alright well i know where I'm starting this letter. so i have been
getting ready and preparing myself for this transfer that happened
yesterday, because elder Cardenas would probably leave ( get
transferred, not to his house). then at 10 20 last night we got the
call... and i am leaving......!!!!!! and elder Cardenas is staying.
<!! I'm going to Monterrey , my area is called pedregal. all i know is
that it is really close to the offices. my new companion is Mexican,
but i don't know who he is. i leave tomorrow morning at 9 30 in the
morning.

it was so unexpected and crazy to hear. the whole day elder Cardenas
had said good by and took pictures, i said a few in case i leave byes
but that was it. also elder Sanchez is leaving the house too which was
super unexpected. elder Cardenas will stay and train again. which is
really really good at. elder Haynes will stay and doesn't really know
his area. we heard all of this 10 minuets before we were supposed to
sleep...... non of us could sleep. it is a really weird feeling. I'm
really sad to go. i really like my area, i love the house ,and the
ward. i really loved the last 3 months, i learned so much and had so
much fun. elder cardenas is really sad, he said he considers me more
of a friend than companion. oh man i could write so many things but i
don't have time cause i have to pack and were going down town to eat
and buy stuff. i am really excited for a new start, i don't expect
anything but the best.

the past week was awesome. maybe the highlight of my mission so far,
one of the highlights was Saturday night.  we baptized luz and edna.
the spirit was so strong. luz asked be to babtize her, she is unreal,
I'm really going to miss her. oh and her dad that didn't want her to get
baptized and wont marry Claudia.. came to the baptism, that was an
answer to a lot of prayers, i know he felt the spirtit, there is no
way he couldn't. edna a luz are so special. edna has something wrong
with her mouth and is really shy but she was beaming. i could explain
so much. but i felt so good. i am addicted to that feeling. i am going
to give every thing i have bring as many as i can to Christ.
i have learned so much. elder cardenas has said some really nice
things about how i have improved. but its time for the realy fun to
begin, with out a trainer.

please pray a lot for me and the new area i will be in.
mom send packages to the offices now, and letters if you want cause
ill get them fast now. if you already sent some here elder cardenas
will bring them to me.

elder bednar comes a week from today. its going to be amazing.

it. ill write him a letter soon. mom elder brock bank is sending my
card.
