Hey,

Thanks for the info! This will have to be a short email cause it took a while to make the email for the doc and make sure i had the correct info. I gave them your phone numbers and email and said to call you before they sent it and to mention if there is a fee involved. The place is called Bahri Orthopedics and the number is 904-739-0050. I also received a bill in the mail from them for $500. I believe the insurance will cover it but its weird they sent me a bill. I will call them today and make sure it gets sent there.

This week was great! We had a miracle baptism on sunday! His name is Chris and is 15. His family was baptized 5 months ago and have faithfully attended church but he would never go. He was almost "anti-mormon" and would usually avoid us when we came by. Then last week he had a dream and felt like Christ would be coming soon so the next day he decided to read the Book of Mormon and pray and he felt the Spirit confirm that it was true and really felt like he should go to our class on tuesday night. ELder Brown was supposed to teach but had to pick someone up and asked me to teach at the last minute. Luckily i had my study journal and taught about desire and how we can reach our spiritual and temporal goals through the level of our desire and our actions and also related it to eternal families. He said that he really enjoyed it and i think learned more from it than any of the adults did. A while after the class a sister missionary felt inspired to talk to him and ended up inviting him to be baptized and he accepted. When he told his family that night they didnt believe him at first but then he sat down by his dad and said, "I've prayed about the Book of Mormon and i know that this is the ture church. I want to live with you and our family forever." We taught him every day this week and he was baptized on sunday. His father spoke and was crying as he told the story and what chris had told him. It was amazing to see such joy in their family as their son joined them in the gospel.

This week we had our last zone conference with Pres. Newman which was really good of course. He showed a slide show afterwards and then he met with each of us individually and gave us each a blessing. It was a really neat experience. He blessed me that the increase in my ability to speak spanish in the next month will be remarkable to the spanish people here and even myself. It was a powerful promise. Guess i better get to work! He leaves on the 29th and Pres. Barry arrives.

As far as my birthday im really not sure... I forgot to look at your letter again mom with your ideas. There were a couple good ones but i cant remember. I do need some multivitamins though. Gift cards to restaurants or stores are always good, or money. I dont really need much. Dont send too many items or bulky things cause i dont think ill have room to pack much more stuff around. Dont send any fast food gift cards though cause im trying to eat healthier. Ill try to email during the week with any other ideas. i gotta go!

Love,

Elder Carty
