Hold Still Elder Sanders

Elder Sanders texted me on P-day to say that his ear was plugged and had been for a couple of days. We suggested he come to Cauayan and see an ENT, which was recommended by a member. When he got to the office the doctor specialized in uterine cancer--certainly not what he needed. But that clinic told him about an ENT down the street. That doctor wasn't in Cauayan until Saturday so he came to the mission home. Both Elder Bean, his companion, and Elder Moffat have had problems with plugged ears and had doctors flush them out but putting water into the ear canal. Elder Moffat offered to try it and Elder Sanders was willing. So we got a syringe and removed the needle. Elder Moffat shot warm water into his ear and out popped a couple of hunks of wax.

Last I heard, his ear is doing just fine. I think we all will feel better when our Mission Nurse arrives in mid January! (Elder and Sister Larson from Silverton, OR are due to arrive in mid January and we all can't wait!)
