Mom, Dad, Broseph, Dave, Jac, and my dear Sister in the MTC,
How are we?!?! ¿Cómo estamos? I am doing fantastic!!! We have two baptisms officially planned for September, with a really good possibility of more, so we are excited to see the fruits of our labors! I´m glad to hear that Katherine is doing well in the MTC and loving it. Of course Dave and Jac love school. I´m excited for Jac to be starting Pre-School and Dave in Kindergarten. I can still remember little snippets of my kindergarten experience. Great :) Chris, I´m glad to hear that you are enjoying school and tearing it up. Continue that trend, and email me of any stories that you have! (you know what I´m talking about, heheh) Mom, thanks for the little email. I´m pretty sure that you just send the box through the USPS. Not anything else because they say it won´t get here. So just send a box through them. If you have any more questions, let me know and i´ll ask. Dad, thanks for your advice. I really appreciate it!!
The work is progressing and we are finding better investigators and thinning out our numbers of bad ones, which is really good. It takes a lot of work!! But, I love it anyway. Eliseo is ready to be baptized, but we have to wait until the 10 of September to baptize him because of some stake primary activity on Saturday! Ah, we weren´t very happy but the bishop made us wait until the 10. But, that´s ok. I am enjoying all the time I have teaching investigators. There are so many funny stories that I could tell, but there is never enough time. So I write down in my journal little pieces to remember for when I come home to tell all of you!
There isn´t a lot to report on this week. Mom, I had Carpincho on Thursday (carpincho looks like the ROUS in the movie Princess Bride) and it was... ok. Haha. The meat was ok but there was a layer of straight up fat, and you all know how I feel about fat on my meat. Nevertheless, I ate it anyway. I´m figuring out ways to force food down and I am basically a garbage disposal. If you put something on my plate, you don´t get it back! You´ll be happy to hear that I know voluntarily eat tomatoes AND onions! Yes, alert the media that I like those two foods now!! My companion and I are low on money, I mean WAY low, so we put together everything that we had for lunch today: eggs, milanesa, rice with veggies, mashed potatoes, peaches, and bread with Dulce de Leche. We are getting really good at cooking up meals with the most random stuff. I feel like a real chef. Ok, not really but at least I can survive! Life in the mission field keeps plowing on at an unbelievably fast rate! It feels like last week that I got into the MTC!
I really appreciate all of the love and support and prayers! Thank you so much. When the drunk on the corner tries to pick a fight with us, I can feel the guidance and prayers helping to keep me calm. I´d be lying if I admitted that I haven´t wanted to fight a few people, but I have always been calm and smiled my way through it, so be proud of me :) I love you all so much! ¡Que les vaya bien!
Love, your son and warrior,
Elder Michael Biggs
