It was very amusing to see people's reaction to my condition today. Everyone was sensitive and kind, but some people knew that I would be having this surgery before it happened, and some didn't. And I think a lot of the teenagers hadn't seen the results of oral surgery before, so I think I got some odd looks.
My former bishop's wife pretended to hit me in the jaw, but I told her I wasn't allowed to box for six months (good thing I asked, huh?). So she said that the match is at her place around Thanksgiving. I like her.
I actually felt great the whole time, and of course, I'm much less swollen than I was a few days ago. So everybody's shocked reaction to how incredibly swollen I was turned out to be pretty funny.
I think it shocked just about everyone to have me in class without commenting on hardly anything. I did write a comment on the chalkboard during elders' quorum today.
Even though I didn't get to say very much, I was struck by how much the ward (congregation) really resembles a big family. We're all in it together. I felt like everybody's brother or nephew or the like while I was there.
