Hey family,

Another week has gone by, today was transfers.  I got transferred to Lago Tijuana. My companion is Elder Flores, he has 3 months in his mission.  I'm pretty exited to work here with him, he seems really good. I'm sad to leave Mexicali, I really liked it there. On Wednesday was the zone conference and the Christmas dinner thing it was really good, and yes I got your package mom and a package from Grandma and Bobbi.  Thanks so much for everything.  My companion is staying in Mexicali and training a new American. And there are 10 new sister missionaries from the states that came here today.  It's the first time that there has been American sister missionaries here, it will be interesting to see how it goes. There is an elder here from Idaho Falls his name is Elder Tall, his dad is a doctor.   I think you guys know him, he lives in Ammon.  I can't believe Brooke is going to be home tomorrow, or whenever I don't know.  I can't believe how fast the time has gone by, it seems like she just left. I'm gonna miss the ward in Mexicali, there are a lot of good people there, one of our converts Julian received the priesthood on Sunday.  It's been a neat experience watching him and his family progress in the gospel. I finally found a mountain dew this week, I haven't had a mountain dew for 4 months!!

I'm going to skype on Christmas day 25, at around 5 o'clock Tijuana time! Sounds like you had a good week, yes mom I'm warm enough thanks for everything and have a good week!

idk how I packed all my stuff up,  I had to leave some stuff there, and yes we just ride the bus to Tijuana, but its a nice bus, tell Bri hi!,

My apartment is alright, but there isn't a washer so we have to carry our clothes on a bus to a different place to wash.
