Well, check this out. I was called Monday night by Elder Putnam, now my zone leader :), and he told me that the mission doctors would be here in the area today. Well, I'm in the mission office now, and after waiting from 8 till now, I can finally REALLY start my P-day. Not that I can really do anything cause I'm stuck in the office until I finish and then I have to travel all the way back... :-/ *sigh* yeah. It’s great. I hope I get to do laundry today. That would be wonderful. However, after talking to Elder Kilgore about my kidney... nothin. he's doesn't have a single Idea about why my kidney could be bothering me still... so he's gonna have a meeting at the end of the day where he's going to present all the info about all the missionaries and He'll talk with Sister Alvarado and some of the other Doctors to see what’s going on... whoot. I'm o excited. Maybe it's a mental thing. I dunno. you know what? it's probably cancer.
But YES! It was GREAT to get to talk to you guys on Sunday. I always feel more energized. :)
So... I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get my package sent out today... I have it all just about packed up... but I don't know if I'm gonna make it back to Ponce in time before the post office closes. I'm going to rush it. There’s a chance that they WON'T close early today (because they're LAZY >:( ) but We'll see. I'm sorry...
So, for transfers here, rapidity since I don't have very much time, transfers aren't the most exciting... :-/ only the people getting transferred go, and all we really do is meet up with our new comp, and if we're lucky the zone leaders with have a quick plan presentation on things that are going on in the zone. That’s pretty much it. :-/
Yeah, finding out why they've been charging my account for a monthly service account would be nice. :P that way they can stop stealing all of my shinies!
Hey, I FINALLY got an email back from Bryan, but he didn't tell me if he bought me my PAX tix! >:( grr, angry. Did you ask him when he came over?
Hey, get this. I just heard from a sister that the writers of South Park made a Broadway show about the Book of Mormon. Excellent. *sarcasm*. .. Her mom told her that it was Raunchy and horrible and even worse, it’s been nominated for Tony awards.
Poop. Ok, I'm gonna have to cut this short cause we don't have very much time... but, I’ll write more next week? :)
I love you more than I love not knowing what’s going on with my kidney. :)

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.)
