Hey,
This last week has been so amazing! We found out that Elder Soto and I will be staying together for another 6 weeks here in Hawaiian Gardens, and I am so excited to see that the Lord is blessing us with finding lots of people this last week. One of the ladies we found last week has already prayed and knows the Book of Mormon is true and is progressing fast to be able to make covenants with the Lord. Another thing that I realized today is that since Elder Soelberg and my name are on the lease for the apartment that when I get back that I am going to have some crazy good renter's credit because the church pays its bills on time. I love the work and everything is going great. I had a birthday present for Matthew and there is a funny story about it. I couldn't find a box that it would fit in right, so I taped two boxes together and took it to the post office and they said that because I was using the Priority mail box that I would have to pay the priority mail price. Then they told me that if I just covered it up that it would be fine. So I went and bought some spray paint and covered it all up. Then I went and shipped it, and it showed up 2 days later on our door with a notice saying that I broke some agreement with usps for using their shipping materials and not paying the priority price. So I'm waiting to send it until a little later. Happy Birthday Matt. Your present is coming in the mail. I just have to find where there is a UPS or Fed-Ex close to where I live.
Love you all,
Elder Rubert

Hey,
This last week has been amazing. This last week we were able to see one of our investigators get baptized and 3 of the people that I was teaching when I was in Cypress got baptized. It was a great day to see the announcements and see how much the Lord blesses the lives of the people that we teach. Elder Soto and I have been having a great time here in Hawaiian Gardens and we are getting blessed with finding more and more people that are prepared to receive the Gospel. We've also eaten very very well this last week. I love you all and hope that you are all doing awesome.
Love ,
Elder Rubert

Hola Familia,
This week has been amazing. We have a baptism coming up for Stacy this weekend and I have had so much fun teaching someone that was Kathryn's age. We are really excited and very grateful for this blessing the Lord has given us. We also have been able to get investigators to come to church for the last couple of weeks and they are progressing a lot. It was great to get the book of notes from people at the family reunion. Sounds like you all had lots of fun.
Remember that I love you all,
Elder Rubert

Hey,
This week has been awesome. Thank you so much for the snacks and the journal and pens. It is nice to have some home-baked cookies! This week has been going really great and I am excited to have another awesome week. Sorry I don't have lots of time today because right now my laundry is going to be almost done. But I love you all and hope that you all keep up the good work.
Love ,
Elder Rubert

P.S. Happy Birthday Dad and Kathryn this week!
