Ouch.


It was very cold and windy in Indiana today, and Ethan's face got chapped as a result.

Tonight after dinner Ethan decided to soothe his chapped cheeks and lips by going into his bathroom, squirting out a few pumps of hand sanitizer, and applying the hand sanitizer (approx. 97% alcohol) directly to his face. Ouch. Judging by the sounds he was making, it must have hurt A LOT.

After a couple of minutes he seemed to be okay. Nevertheless, we sent him to bed tonight with a face slathered in Lubriderm and Vaseline.

Poor Ethan....
He'll have to write a letter to Uncle Charles. Charles is having the same problem in Peru. It is really cold and windy; sometimes the hail blows and stings his face. Charles and his companion walk everywhere, because the missionaries don't drive cars there. Charles cheeks are red and dry.
I'm sure he'd like to hear from Ethan and Andrew and Emma.
