July 14, 2013


Hey everyone,
I can't believe I got a letter today from all my brothers and sisters!! Well, except Kristi... It meant so much to my to be able to hear from all of you and know that you are thinking about me, even if dad encouraged you to start thinking about me... I love you guys so much and its a bummer that I couldn't be there to sweat balls with you guys in Vegas. Well, bummer for you. Thanks so much your all the pictures too. Now I am just thinking about why I am the only fat, ugly one in the family. I guess every family has to have a mascot... haha I did just want to let everyone know that I am really proud of my sister Amy. That is pretty rad that she took the initiative and stood up for what she believed in that meeting. That is what we all need to be doing. We need to have the courage to stand up for the gospel and not be afraid to tell others what we know. And we need to have faith sufficient to know that we will be helped when we do. Anyways, last week was pretty good but really painful. On monday I woke up with a big sore in my arm pit that just kept getting bigger. I finally found out that it was a "pigsa", well thats what it is in Tagalog. I think its a boil in english. Ill try to put a pic of it in drop box. My companion is a pansy so I had to do surgery on it myself. I took a pretty sweet video but its definitely not appropriate to put on the internet so you"ll just have to wait. Other than that, the week was pretty standard missionary work although we did have another miracle at church on sunday. Eleven of our fifteen investigators came to church and our sunday school lesson was so awesome. The spirit was so strong there. We also had a baptism on saturday but we were pretty bummed because one of our investigators pulled out because her mom in manila doesn't want her to join the "mormon church". That's alright though, there is still time for her. The baptism was at the beach and it was pretty hard because it was low tide, we had to walk about 400 yrds out into the water because it was so shallow, at least in was quiet. Congrats Kristi on your incoming baby girl, and on selling Reno. I am glad that you are all doing so well and I know that the Lord is blessing your lives. What mom said is so true, obedience and sacrifice brings power. Lets all sacrifice a little more to help the Lord hasten His work and we will be given the Power to become great instraments in His hands. I love you guys, and miss you so much. Till next week
Much Love
