Argentina here I come!!!

For those following the posts, I decided to let everyone know that Michelle was cleared to leave on Thursday October 23rd. On the day she hurt her ankle, she was instructed not to put any weight on her ankle. She was obedient and then the next day started trying to put a little weight on it. When she did, there was sharp pain that really surprised her. She asked an elder to give her a blessing and then on Wed. when she saw the doctor, he told her that he was going to delay her a week. She begged him to let her prove that she could walk. She had been using crutches, but put them down and walked with no limp for the doctor. I asked her if she was gritting her teeth in pain, and she said no! She feels that the blessing and all the prayers helped her heal faster. She called from the airport and was in very good spirits. She is traveling with 6 from the MTC, and one of the elders insists on carrying her duffel bag everywhere for her. The doctor did say that he was going to call the mission president and tell him that Michelle is not to do too much walking for awhile. She hopes that doesn't mean she will get stuck in the office. Anyway, she is now in Argentina. We won't hear from her until her pday, which we don't know when that will be. She will be able to send one email a week to me, and I will send it out to everyone. She can recieve emails from everyone and will probably respond to all emails in the one email she sends to me. Hand written letters can be sent to her and she will respond to those, but we hear that it can take up to a month to get those letters. We will let everyone know if we hear anything different.
