Hello,
Back to school, huh?! I can definitely wait for that one. This last week has been great. We had a half mission conference where President Bubert went over one more time all of those trainings that we just received and clarified a few of the points there as well. Not much to report, time just flew by so quick this last week that I feel like I just blinked. It's awesome that everyone was able to go down to see the wedding, and I'm stoked to hear that you're planning on using Preach My Gospel in FHE.
Love you,
Elder Rubert

Hey,
This week has been so awesome. We are on our last week of the training so we are seeing a huge difference in our teaching than before and seeing the Lord start to pour out His blessings upon us for our obedience. How is everything going for you all? I found out the other day that after years of making fun of the Georgian accent when I hear people do it now, I just start twangin' with 'em. Elder Soto told me and I didn't believe him at first, but wow! Well we've been having a great time and working hard this last week trying to find some new people to teach. We had such an amazing Family Home Evening with the Rodriguez and Hurtado families. They are so awesome. We have been able to feel the spirit really strong and give us a little extra fire for the week. I didn't really realize how much I was missing out on by not having FHE before. I love you all and hope that you all keep being awesome!
Ciao,
Elder Rubert
P.S. Elder Rubert could use some fun pics of what you've been doin'!

Hi Everyone,
This couple weeks have been a spiritual feast as we have been instructed by our mission leaders about the new curriculum from the mission department. I love to see the work of the Lord actively moving and it gives me increased faith and a strengthened testimony of whose work this is. Last night I had a wonderful opportunity to participate in a Family Home Evening with the Rodriguez and Hurtado families, and towards the end one of our investigators that we have been teaching named Jazmin came with 4 of her 8 kids. I loved to see the lord working through his representatives (Rodriguez y Hurtado families) to express his love for his children. They went and bore testimony of the Savior and the spirit guided them to say what they needed to. This gospel is so true and I'm happy also to hear that you all had a blast visiting with Grandma Corbett this last weekend.
I love you all so much,
Elder Rubert

Yeah, you sent me the cd's from april conference, and sounds like you are all having a good time and looking forward to a good week. Everything is going great here. We have been receiving some amazing trainings these last couple of weeks and we are starting to see the blessings of this revelation from the missionary department. Just yesterday we had an amazing training on the importance of receiving revelation through prayer that was amazing. Nothing big to report here right now. Love you all, and being awesome.

Hola Familia,
This has been an amazing week here in Hawaiian Gardens, California. This last week we found out that this transfer we are going to start having two zone meetings and a district meeting every week for this transfer to receive some training directly from the missionary department. We had our first one yesterday and it went so amazing. I am excited to see more and more how the Lord is working through His chosen servants to guide His work. How is everyone else doing? Have you heard anything about Drew? Every time that I speak to someone from Guatemala I think about how he's doing. But the work is going great and we are working, which makes time go even faster than it already does, and starting to see the evidence of our labors.
Love you all,
Elder Rubert

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,

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 ,
