Hey Mom
This last Saturday we were able to go down to the LA Visitor Center with an investigator it was way awesome that place is so cool, we had a lot of fun and it was a really good experience for Alex ( our investigator) that he was able to come with us he is a way cool and funny guy. Also last Monday, p-day, my comp and I after doing emails and all that stuff we went to the Chevrolet and GMC dealership and we test drove some of the new Camaros and some of GM's trucks it was way fun. Also this last week we tracted out a family the Dad's name is Roberto we were outside his house and my Zone Leader had to make a phone call, we where on exchanges, and while he was doing that Roberto came out to go somewhere and he came up to us and asked if we were the missionaries and if we could come back some time cause he had some questions for us so we set up another time and went back and he's been looking for a church and all his questions and views are right on. He's golden so he will be being baptized in a couple of weeks once he and his family comes to church. Also either this week or more likely next week actually an older sister Sister Bartolini she has a lot of health issues and she can't get around to well so we are going to baptize her in her swimming pool at the place she stays at it's a old people complex so that's going to be interesting. Well that's about it for me, I love my Job lol, love and miss ya all.

Well I guess to start this one off on Saturday my companion and I drove up to the other side of the mission back to Barstow for Mariah's baptism it went well it was a lot of fun. As for my companion his name is Elder J Spencer Brewer he is from Salt Lake City, ya know the company that makes all the CTR rings and stuff, his Dad is the President of that company. He has been out for about 4 months but he might have to go home early due to he needs surgery on his shoulder and possibly his knee so we are hoping that won't happen but it's all up to the Lord, he is way cool. I like the new area the members are way cool and we got some awesome investigators we are teaching we have already set a date with one for the 6th of November but she actually lives in Fontana not here in Ontario so we need to figure out what we are going to do, she might move over here cause she spends all day everyday over here cause her kids go to school over here and she is looking to get a job as well. The only down side is the Ward Mission leader there are some difficult people to deal with, but o well.
Well I love ya all lots.

Well it is cooler than Barstow, then again anywhere you go is cooler than Barstow. I got transferred down to Ontario where I'll be for sometime. If everything goes well this month on the 16th my companion Elder Brewer (who is from Salt Lake, he went to East High that is where they filmed High School Musical) and I will have the opportunity to go down to the LA Temple and check out their new Visitor Center with some investigators and members of the ward, it's going to be awesome. The area I'm in has slowed down a little bit right before I got here so we are doing a bit of finding. The Ward is one of the better ones, the ward mission leader and the ward is pretty good a t getting us people to teach this is going to be a good few months I'm way excited. Be sure and read Pres Monson talk next month in the Ensign the talk about gratitude ya got to be thankful for the things that ya got for the things that the Lord has blessed us with he also talked about optimism. Pres U's talk was really good as well, his was on pride and how we should be proud of ourselves our families and our religion but that we shouldn't let ourselves get prideful, we should be proud of who we are and about what we do but humble. Well that's all remember always put the Lord first in all that ya do and everything will be alright.
