Sorry it has taken so long to write you back. Things have been really busy getting ready for our trip. We had to set things up for our kids at the hospital... the missionaries are all going to take turns going and visiting our kids... anyways, we have been showing them around the hospital, and we went shopping yesterday and bought over a thousand diapers. that should last us till me are done, hopefully, lots and lots of wet wipes, and food for Marius. his aunt left to go back to the US, so we are completely in charge of him and are taking care of him. he is doing really well.. i have actually been seeing him a lot lately.. his looks don't even phase me anymore... he is the burn victim that is getting surgery in california... remember him.. anyways, the other day we were so happy to see him because when we got there he was wearing a shirt!!! it was cool.
anyways, sorry if i've been dramatic, i dunno why it was getting me so down. but today i had a really cool experience with my kids at the orphanage, that confirmed to me that i am supposed to be here and that these kids really do need me, specifically. o mom, i love them so much. thanks for supporting me and helping me. it really means so so much. i am not too sure what the fall will be like either, but i guess we will find out once know if i got into the nursing program. secondly, you should not feel bad at all about the situation. you and dad have already done so much for us kids, it is about time we get up and do more.
so... have you ever heard of scabies? yep, they are no good. can you please schedule an appointment for me to get a physical the day after i get home? thanks.
o and guess what?! you know all those jobs i applied for at the hospital in provo? guess who is in charge of doing the hiring! elisa's mom!! anyways, elisa told me that she will for sure hire me and that means i can get into the IHC program if byu doesn't work out. sweet stuff huh?
o, here is a story i want to share with you. do you know florine? the orphan in the wheel chair at the hospital. well i used to love him... well i still do but i don't like him. anyways yesterday i had sora betham with me and i was showing her the hospital and we were with florine and my adorable marion ( the kidney boy) and this other doll face girl mirella. we took them outside, but before we went outside i told florine we could only be outside for an hour because marius wanted to go outside too. (there is only one wheel chair so they have to share it) so we went out and were playing with them and florine kept throwing the ball really far so i had to run and get it and i told him if he didn't stop he couldn't play and he took the ball and threw it down this hill into the back yard of this gypsy village because he was mad. (o and p.s i took a special trip to the grocery store to buy him his favorite candy and gave it to him when i first saw him). anyways he threw the ball on purpose and i told him that was rude and he said sorry and then asked if i would push him to the store. i told him if he promised to be nice from now on we would go. so we went to the store and got some juice for him and i got little candies for marion and mirella, and then it was time to go upstairs. on the way up florine started throwing a fit saying he hated marius because he was ugly and looked like a monster and he wasn't going to get out of the chair. he was making a huge scene in front of everyone and poor sora betham is so sweet she didn't know what to do. i pushed him back into his room where he continued to throw a fit and the moms in the room butted in and started getting mad at him, but he still wouldn't get out of his chair. then a nurse came in and asked what was going on, and florine told her that he wasn't getting out of the chair because i wouldn't get him a balloon. she told me to give him a balloon, i did, and he moved to his bed, and as soon as the nurse turned around he threw the balloon on the floor!!!!!! what a pill!!! i was so so mad. i told him i was never coming back, and he acted like he didn't even care. after i had done so much for him and stuck up for him and cared about him.. seriously.. i know he grew up in an orphanage, but there is no justification for being rude, ever, period. with that in mind, i will go back to see him, and i will not be rude to him, but i will not take him outside anymore, or bring him candy... just diapers. anyways, it made me think about my life and i sure hope that i never made you feel the way that florine made me feel. and if i did i am so so so so so so sorry.
alright, well... i am off to work again. thanks again for everything. i leave for hungary tomorrow night, and get there around noon the next day.. i dont think i will have internet so you may not hear from me for a week or so... do not worry though we will be safe! we know missionaries in hungary, and the moldova boys will be with us in krakow so we will be fine.
also, i just decided i am going to copy paste most of this letter into my blog b/c i don't feel like writing more stuff... okay have a wonderful day!
love you so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sooooooo much!
