Hey family, everything is going good here in Rosarito, this week went by pretty quick.  On Monday we went and played soccer but I hurt my ankle pretty bad and by the time we got back to the house I could barely walk and I couldn't sleep until a friend came by and gave me some pain pills. The next day we ate with a member that is a chiropractor and he adjusted my foot and my back too, and after that I was fine.  Then Wednesday we helped a guy prepare and pour a foundation for a little bit!  Other than that we've just been working, we knocked a few doors this week down by the ocean, it was pretty cool, I'll send y'all some pictures.  This week we ran out of gas so I have been heating up water over the stove to shower with, we should probably buy some gas...anyways everything is going fine down here, thanks for the update, have a great week!!

Hey family, this week was good!  This week we had a few conferences, we had a zone conference with president and then a zone meeting too. Everything is going good here in Rosarito, the weeks just seem to fly by now.  And to answer your question mom the worst time this week was probably when I went on exchanges with the other elder in the other sector, the elder had forgotten to turn off the gas to the stove and so when we got home the house was full of propane.  haha So we had to plan outside and wait outside for a bit so the house would air out.  It was kinda funny.  We have had a hard time finding new investigators but the president just told us today that from now on we can knock doors, so that will be cool!  We'll see how it goes!  We have one investigator that is progressing good that is going to get married on the 14th of   February to be able to get baptized!  I hope everything is going fine at home!  Thanks for all the support and prayers! Have a great week!!!

Hey family, this week has been alright.  It's pretty cool being here by the ocean, its actually a lot warmer here than in Mexicali.  We barely need to wear a sweatshirt at night, no mom we don't live with anyone else, we actually live in some apartments behind the house of a less active member. It's a pretty nice apartment compared to the others I've had. This week I've just been getting to know the members here and the people, we really don't have very many members at all in our sector. This week I have had a cold and then I think I got an infection in my stomach again but not too bad.  Anyways sounds like everything is going good at home. We have an investigator that is going to get married on the `14 of February so she can get baptized so that should be pretty cool.  We'll see how it turns out.  It was raining pretty good the last couple days and everything just turned to mud here.  Yesterday we got stuck up in a sector in the hills because the bus wasn't passing due to the mud I would think. On the way up there, the bus was sliding all over the place, I felt like I was at home again off roading haha.  Thanks for everything have a great week!

Hey family, well I got transferred again...but this time to Rosarito.  My companion is Elder Zambrano, I was in the same ward with him in Mexicali Pedregal the second time I went to Mexicali, so I already know him.  He's from Equador.  It was pretty disappointing the transfers this time, they ended up closing the sector there in Mexicali, I don't know why, Elder Laufenberg and I were working really well and we had a few people that are going to get baptized soon. Seems to always happen like that. But anyways this week was alright, I took a few pictures but I forgot my cord so I'll send them next week.  We are opening up the sector here in constitution its called, it has been closed for a while so there are no investigators or anything.  I'll just be starting from scratch again. Our sector is right on the beach though so that's pretty cool.   Anyways sounds like you all had a good week, and sounds like its been pretty cold lately. Anyways thanks for everything, have a  great week.

Ya I packed up all my stuff last night until real late then woke up at 4:30 a.m. to get on the bus and come over here to Rosarito.  About 2 and a half hours.  Ya lots of us came here to Tijuana, it might be a little colder who knows.

Hey family! This week was good, it was great to see you guys on Christmas.   Looks like everything is going great.  Mom I got your package the other day, president came down on Saturday and dropped off packages, thanks a lot for the package!  I've been using the sweatshirts these last couple days, it's been getting pretty cold!  On Christmas Eve we went to eat dinner with the family Sanchez, it was great, we ate tamales and ham and a lot of stuff.  Then on Christmas we ate with the family Cardoza, we ate pozoli!  It was alot better than the last Christmas here!  We have some really cool investigators right now that are progressing very well, one is a 18 year old kid named Brandon, he has gone to church a couple times now. Then we are teaching a 29 year old guy named Rafael and his mom Virginia, they have been to church 3 times now and we found a lady named Iveth that has gone 3 times now too and is progressing alot!!  The Lord has helped us find the chosen ones in these last few weeks!!!  Transfers are next week, and Elder Laufenberg will probably go, he has 6 months here in Bella Vista!  That's great you went to temple square mom.  Anyways I'm doing great down here, just enjoying every minute!!  Thanks for everything, have a great week!!
