and you need to tell us right now if this doctor is going to come or not! Then they said we all had to leave the waiting room and go outside. I wasnt happy either about that. I then start callling around so we can get him out of this hell of a hospital and finally get a hold of a place where he could go and they said they would send an ambulance to look for him. Well they never called me back like they told me they were going to so all of a sudden around 4:25 ish I am saying let me in because we had called a member and we were going to personally take him to the hospital. I was not happy but calm at this point and then as I am about to walk in past the guards I see that the other hospital has him on a table brining him out to go to the other clinic. I was so happy!!! We get in the ambulance and we go over there right away! We get there around 4:40 ish. They call the doctor and within 40 or 45 minutes they did the tests and they did examines and they had the doctor consult and had fixed the foot! They did what the other Hospital with 150 ish people did in 1/4 of the time with 1/5 amount of people. For the first time in like 5 hours or 6 hours Elder Cabellero rested and wasnt shaking from pain. He is a strong man mind you, he is 25 from argentina and is just a tank and was just shaking from pain even after the hospital gave him morphine 2 times and other drugs.... It was ridiculous!!!!!! I was not to happy and I was alone all day too. Not happy about that either. So yeah that is why I am writing so late. I am sorry I couldnt write.
think that that is all I am going to write. I am doing well! :) It was a great week and we are going to have 3 baptisms this week. woot woot. we are working hard and having success. Hope all is well I loveyou all!!! Thanks for everything.
Love,
Elder Brown
