We were admitted into the Capiz Doctors Hospital
My Star Family:
Hey what’s up? This has been a fairly lousy week to be honest. So Monday, Elder Price's foot was killing him and them Tuesday we all had a meeting in the morning at 8. The whole time during the meeting his foot started dispewing liquid, like puss and blood. We called Sister Pagaduan and she said that we had to go to the hospital. When we got to the hospital, the doctor said we needed to immediately get an IV in him with antibiotics which would require us to sleep there for two nights. If we did not do that, the infection would spread and possibly cause further complications. So we were admitted into the 'Capiz Doctors Hospital' from Tuesday-Thursday night which means that no work at all got done in our area. It was boring but it was ok. Elder Price and I sat there for hours and talked, studied, wrote letters (with permission) and slept haha. The bed I slept on was tiny and uncomfortable but oh well. We had air-con which was a bonus. His foot now is okay looking. He still can’t really walk so I don’t know what will happen this week. We will see. On a better note, we had the baptism of R. A. (H. was not able to be baptized due to some uncleared things that we are working on) but it went well and I baptized her.
I am excited to see general conference. It is a completely different experience when you are on a mission, way better haha. Plus we might have a couple investigators/recent converts there to watch. The only thing is that it is in English, so they won’t understand like 95% of it, haha oh well. Last night we had a member feed us and it was so good. She cooked shrimp, bihon and some other things that were good. We are trying to build good relationships with our members here. Regarding the food Mom, I like it when they cook for us to be honest. It feels like they really care. But cook a few things so they have an option. For example when people cook us fish, I hate it, but since it is the only thing there I have to eat it or look like a jerk. Don’t stress about it though. We are 20 year olds and will eat practically anything. Thanks for feeding the missionaries though. That is awesome!
The storm did not really affect us. It did hit here a little but since we were in the hospital it was okay. No homes or anything were affected I don’t think. All is well here. That is funny about a Garrett Christensen getting arrested haha I bet people think it is me. Anyway, things are going well and we will continue to do our best with Elder Price's foot. My tooth feels great. No pain at all!
I love you all!

Hey Papa:
Things here are going well. I am happy and healthy. My companion isn’t though haha. We were in a little bit of a sketchy hospital but it all went well. That’s too bad to hear about the Red Sox and the AL East. Also sad to hear the Utes lost. That is crazy about Nate. I am exactly one year behind him. I am sure he is freaking out right now haha about to go home. I am sure it will be cool when you are close to go home but it will be a weird feeling. I am glad to have plenty of time left. That is cool that you found some bucks, bulls for you guys. I bet Breck will love it to see some Elk. Thanks a lot for the scores on sports and for keeping me updated. I hope you get more time this week to go hunting. Love you and miss you lots!

Hey Britt:
