Hey everyone,

This week went by so fast. I really like my new companion Elder H-----. He is such a funny kid. He is from Utah which really is no suprise haha. This transfer is going to be a bit rough since I am in the same area again. But well what can I do about it but move and work along. I now only attend Church in two wards: Hidalgo Ward and Sharyland Ward. Hidalgo really reminds me of Raymondville Branch perhaps because of its size but I think just because its really easy to get to know all of the members since there aren't too many of them. They are really nice. My companion and I went to Gospel Doctrine class this past Sunday because there weren't enough chairs in Gospel Principles and I guess because we didn't have any investigators come to Church either. Anyway it was a great class.

I love the New Testament. I am reading it right now for my personal study as well with things that I need to study for but its great to have some personal reading time each morning. Elder H----- loves to read as well so its great to have someone that loves books as much as I do .

We had all sorts of experiences this week that definitely made it to my journal. We went on a tie dig just a few hours ago and found some great ties that were really cheap too. Elder H------ had never been to a bodega before and he was pretty excited.

Well I just want all of you to know that I love you. Take care.

Elder Rodriguez
