We don't exactly know what happened to *A*'s nose. It happened at church during Primary...right in the middle of the opening prayer. Apparently *A* was fine before the prayer and was sitting next to *P*. After the prayer, she was on the floor whimpering. No one knows what happened (that's a good sign that all the kids kept their eyes shut during the prayer though!). They thought *A* was just sad because she was supposed to say the prayer that day and they had accidently asked 2 kids the week before. When the primary president went over to talk to her she saw blood--and a lot of it! She freaked out and ran to find me, but I was teaching my marriage class and we were right in the middle of our opening prayer as well (and let me tell ya, Filipino prayers are LONG!). So she found *B*. After the prayer was done *P* came running into my room yelling, "EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, there's an EMERGENCY with *A*!!" It was quite the Sunday, let me tell ya!
*B* ended up taking *A* home while I stayed to teach. After church he told me that he cleaned her cut out with rubbing alcohol because he was so worried about the germs at church! OUCH!!! The church really is not clean though! Sad, but true. We try to avoid the bathrooms at all costs...especially since there was a rat in the toilet one Sunday!*A* was okay though, and once we got it cleaned off we realized that it probably didn't need stitches. So luckily for us, we don't have to experience a Filipino hospital yet! :o) I'm sure that day will come soon enough though!
