Hola,
This last week has been great and we have been blessed a lot with lots of people to teach and Elder Soelberg and I went out with a bang. Then today is the first day of the new transfer and my new companion is Elder Soto.
He grew up in Mexico and moved to Fresno California when he was 9. So I'm excited to still be here in the 2nd ward. Thanks for the banana bars. They were awesome!! This transfer is going to be awesome and I am excited to see what the Lord has in store.
Love ya,
Elder Rubert

Hey!Corbett got his mission call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you got to know Baker City, Oregon. Last time I was there was for a Lacrosse Tournament when I was in High School and it didn't look like much then. This last week has been amazing! We've been teaching and finding people like crazy that are prepared to receive the gospel. Hopefully I stay here another transfer so I can see them get baptized. The Lord has truly blessed us this week and we have been seeing that all over the mission the missionaries are finding prepared people this month. I hope that you all are still having fun and living well.
Love you all,
Elder Rubert

Hey,
This last week has been amazing and I can't believe that it is June already. Time really does fly. Elder Soelberg and I have been able to teach a lot of great people here in Hawaiian Gardens this week and see a lot of them truly come closer unto Christ. We were also able to see Eric get baptized on Saturday which was an amazing experience as always. Other than we have been having lots of really hot days already and its barely starting to be summer. You've got to love California weather right! Love you all and keep being awesome!
Love,

Hola Familia,
This last week we have had an amazing week and found out that a couple of our investigators are telling all their friends and family about the Book of Mormon and that makes it good for us because then we have more people that we can share the Gospel with. I love the work of the Lord and all of the true joy and satisfaction that it brings. Summer's coming up quick and I hear (and see) that Aprilynne's new book is out and doing well, and that everyone else is doing great. Time is flying so fast that it is almost June already!We are teaching a few families right now that are progressing really well and we hope to be able to see them continue to progress.
Love you all,

Hey,
This last week has been awesome and we have been having lots of opportunities to teach. I forgot a little what it was like to be in a Spanish ward and to be teaching all of the time. I love the work and everything is going great. Just one thing, the address that I gave you was the wrong one. We found out that the address that the mission home gave us was wrong and was actually the address to a nice Chinese couple that live in the other apartment 66 of a complex right next to ours. So we went over today and got some of our mail. But our real address for sure is :12521 Centralia Apt. # 66Lakewood, CA 90715It was a fun adventure last night when we got the mail we got some old junk mail from the person that lived there before us, but when we looked at the address is wasn't the one that we were given. Then we went and looked outside and the address on the mail was right but the one that we had been given was wrong. So we then found out that there was another apartment 66 and Elder Soelberg was able to get his package that had been sent to them.The work is going great and I got to give my first training last Thursday and it went well. This transfer we are going to be focusing a lot on developing Christ-like attributes from ch.6 of Preach My Gospel. I'm excited for in 2 weeks when I'm supposed to give a training on the attributes of Patience and Humility. Perfect! I hope everything is still going well and I love you all.

Hey,
It was nice to be able to talk to the family on Sunday, and I amstoked to be here in the Cerritos 2nd ward again. At church on SundayI got to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in a while, which wasnice. Come to find out that my bike that I left at George's housecan't be brought over to me today. Funny story. So I left my bike sothat I wouldn't have to move it with the mission car when I was movingto the new apartment, and George was going to bring it to me. Then acouple days later Elder Knight and his new companion both crash andbrake their tires. So now both of my bike tires are on their bikes andtheir going to the bike store to get new ones. So I'm happy that mybike was there so that they could use it to help them keep working andnot stuck at the bike store. I do hope that I get my bike back in onepiece though. I love missionary work it's amazing and we are allhaving a blast. We have been having some amazing success here inCerritos and are looking forward to a couple of baptisms for the endof this month.

Hello,
Sounds like everything is going great over there. I got transferred back to the cerritos 2nd ward and I'm back in the Spanish ward! I am having a blast here. My new Companion Elder Soelburg is from Payette, Idaho. So with the two Idaho boys here we are going to baptize the city of Hawaiian Gardens. I hope that everyone is still reading their scriptures and doing everything they know they should. The mission is amazing and I am excited to be able to practice my spanish again. After being in Cypress for 6 months though it was a little hard leaving, especially Kaj, and Lynn. Hope for the best.
