Hey Mom,
The chiropractor gave me some news that
wasn't the best. Apparently, something is off in my spine, so I have an
appointment with him in about a month to figure it all out. I will be
meeting with him until the end of the mission so I can go home with a
back that is 100%! Dang! So, Dad is heading down to Uruguay huh? Neat.
JP's baptism was nothing short of AWESOME! The Spirit was there and I
couldn't get enough of it. They asked me to go up there and share my
testimony and I was just fighting to not be overcome with emotion. The
Zavala family don't live in our area, but they invite us over for lunch
and what not, all the time. I love hanging with them and we are going to
meet at a local Mexican joint for lunch this Wednesday. JP and I are
real close and seeing him go into the water (which was FREEZING COLD and draining so they had to do it fast) was awesome. It was a tender moment sharing my
testimony. In the past month, 2 of the Zavala's cousins have been
baptized. It's just miraculous seeing their family get closer and
strengthened throughout their journey. Afterwards, they ordered pizza
and we went over to their place for dinner. It was a LOT of fun. We were
all just shooting the breeze, sharing bilingual jokes (Dad's joke was
the favorite) and had a contest on which missionary could eat the most
pizza. I got 2nd place (7 slices), Elder Ruiz ,a previous companion, ate
10 (the guy is a bottomless PIT)!
I love you all so much and there is not much more to talk about. I'm sure next week I will have something big to talk about. I love you mom and miss you too.
