Hahaha you make me laugh! I am taking pictures, don´t worry! I have them all on my picture card and will be sending it to you when it gets full! So you´ll have plenty of photos. I don´t carry my camera everywhere with me because I don´t want it to get stolen, so I only carry it when I know I´m going to take a picture or something! But don´t worry, you´ll have plenty of pictures in the future! :)
And Dad actually got the motorcycle huh? That is awesome! I bet the boys will have a lot of fun with it! I can already picture Dave on the motorcycle with his hair blowing in the wind. Oh yeah!! And Jac won´t even get on? hahaha that is so funny! At least you don´t have to worry about her then! Are you going to ride it too?

As of last week, all of my roommates are out on their missions! Ammon and I are in the field already and Nate, Tre, Will, and Max are all in the MTC! That is so awesome! And I seriously can´t believe that Kat will be in the Philippines in 2 weeks! Crazy
The work here is going great! We are such a studly companionship and we work well together. We have our problems here and there because we are both alpha males (but baddd) and we are both stubborn. So there have been a few...loud moments if you kow what I mean. But we are doing great and we are loving every second of our time together. We have another baptism this week!! His name is Sergio and he is 13. He is a friend of a new convert family and he loves to meet with us. We are going to have his baptism on Friday, so expect more pictures next week! :) I love what I am doing!!!
There is a quote that I love by President Eyring: Yo creo con todo mi corazón que Dios está por bendecirnos. Dios hará el gran milagro si pagamos el precio. Los milagros no ocurren porque Dios quiere sino porque nosotros hemos hecho nuestra parte. Dad, you can translate for them :) I know that God wants to bless us. He has so much in store for us if we just obey His commandments and do what He asks! Obedience is such a huge part of the gospel. I am learning that obedience to the laws of God bring blessings. Some are immediate, some are in the future. But I have been so blessed these last few weeks here with people who are ready to accept the gospel!
Yes, I have finalized my Christmas list. Short and sweet. I want 6-8 new, paisley, SUPER bright and vibrant ties. That is my biggest desire. Second, I would love if you could send ¨Mormon Doctrine¨ by Bruce R. McConkie. I don´t know how much that will cost to mail though. So if you could put it on a flash drive or something that would work great. Otherwise, just mail me the book. Third, could you send me another camera card? Like 4 gigs or 8 gigs, whatever you choose works so you can have more pictures :) That is it. Not a lot. I have everything I need! Thanks for everything! I love you all!
Your son and brother,
Elder Michael Biggs
This is Ammon's sister, Leah. I just wanted the Biggs family to know that I got to know Mike and all the roommates whenever I'd come to visit Ammon at their dorm. And what a great group of young men they were! Thanks so much for raising a sweet son who is such a good friend to my brother. It's cool to see they're still supporting each other across different parts of the world. Ammon and Nate both have mission blogs as well. If you'd like to see them, here are the sites.
