Letter 6-15-09

Well Familia- I'm in the desert. (Calexico) with Hermana Alcantara. I never thought either of these would happen, let alone at the same time. But it's great! I love it! We are having a great time & working hard like I said in the e-mail. (Mom, print it off so Jenn or you can put it on the blog) So at transfers last Wed. we got a packet w/ our names on to do a survey. Well Sis. Nielson & Whitley were still together- on the label - I was w/ Hna Alcantara. But Pres. changed it last minute & I went w/ Sis. Nielson to the branch. Then Thursday I packed up again because I was emergency transferred to the valley w/ Hna Alcantara. Anyway it's a huge long story.... Anyway... Calexico remindes me of out West. We have lots of fields then little towns scattered about. Until you go to "downtown" it's pretty much Mexico / Asia, more Mexico. Border Patrol evrywhere. Gloves & rope hanging off the fence... It's fun- I feel like I've gone to a completly different mission. I like it.
We are pretty much white washing & starting over w/ everything. so we have a lot of fwork to do. Pres. Packer the old Mission Pres. sent the disobedient & rebellious missionaries out here. So the entire valley isn't progressing yet. Now Pres. Donaldson said he's sending the best PMG Missionaries, the ones who will get the job done. So we've got work to do. We've got a lot of ideas about this place.
