Hello Family!!
Haha, I feel pretty bad, I took a ton of pictures this week, but I forgot to bring the camera to email. Sorry, you guys will just have to wait another week I guess. Anyways, it was a crazy awesome week for me down here still in El Paso! (there is actually a socorro TX that took up most of my last area) My area right now actually goes into New Mexico a little bit, so thats kind of fun. look up chaparral nm. So we did indeed have five baptisms this last weekend. The Zamora Family were in the spanish ward. It was the parents and their son and daughter. I was actually even able to confirm the 9 year old little girl Mitchelle. It was wonderful! They are really an awesome family, already super strong in the gospel! Also, we had the babtism of Sergio Roberts in the english ward on saturday. He is seventeen and got introduced to the church by his girlfriend, the bishop's daughter. Kind of funny, but a really good kid. He already wants to serve a mission too! The work really is going well in this area, and so far I am really enjoying all of it too! To explain my area a little bit more, we are right in between Fort Bliss Military Base and these mountains I still dont know the name of. It is mostly pretty dense city until you get up north to New Mexico. So we get a lot of military people here. probably about 80 percent of the english ward. We also get a lot more cultural variety here. We have lots of Mexicans, White Texans and surprisingly a lot of Black texans. Pretty fun really. our are also ranges from 2 million dollar houses to mobile homes and trailers. So far I am enjoying it though. I certainly dont have to use as much spanish here, but I am actually starting to study more. Anyways, it sounds like you guys are all doing great back home! Mom and Dad, you guys look way too cool kayaking and stuff in San diego. It looks like you had a way fun time! I hope all you guys keep having fun with your summers! It sounds like you all have some fun plans!  Make sure to tell Alice congratulations! thats really cool that she is getting engaged! I can't wait to meet mr Ben Patron! Sadly, I have to go now, but I am trying to get better at writting back to you guys! I hope you have a wonderful week!
