Yesterday I walked up the incline to the
MTC and went to the front desk to find a missionary sister to bring her to the
dental clinic. First time visitors often get lost because we are at the back of
the property under the gym beside a huge storeroom. When I found her we walked
back to the clinic together and chatted about the meaning of her name and her reason
for going on a mission. She told me that she knew her teeth had serious
problems and had decided to go on a P-day to get her tooth extracted, “when it
starts to hurt.” She was grateful that she could visit a dentist while in the
MTC. I helped out Dr. Stewart and kept
smiling and talking through the extraction and filling up of cavities along
that side of her mouth. When I walked her back to the MTC she kept saying,
“Thank you so much. I’m really grateful that you would do this for me.” Then
she gave me a hug and a whispered, “I love you,” as she slipped through the
door.
It was nice that it was raining so no one
was around to see the tears.
I knew she was really thanking Dr. Stewart
for being there for her.
