Hey family,

This week was good, nothing too exiting happened, I'm still alive down here.  I went on exchanges with Elder Peck yesterday and his sector is called Otay, it is right on the border. We were walking along the border fence, its just a normal fence with barbed wire on top but there's a bunch of border control sitting up on the hill watching all day long.  It was pretty interesting to see how things really are here on the border. We actually live really close to the border, about a five minute drive. Mom,  was trying to think of an experience to share with you from this week but the only one I thought of was when we were waiting for the bus the other day, a dog was trying to cross the street to come over to us and got hit by a car.  I'm pretty sure my companion started to tear up haha.   No, but we had a good experience this week with a lady, we talked with her in the street and later visited her and her daughter.  She has cancer and is really sick but she wants to get baptized and her daughter is also really sick from the same thing and they are going to get baptized here in a couple weeks! Anyways thanks for everything family, sounds like everyone is doing great, I'm doing good down here.  Have a great week!

And no, we actually don't eat much ice cream, that was probably my first ice cream since i got here haha and the pizza just makes you really sick!
