Hello,
This week has been pretty good we were able to go to the ward party on saturday and listen to Britney Buchanon sing and visit with our recent converts and some investigators a little bit. I got your package that you sent, and I also got the package that Duane, Trina, and the gang sent too! Thanks for everything. I also got a letter from the Timberline Seminary that was really awesome! Except for that everyone signed it except for Matthew. Hope everything is still going good for Christmas, next week I'll email you what time I'll be calling home, because right now I really don't know. That is going to be a really busy day. But just wanted to write and say Hi!Ciao,Elder Rubert

I haven't gotten the package yet but it should get here tomorrow if you shipped it yesterday. So sounds like everything is going good there. I'm stoked you guys got snow. It rained a little yesterday but that was about it. I have an L.L. Bean catalog that I asked a member if I could have and I'm living my winter through the pictures of snow in there. Now there is a lot of L.L.Bean stuff that I want to get when I get off my mission lol. Now that's good advertising, send pictures of snow to people in California where there is none?! But other than that, this last week has been awesome we've been teaching a lot of friends of the youth of the ward because all the old people have to work and say they don't feel comfortable sharing the gospel with their friends. Don't be those lame old people! Well I'm stoked that Christmas is coming up, and I get to go and have lunch at President's house today.So nothing much else is new. But Love you guys,
Ciao,Elder Rubert
p.s. someone from here in cypress is going to nick's mission so that should be sick!

Hey,
Everything here is going great and we are having some really great success. We taught this girl last night that was just an amazing lesson and I almost felt like the Spirit was making it so that we could all fly. I haven't had goosebumps like that in a long time. That was awesome that George got to call you guys, he said that he caught Dad a little offguard when he forgot what my last name was. So I told him he should have called you but he just called the house. But whatever. December can't be here already! My mission just started and now its almost 25% done:(. Time really does fly out here and it is crazy to think back and see all that has happened in this short amount of time. I'm still trying to get used to seeing Christmas lights up and it being mid 80's with no clouds. Its really weird. Everyone here is awesome though, I was scared when I got called to an English ward because I had forgotten how to teach in English and I didin't want to lose my Spanish, but I'm seeing that if I'm obedient that the Lord has helped me in my English teaching and my Spanish keeps improving everyday too. I'm stoked for Christmas, and guess what. I got my OnePiece stickers from Kara in the mail and they are totally awesome!!!! I hope that you all had an amazing thanksgiving and that everyone keeps studying in school and doesn't forget completly everything like I always did on my Christmas breaks. Oh, and to answer Dad's question ; Parangamacutirimicuaro is a indian city in Mexico. I'm pretty sure that's how you spell it. But I know that's how it's said.
Well Love you guys,
Elder Rubert

This week had been awesome. And we have been having a blast.
It's a little weird being in an English ward though,
so I don't get to speak Spanish as much, but it is
still a blast, and we get to teach english to spanish
speakers so I still get in lots of spanish
practice. I would say that I can say everything
that I really ever want to say, so I'm stoked to
learn how to teach everything in English Now.
To answer your question, yes i've
had a few baptims now and they were pretty awesome.
I'm stoked for thanksgiving, we have like 3 or 4 dinner
appointments. I MIGHT EXPLODE! But that would be okay,
because it is going to be sooooooooo good.
Tell everyone that I say Hi, and that I'm still
having a blast. I will pray for Cody, so Love you
all and talk to you next week.
Elder Rubert
Hey how goes it?
The work in this new area is a lot different because we spend a lot of time
with less-active members. We are living with members now which is weird, and
this is the first time on my mission where I have had to consistently teach
in English. I FORGOT HOW! But even though I'm speaking English with everyone
my Spanish is still getting better and better. I can speak spanish well
enough to teach an english class and be able to say everything that I want
to say and have enough vocab that I can give them new words. It's way fun.
THAT'S CRAZY WITH CODY! I hope he's doing better and let him know that I
hope he gets better.
And yeah I've had a couple of Baptisms so far, and am having a blast and the
Lord is blessing me with plenty of success.
Ciao,
Elder Rubert
P.S. I really fun spanish word: Parangamacutirimicuaro

Hey mom.
EVerything here is going awesome. I got transferred again today and now I am living in Buena park, if you can please send the package to :
Elder Benjamen Rubert
7532 Honduras Way
Buena Park, CA 90620
I should be here for a little while, but I'll keep you updated. And my favorite type of cookies are oatmeal/peanut butter cookies. And the Cd-player, if you could find one that can plug into the wall to charge, because it is just for the apartment, we have cd-players in the car I'm driving. I'm driving a really nice brand new toyota corolla 2010 this transfer. This puppy's got some juice. My new companion's name is Elder Hesterly, and I'm living with Elder Horsfall again,THis transfer is stacked.
We get the following:
Mission Conference
Thanksgiving
Christmas
Call Home
This is going to be an awesome transfer, but now I'm in an English ward so it will be weird, and I'll have to keep up my spanish so that I don't lose any of it.
I love you guys and take care.
Elder Rubert

My new apartment is kind of weird, I haven't gotten used to it quite yet. But it is so dirty, since my last two apartments have been big roomy and spacious with just missionaries living there, but now I live with a member and his mom. But I'm stoked that I get to drive again. First I got to drive the Mazda 3 in compton and now I get to drive the 2010 Corolla (it' nice!). And yesterday I got to see the whole trifecta of amazing cars. The new 2010 fleet Dodge Challenger RTS, Camarro SS, and the Mustang GT. It was a beautiful day. Everyone in california has nice cars but not house. It seems to me like they are thinking upside down and backwards.
