Hola madre,

            well I hear raechel has received her endowments, how crazy. I'm really happy for her, AND really excited to hear what she was thinking about it all... (hint hint seester) its crazy to me now to think of home... and not know where it is or what it looks like....well besides those pictures.. lol... I'll definintly think about moving into our house when i get back... but it would be strange to not have my old room.. lol it really changes my way of thinking about it... Tell Grandma and Grandpa that ill be sending them a letter soon... I dont know why its soo hard for me to write everybody.. i sit down to do it and something ALWAYS comes up.. lol i'll work aliittle harder. As for Investigators...  well my new companion doesnt really think that any of them are progressing so he's all gung ho on dropping them and finding new ones...  which isn't bad i just have such attachments to my first investigators... i'd hate to just "leave them".. i feel like i haven't made a big enuff difference in their lives... like something should have clicked by now... and for alot of them it has... but they are just soooo attached to old traditions and habbits that they can't do anything ... so last week we gave them a bit of an eternal prospective and challeges a few of them to change and call us when they need help... but soo far nothing... I'msad to hear about the dogs... but their time has been coming... I just hope grandma and Grandpa dont take it too hard... they've always had dogs... are they going to get more? Yeah it had gotten to like 119 out here.. but then the monsoons started...... 10 -20+ mile an hour winds with more rain in thirty minutes then temecula usually sees in a week of rain... it floods and floows and crashes.... nearly a foot and a half high water in most places... we almost got caught in it.. we barely made it home about 8 minutes into the rain .... and the rivers were already a constant foot high... it was crazy... luckely we arent suppost to be out (in a car) in those so we got a quick little rest before we went out to work... but yes usually its out on bikes from 12 to 5 in at least 105 degree weather.. dry as a dust storm..... but yeah thats about it... we are working more on finding new people to teach this week.. pray for Ramona to see the truth about her 'friend' cig... that she will see he is a cunning devils advocate... and that she will have the streangh to beat him. pray for us to find some Children of god who are Ready to find GODs church on the earth. I love you all and ill talk to you next week.. (couldn't E-mail yesterday because things were closed.)
