That's exciting to hear about Kara's baby.

I am being transferred to Temecula. The richest place in the whole mission. For example, there are Elders who live there that live in the guest house of a mansion. It will be my responsibility to hunt down the Spanish people as they are cleaning houses and doing yardwork on the rich Temecula houses. I will be with Elder Thatcher. He is pretty new in the mission.

As a going away present Anabella bought me a backpack, because mine was all ripped. I feel satisfied with the work that I did here in Jurupa. A lot of the people in the branch seemed appreciative of the work that I had done there. Time to go somewhere else and do it all over again.

Wow. Kara sent me a picture and she is big. (Her baby is due in one week.) I just came back from Little Ceaser's and I ate the whole pizza, so I expect I'll look like her pretty soon.

We found a cool new family this week, they speak English perfectly but prefer Spanish, which is the best. Since Alejandra is baptized now we have been trying to find some new investigators, because all we have now is Anabella and Erasmo. Things are a little slow, but good.
I can't really think of anything else.

Yes, I got the package. I ate all the slim jims, not all the candy though. I wouldn't want to get fat.

Alejandra got baptized Saturday and all three (with her 2 children) were confirmed Sunday. I could not stop thinking about her baptism all day Saturday, probably because we tracked all day and had nothing else to think about. I love visiting that family, too bad now that they are baptized we won't get/need to visit them quite as much. I'll send some pictures of the baptism.

Anabella and Erasmo came to church and are completely ready for baptism. They just don't feel like they know enough/ aren't ready to go against their family. So that's who we are working with now.
I'll probably only be here another 3 weeks and then go to another area. This so far has been my favorite.
