Columbia Bogota MTC, "Ankle Sprain Miracle, Updates by MTC Mission Mom and President"

He is doing great!  In fact, it is miraculous.  The X-Rays are negative for breaks or tendon damage.  He is being very obedient.  I think he was just so relieved that there was no serious damage that after the Xray he was hopping around with a grin on his face.  Last night we started him on some ibuprofen which seemed to do the trick.  He sat through dinner and devotional and slept well and has not needed any since.  I was just in his classroom and he has his ankle elevated on a pillow on a chair and he says he feels great.  He is being obedient with the ice and with the ace bandage.  We should get him moving around by tomorrow.

We are all just thrilled with his positive attitude and with his progress.  He should be able to leave the MTC as scheduled with his group on Tuesday morning.  President Laney, his Mission President, is an ER doctor in his other life, so he will be well cared for.

Love this missionary!  Thanks for sending him to us!

Dear Bro. Horton,

I took this photo of Elder Horton’s two feet about 10 minutes ago. This is truly miraculous.  There is no bruising, the ankle is almost normal-sized, he does not limp.  He is just fine and chomping at the bit to leave on Wednesday morning.

Saludos cordiales,

Pdte. Hansen
