Hi !! Thanks for the letters and the package. Life here in El Paso is nice, although it is getting rather hot down here. I am the only one who is hot because they all thought that when the weather was 70 it was cold. Also this past winter the had the "Big Freeze" temperatures dropped to a shockingly low 30 degrees!!! I just had to laugh thinking of how it was -11 this last year. But anyway the ward is nice and love that they have sisters. Our apartment is brand new, so it is kind of empty, but at least there are no cockroaches. Sister Rose and I have been teaching a family of 5 where the dad has been less active. But he now wants to go back to church, so he and his family are taking the discussions. The are scheduled to be baptized on April 30 (I think...), but it is super exciting to teach there whole family! The kids are so cute, (but not the cutest that I know ;) We also have dinner appointments almost every night, and its nice to not have to worry about cooking. Also mom should be proud, because I bought all my groceries for the month and it was under $40!!! I am a bargan shopper that's for sure..... Or maybe its the fact that I bought bread, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Chips, and a small treat. Ok so maybe am not that good at bargen hunting but still that gives me $60 left for the month. But let me tell you about a good experiance that I had this week. So the other night we where on our way to an appointment and we realized that the person had given us the wrong address (How rude). But we actually found a woman and talked to her for about half an hour about religion. It was pretty cool, and she said that we could come back! Ok got to run Love you all!!
Ok so have a few more minutes then I thought so I will write you both an email. I love it being out here, and I feel so blessed. Also I think God may have cured my allergies, because they were really bad for a few days and after I fasted yesterday they have almost vanished! It is just amazing the way the lord works. Also my companion said the following this week when we were talking about sun screen. "You don't use sun screen because it causes cancer! It makes it so your skin cant adjust to the sun causing you to get cancer". Yeah I had to laugh at that one, but thank you both for all the letters and packages they have been a really big help. I love you both so much and can you guys believe that I have been gone a month!! Wow the time has just flown by, well at least for me. Also next month we get to talk to each other, and that is just super exciting!! And mom I promise to send you pictures soon, I am just waiting for the memory card to get full.
Remeber that I pray for you every night and I know you do the same. I want you to know how great full I am that I was raised in your home. I have seen so many people out here and in my life that don't have a good home or good parents. It just makes me feel so blessed that God sent me to your family. And I want you both to know that I have a testimony of this gospel, and it is all thanks to you. Because of you I know that I have a loving father in heaven, because I have such loving parents right now. I know that Christ is my savior and that he is knows who I am and what I have been through. Thank you both for being the most amazing parents that any person could ask for. I love you both very much!!!
