Bad Night

"I have been so lucky and healthy throughout all my mission and finally, 8 months 24 days and 3 hours since I was set apart, for the first time in my mission.... after eating all sorts of things and everything, I was sick!!! I was sooo mad haha.. I fell asleep fine, and woke up at midnight and didn't feel too good. I knew I had to throw up, but I couldn't, and finally at 3 in the morning, ohhh booyyy. Then I couldn't sleep all the night and ya.. I was bad all Thursday, but we still worked. I rested a bit and I got a blessing, and I am fine, perfectly fine.. It was the 24 hour flu and now I'm fine..."

"Mom, no worries about me. During my agony in that night, I thought.. "Man, how nice it would be to have my mom here to comfort me and take care of me", haha... Even though I have (am) 20 years old, I still think about you taking care of me. I love you Mom..."

Odds & Ends...............

Mom - Pray for me, better yet, pray for the Familias Gomez and Vasquez. They're familias that are struggling. I love you mom... I wouldn't have it any other way.. I love you...

Dad - I'm glad you had a good week.. and boy let me tell you.. I sure do remember that 4 wheeler.. haha, I loved it, and now Treyson and Tagg will use it, and my kids, when I have kids... this life is sure short, don't ya think? ... Things pass, and people grow up so fast, where does it all go? It makes me think alot... I love you dad... be safe.. and remember.. your Father in heaven loves you.. and he is there for you. I love you dad....

Elder Flores - He is a really good comp..... he is a good missionary with a good attitude.. works hard and teaches a lot.. it's really good.. it's going really well with him.. we're pals..

Melt Mom's Heart

"Mom, thank you so much for all your words. I can't express how much I love my family. I have learned so much on my mission. I love this. I have grown to know what I missed before my mission, and now I will not miss it anymore. Thank you for your words mom, and mom, I do know what I mean to you. I think about it everyday. I know, because you and dad and our family mean the same to me. I love you."
