Another ingrown toenail...

Before we catch up with the rest of Janie, Daniel, Katie, and Heidi's visit, and also put some photos in from our last week's mission health visit to the Argentina Cordoba Mission...here's what's going on this morning in the area office...
We are so sad for this Elder who has had about 4 ingrown toenails during the year we have been here. He came in this morning to have it taken care of....again. Ouch!
He's happy to have it taken care of so he can walk again without pain.
Monday morning, back at the area office, and two young Elders from the Argentina Buenos Aires West Mission who came to visit us. After the infected toenail is taken care of, the Oreos also help bring smiles. Plus these Elders got about 5 big spoonfuls of peanut butter in a plastic baggie to each make a peanut butter sandwich from for their lunch today on their P-day.
Peanut butter is hardly ever in the stores here...and when it is, it costs $8 USD for the smallest size jar!
We're thankful for Janie bringing us 3 big jars of it...one of which we've given to Jose' in the area office for all his expertise in helping Walt and Daniel know how to buy their tickets for the big soccer playoff game between Argentina and Peru for Oct. 10 when they were here.
Jose' was also their guide in getting them to the game, and what to be careful of going and coming to the stadium.

Isn't it funny what you miss. My friend is adopting 2 children from Haiti. Every time she goes to visit (so far it's been a 2 year process) she takes peanut butter and the kids just swarm around her when she opens it! Sure do miss you!

Sisiter Petersen,
Thank you for posting my son's picture (Elder Rogers)It was fun to see how he has changed. I hope you have the very best time with your family there with you. And again thank you for all you and Dr. Petersen do for the many missionaries in that part of the world :-)

Kira and I took peanut butter for the elders and hermana's and then when Kirk came for the wedding he packe more.
The only thing I like peanut butter for is for cookies...
