I don't really have to cook much in this area; we have dinner every night. I have a microwave, but we don't have a crock pot.

I am staying in Brawley with Blaine still, so not hying really changed too much. Elder Overman got transferred though, so there is only Elder John left in the desert with me that was here from my first transfer.

I experienced my first earthquake! It was in the middle of the night. I woke up cause my bed was shaking and I looked at the ceiling and noticed it was moving too. So, I went back to sleep. I woke up during the after shock also. They weren't very big.

The temple was so awesome! It is so pretty inside and outside. It's kind of small inside though. Not very many people go. The temple workers said that mainly they are there to go through sessions cause there isn't enough people . They have a session every hour instead of every 20 minutes like in Ogden.

I didn't see any other missionaries except for the ones from my district. It was their working day, so I think it would have been really hard to see people. We went and played football on the beach though and that was awesome! Made me want to swim, but just walking in ankle deep water was good to me :)

The main fruit around right now is grapefruit or pomegranates. But living close to Mexico we get a lot of produce pretty cheap like bananas.

I am doing great! Thank you for everything.
