It was awesome to hear from you guys. I love hearing about
everything that is going on back at home. Thanks for sending me a birthday
package! Tell Tyler to keep working hard
and just have fun. You only play high school football once. Tell Cade to keep
working hard and have fun, too! What's going on with BYU? Crazy stuff. I can't believe Notre Dame is doing good now! That would be an awesome trip to go
to a game out in South Bend!
I'm sorry to hear that Brother Davis passed away - I love the tradition we do because of him. Tell Murph and Alex that I'll
try and send a letter to them soon. How is Tanner and Perry doing?

Yesterday we got transfer calls. I'm going to stay in
San Francisco with Elder Peña again. We're pumped! We have a really good
relationship and are always laughing. He's a great missionary and
everyday he teaches me something new. So, needless to say, I'm thrilled about
staying!
This last week we also had stake conference. It was a
super cool experience because our stake conference was a satellite broadcast of
President Thomas S. Monson, Elder Anderson and Sister Reeves. It was cool to listen
to as translators translated for President Monson. Elder Anderson
knew Spanish and did his talk in Spanish. It was a
great stake conference and the spirit was definitely there!

Well, it's good to hear that everyone is doing great. The mail
strike is officially over and we´re starting to get mail again. Today I got three letters
from Grandma White Truck and a letter from Jordan Gardanier - tell them thanks
for me! And thanks Mom, for preparing a package for me! I'm craving American
sweets! Sweet Tarts, Reeses, anything really! I don´t need any medication, and with the water I'm completely fine. The water here is clean and I have
a filter bottle that I drink out of, so it's all good!
This last week was a lot of fun! I went to the temple
grounds with our recent converts and some investigators. We went with Selva and
the other missionaries that live with us. It was a BLAST! After we toured the
temple grounds we went to the mission home and talked with the mission

All is well here in San Francisco. I´m absolutely
loving it here! The members are awesome and we have some great investigators.
With Elder Peña we basically speak Spanish the whole time. He likes to practice
his English, so every once in a while we´ll talk in English but mostly we talk
in Spanish. I´m learning a lot with him.
Yesterday was Fast Sunday and Elder Peña and I had a really
cool experience with our recent converts Flavia, Ana and Luis. All three bore their
testimonies at church and you could feel the spirit so strong as they bore it. Ana was
crying at the pulpit saying how greatful she was for the gospel and the plan of
salvation. I can´t remember if I told you but two weeks before the baptism of Ana
