Elder Benjamin Andrew fell while playing soccer on P-day Feb. 9th and fractured his ankle. He came home Feb. 15th to have surgery and to recover. He sincerely hopes to return to Argentina or at least be reassigned so he can finish his mission when he has recovered. He had successful surgery on Friday, Feb. 20. The doctor said that everything just clicked and went much faster than he anticipated. He is now in a cast and hopefully will be able to be in a walking boot at his next doctors appointment March 12th. Your faith and prayers in his behalf are greatly appreciated! He has been to the temple and plans to go at least once a week. He has been working on being able to work at the family history center as a service missionary and also will be going out with the elders to do some visits. We are grateful for this time we have been given with him and pray diligently for his swift recovery so that he can continue his great work.
