Hey Family! Wow, my sobrino is adorable, i love him already! Bastian
eh? Interesting choice. Very similar to Boston, we will have to be
careful about that. Happy birthday Destin this week and I hope your
birthday was great momma! I cant believe i forgot to wish you happy
birthday last monday! I love you both soooo much!
Rachel- I would LOVE peanut butter and chocolate chips if possible,
and that concealer that you use if possible. But whatever you send I
will love if you cant send those things. oh... also, if you are able
to find a flee collar or powder... my companion and are having a
little bit of a problem with flees, and I heard if you have a flee
collar and put it above your bed, they'll go away. soo... that's
happening. Awesome, right? Gotta love South America.
Okay, so this week, Jose Alvarez was baptized!!!! So my comp and I
were standing in the hall, and everyone was waiting for him to get
changed into his baptismal clothing, and he comes out and he is
wearing this itty bitty swim suit to be baptized... he is 85 years
old. Luckily the Elders were there to help him with the baptismal
clothing, I had to turn away because I was laughing so hard, it was
so funny... there are not words to describe how awesome that moment
was. But then it was a beautiful baptism and he bore his testimony of
the gospel and Jesus Christ. Seeing someone accept the gospel and make
covenants with our Father in heaven makes it all worth it - the flees,
the ceviche, the dogs that chase us, none of that matters when you see
an investigator dressed in white, beaming with a joy that can only
come from the gospel of Jesus Christ, or when a less active family
comes back to church is welcomed with open arms by the ward. I love
it soo much. Any way I am out of time, but life is great, the
mission is great, and the gospel is true. Also, the book of mormon is
bomb.com. the more I read it, the more I realize the truth and power
that it brings. I cant imagen someone reading it, praying about it,
studying it and being able to deny it. I love you all! Give my niece
and nephews hugs and kisses from their aunt who misses them.
