Staying put! Yippee!

Hey!!!

How are you? How is the family doing? Anything fun going on?

It’s been fun here. It’s getting hot fast. It’s been in the 90s all week and it’s killing me cause I don’t like hot but I’m doing my best to not die! 

This week was a very good week for the work. We have two people we are now teaching, Brother Z and a guy named Dave. They are both very excited to hear the gospel! Which makes me excited!!! Because I love sharing the gospel and helping others come unto Christ because that is my purpose as a missionary. My investigators are super cool. The one just walked into church last week. Then we taught him on Thursday and he accepted the challenge to be baptized on July 8th so he is super ready for the gospel. He told us he doesn’t need to pray about the Book of Mormon because he knows it’s true already. So he is awesome. The other one is gonna take some more work but he wants to know truth. He has some struggles and problems with alcohol and pot so that will take some work.  I only know them by Brother Z and Dave. I don't know Dave's last name, he wouldn't tell us. Hopefully he will trust us soon and tell us his whole name.

Other news… we got transfer calls *drum roll* I’m staying in the area and I’m staying with Elder Victorino!!!! I’m happy with what I’m doing here. It is a bit of a hard area but I like a challenge and we have people to teach so I’m happy! I still have not left the Riverside zone my whole mission. I will spend probably 6 months in this one ward, so that’s fun. Other than that nothing much happened. We hiked Mount Rubidoux again, so that was fun.

That’s so cool that you and Sister Victorino are talking. I think you guys should be friends because Elder Victorino and I are really close now and i think he has been one of my top two favorite companions. I love Elder Victorino!!! We get along probably too well haha. People keep saying we are the same person, but he’s skinny haha! 

About the pictures: the skunk is not close to our apartment. My hair is really short and I don't like it too much and there's is a volleyball on my head haha. We play a lot of volleyball and we hit that one so much it blew up and we made it into a hat. Haha we are weird.

I love you all!!!!!!!!!!
