Justin Pace the NYC Missionary

Today is my birthday so I am going to write this whole email dedicated to me from the perspective of a parent. Why? I have nothing better to do while my comp takes his pday nap     Happy Birthday Son  ! It has truly been a blessing watching you through the years. You have grown up to be such a fine young man   The joy that you bring into our home is irreplaceable. We are so proud of you and the person that you have become!  Love, Mom&Dad (Mom & Dad approve this message!)     Thanks mom and dad, that was beautiful, couldn't have said it better myself Anyways our friend Bill is getting baptized next Sunday     Recently I have been listening to the most popular BYU devotionals and most of them happen to be on marriage and dating   but they are funny so I keep listening and every so often there is something that I can relate to my single self out here on the mission. Plus when I get home I will already be an expert  ...

I literally can think of anything that happened this last week before yesterday. The one thing I do remember is that June 3rd was national donut day so we got a free donut with any drink purchased at Dunkin, so I got a chocolate milk. Also since you all have been asking me in your emails. I have officially cut cheese out of my diet. If I've learned anything on my mission it's that you can't eat cheese every meal for 8 months and not expect consequences. It's one of life's harshest realities. It reminds me of the book "If you give a mouse a cookie" but instead "If you give a missionary cheese" One thing leads to another until the missionary has had so much cheese he starts sweating it out. It's like that one episode of the Amazing world of Gumball where Richard starts sweating butter. The gospel is true
