NO WAY!!!! *sniff sniff* man, that makes me sooo happy. you don't even know. what got Bryan to take the discussions?! oh my gosh, oh my gosh... what did he say? did he have any questions? but for the baptism thing, what we've been asked to do as missionaries, is to extend the commitment as soon as possible. which usually calls for the first lesson. so that's a little fill in on there... is he reading? is he going to pray? cause that's the only real way that he can KnOw!
speaking of Breanna's kitties. what do they look like? also, did they say anything about that package that Bryan still owes me from back in August, plus my birthday, plus Christmas? cause I'm still waiting. plus, my bestest best friend ever in the world won't even WRITE ME A LETTER! :'( *sigh* I just don't know what even to say. it just kills me inside. (but that doesn't include the fact that he is emailing me, cause I can't email him back. :) )
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! JULIA NUNES WAS IN SEATTLE!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!1111oneoneone!1111!!!!?????questionmark! WHAT!???? why does it work out this way!? Julia! WHY COULDN'T YOU WAIT!? :'( *cries* NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! *sigh* weeeelllll... there's always when I get back, I suppose. *sigh* *dies inside*
ah ha ha ha ha! *triumphant* I HAVE gotten my suit dry cleaned now! :D now, the BIGGER question is when do I get to pick it up from Walmart? TODAY! WOOT! so now... "the deed... is done." so I guess that means that I'm gonna get a different "question of the week" now, right? I better. :P
actually... about my tooth. erm... well... it's kinda looking like I might pretty much have a cavity. maybe one and a half... *sigh* I had an appointment set up this morning... but I forgot my WaMu card... so we had to run back to the apartment and grab it, and by the time we got back, it was an hour later than the appointment was set up for (blarg!) so we had to reschedule it for next week. next Wednesday at 9 to be precise. so.. yes. I actually have a few questions about that. ok. so lets go. um, I don't have any dental plan or coverage, do I? so if not, I probably have to pay for this appointment/surgery/filling or whatever it turns out to be, right? cause the mission doesn't cover dental... so yeah... how am I gonna pay for that? um, I'm thinking it would be really good if I could get myself, maybe, a letter from you guys before next Wednesday with some info about that, cause that would be really spiffy. you know. just some info. stuff like that. info that would be come in handy. maybe some cash in my card to help soften the blow. ;) you know... stuff like that. but especially the info, cause thats good to know.
yeah... I HAVE heard about Haiti... it's horrible. people are running around with machetes killing people for food from the food truck... the entire capitol, and over, from what I understand, 200,000 people dead. and rising every day. it's, uh... its pretty interesting. but yeah, the construction on the houses, was pretty much the worst possible. they didn't really have foundations, and they don't have any building regulations, so they have some houses over there that had like five or six stories that people had built onto their houses. not exactly the SMARTEST thing to do... but yeah... it's pretty horrible over there.
oh, Grandma didn't leave until today... no, yesterday? wow, I thought she left sooner than that!
DAH!I am NOT a problem child, thank you! :P gosh, the LORD chooses where I go and who's my companion. gosh. so maybe I'm their companion to help THEM! actually, now that you mention it... I'm pretty sure that I'm getting so many companions because I'm just that awesome. yeah. that must be it.
NO WAY!!! I got called for JURY DUTY!?!?!? GAH!I've always wanted to do jury duty!! WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN WHILE I'M GONE?! this is HORRIBLE! I feel so cheated.
so, news from me for the week. guess what?! :D exactly.
also, we have an apostle coming this week!!!! WOOT! I just barely found out who it's going to be. David A. Bednar! thats right. and this Saturday we're going to have a missionary conference with him and a Seventy! SWEET! so for Saturday, we're going to have that conference, for both the San Juan east AND west missions, and then on Sunday He's going to be in stake conference here in Caguas!!!!1 YEAH! also... he going to be staying in a hotel here in Caguas... so we're kinda worried that there might be an off chance that he might say "you know what? I'm feeling like checking out the Elders apartment here in Caguas." heh ha ha, however, I highly doubt it. I'm sure he has more important things to do than that. you know. busy people. busy lives. stuff like that. :3
also, I have a question about ties. do you think that you might be able to search around on the imtermet (thats right, the imtermet) to see if there is any... =Van Halen= styled ties? you know, maybe with some stripes? that would just happen to be Red with black and white stripes? or maybe black with red and white stripes? cause you know... I would really like to know if these ties do happen to exist.
also... I seem to have misplaced my superkaraizeeawesome scripture marker... *sigh* I've been looking for it for a while and I just can't seem to find it.
so yes... not much new really this week. we've been doing a LOT of searching fro new investigators. also, I WOULD include a picture of Fernando (FINALLY!) but I forgot my little card reader this week. of course. so yeah... I'll get that sent this next week. ;)
Note: I've gotten a letter from Sister Curtis that,. heh, was ACTUALLY intended for Ehren. sooooo... I'm thinking he may have gotten MINE? I'm not too sure... I'm gonna have to send this back to her, but if you could, ask her about that. :)
also.... just another also, I guess. would you happen to have any scripture mastery cards lying around? :)
so yeah... I guess that's the most of it... yup. I can't think of anything else to go with, so I'll go with this :)
so, once again, Thank you for being the most awesomest mommy EVER!
I Love you ALL!!!!!! especially all the people that sent me presents. I'm sending out one more shout out to them :)

Mark 1:4 and 9
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
Christ was not baptized for the remission of sins because he had none. But, as Nephi recounts, he was baptized for the following reasons:
(1) As a token of humility before the Father;
(2) As a covenant that he would keep the commandments;
(3) As a prelude to receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost;
(4) To gain entrance to and be saved in the kingdom of God, for no one, not even the Son of God, can so obtain without baptism; and
(5) As a pattern and an example for all men, and so that he could say: “Follow thou me” and also, “He that is baptized in my name, to him will the Father give the Holy Ghost, like unto me; wherefore, follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do.” (See 2 Ne. 31:5–12.)
