Things are going fine. No need to worry. Haha I imagine that
would've scared you a little bit. But also, Mimi's son is studying
medicine and has almost finished and he helped a lot in the diagnosis
and we just didn't have minutes to call the nurses and I was just
DYING... But now things are much better. Sister Bautista did scold me
pretty well. And we had a meeting on Tuesday with President and I think
that he was talking with somebody fro Salt Lake to see what needed to be
done with me medically. Haha so you did stir up quite a comotion.
However, it's nice to know I am loved.
Oh my heck, Bryson gets home tomorrow!?!?! That is
so crazy. I would love to see that kid. Jacolby Griffin and Elder Vaughn
are going home in five weeks. That's gonna be pretty crazy. Did I tell
you that Elder Vaughn is in my zone? It has been nice to have him for a
friend here in the mission. Especially because he helped me through the
first few months of my mission. I have been constantly at 190
centimeters everyweek that I check. If that is true, I am a happy man.
You lucky fools! Going to New York and DC and Philly without me!? What
is up with this!? Haha That sounds like a trip of a lifetime. I would
love to go. To say the least, I am super jealous.
Those Halloween pictures look so cute. I am loving
them. Laker is HUGE. And he looks a ton like Dave, too. I cannot believe
how big they are. This is the last Thanksgiving that I will miss in my
mission. Here in Huehue, there is a member that has lived in the states a
while and is going to do a Thanksgiving dinner for the missionaries
here in Huehue. He has a restaurant and he makes some really good food.
Like he can make the sweet pork burritos from Cafe Rio. I am really
excited for Thanksgiving here with Enrique. For Christmas stuff, I think
that I wouldn't go over a hundred. If it's possible, that would be
wonderful.
This week has been pretty great. We talked with
Byron and he is super willing to get baptized and to do everything. He
has had a really tough life. Let's just say that about a year ago, he
tried to get to the States and got stopped by the drug lords in Mexico.
He was with them for 4 months and then got out. What he went through
seems like a concentration camp, honestly. It has scarred him. He just
wants to forget about it and find peace. It is a pretty sweet story that
he's got. He told us that when he was with the narcos, he promised to
God that he was going to look for a church once he got back to his
country. Now, through some members, he has found what he likes. He loves
the church and is on his way to having a better life.
We also have kept working with Claudia. She is
awesome! We taught her one time about the Word of Wisdom and she stopped
drinking, stopped going to places where she knew that she could've
drunk, and has stopped drinking coffee. It has been really sweet because
she says that those things just seem gross to her now, and she is
loving life. It has just been kinda tough to get her to church because
she doesn't have a lot of friends in our ward. She has been surrounded
my Mormons lately, but she hasn't met a lot of members in our ward. She
is so great! I love to see the changes that she is making in her life.
Yesterday, we talked about the day of rest and she accepted everything.
I love Jesus Christ and I know that he has got the
power to help us to overcome anything in our lives. I am seeing it in
others and in my own life. I am so greatful for my mission. Love you a
ton mom.
Love,
