OK, thank you very much for the photos of Victor! I remember him very well now. He was super nice. Victors sweet! so I gots ta get back to him! and we're getting his brother this year? :D and as for the neck picture... well, it didn't come through the email any bigger than the little thumb nail on the attachment thingie thing thing, so, he he he, I can't really see anything except this really colorful lump. :3 ha ha ha! so yeah... you think you could hook me up with a little bit bigger picture this next time? :D but it IS feeling better... part of it Ive discovered is how I sleep. :-/ I got a paper from a super nice sister back in Caguas about relieving neck tension and some stretches that you can do, as well as, like, proper sleeping, with a bunched up pillow under your neck for support and something behind it to lay your head on. so I've been doing that, and at first it was a HUGE relief, and now it's just getting steadily better every day. but then again, it all depends on how I sleep. ha, which... erm... has been kinda going downhill this past week... erm... cause I've been feeling some back pain in the same spot I did with Steve... but it's weird, cause I don't feel any other pain throughout the day. just at night when I sleep. so, since I've been to Santurce, I've upped my daily intake of water to at LEAST a gallon every day. usually I get in about a gallon and a quarter... but I talked to Sister Dewsnup about it, and she said it could possibly be residual healing pain... BUT, it could also be ANOTHER one... *sigh* so I don't know yet. she just said "oh no Elder Bryan... you better drink LOTS of water" ha ha ha, yes. lots... so yeah. dang it. so many problems! WHY?! :'( so basically all I can do at this point is just drink water. update next week? :)
gosh, I guess the people here are just so hard that they choose to look past my dashing good looks and my shining personality. *sigh* ha ha ha! but really though, sometimes it really does have to turn into the whole we just keep talkin'. unfortunately, people just seem to turn their brains off! :'( ha ha ha, you know whats funny? we usually say like TWO things and then ask them a question just so we can keep it brief, right? well the great thing is that they just sit there smiling and shaking their head yes and saying "exacto" (exactly) for like five seconds and then they're like, "wait, what was that?" gosh. people these days. you know what? back in my day, everybody listened to what you had to say. look what this world is coming to *shakes head and grins* oh well. that's life. :D ha ha ha!
oh, no, we don't have any AC in this apartment. even better? it's a metal roof! :D woo! so it gets super hot during the day and then the heat retains itself in our little room. concrete houses just are not the best for insulation, but it's not like we have any other choice, right? but the bed really helps the nights! :D Van Halen - "hot summer nights are the time of the year!" heh heh heh... that's a little out of context... but hey, it works, right? but yeah, you should totally get a new bed. you'll feel AMAZING! it's definitely worth it. and who doesn't want to feel amazing, eh?
oh yay, more showers eh? This'll be fun. that just means that contactin' is going to get 3 kabrillion times more fun! :D we also heard and zone conference yesterday that sister Dewsnup has done some asking around and it's looking like this year is gonna have a pretty active hurricane season. uuuuuii, this is gonna be fun! :D so probably TONS more rain throughout this whole summer. that's crazy that you guys have been getting hail and thunder out there! anything near home or just in the area?
aw darn! Donny didn't just narrowly avoid some rare form of cancer? blah! well, at least he got it burned off. that's what counts. but what the heck is Sebaceous Nevus? O.o ha ha ha! I have NO IDEA what that even means.
BLARG, no... I haven't had the chance to reply to Ehren yet... do you have his address so I can just write him? that's going to be way easier than anything else... that way i can work on it during the week. much more simple.
hey hey hey! that box should be there VERY soon, OK? :P gosh, I only got it sent out on Monday, so you calm down missie. :P
that's very good that you've gotten better at the editing thing. very relieving to know xD but yes. I've still got to have everything sent to the mission office, so If she gets something sent out soon it'll get there before transfers! :D woo! that would be nice. I don't I seem to have lost the ability to really express what I wanna say in English now... blarg! oh wells.
but yeah, it's looking like time is about up... I've gots to get myself some lunch! I'M STARVING! *crazy eyes*
so yes. I LOVE YOU more than I now love to drink water! :D

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.)
