Baptism

Elise

Moise was baptized (oh, I don't know if i wrote or not, moise is the french form of Moses) on Saturday. Out of all of the people that I have taught, he is probably the one that was most ''ready'' for the gospel, that we didn't do hardly anything. Very easy to teach, very smart. I ended up baptizing him, as well as another person the missionaries in Menontin taught. I think her name was Elise. So, yeah, that was a cool experience.

Stitches

So, I guess that the most exciting thing that happened this last week was that I had to go get stitches. Now, the story behind that isn't very exciting, and just makes me feel stupid, but, oh well. We were walking on the road June 14, and it had rained the other day, so there was water everywhere, like normal. So, we are walking around this giant puddle, and close to the houses on the side of the road. I am looking at the ground mostly, since I don't want to step in water more than necessary. But, someone had this concrete bar thing poking out from the side of their wall, which I conveniently didn't see. (actually, my companion said he didn't see it either, but he is shorter than me, so, you know, it wasn't a problem) So, I ran into that with my head, I think I might have lifted my head up or something just as I was underneath it, I'm not sure. Regardless of exactly what happened, I was left with a big cut on my head. So, I got to make another trip to the clinic/hospital thing that they have here, the same place I went when I had malaria. They put some stitches or staples, or something in my head. So, that is the explanation behind the picture I sent.

They cut my hair to be able to see the cut better, so once I have to take the bandage they put there off, I will have a pretty crazy hair cut. Not sure what I'll do with that. I've got a lot of options, shave my head, wear a hat, deal with weird hair, etc.
