In addition to being in a new area, Laredo also is the first time Ethan has lived with three other missionaries. Previously, he's just had one roommate. Sounds like it's a good group!

Hola Familia!
Holy cow General Conference was
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Man, if y’all haven’t watched it, make time and watch
because it was soooo good! Especially the priesthood session, that was so good!
Man, that's awesome about the baseball team, too! Andrew, are you playing on
varsity? What position? Send me pics of stuff because I’m sending pics home
today, too!
Elder Brian and I are doing great we are
currently teaching a lot of people actually but the closest to baptism are Olga
and Jorge. Olga is the mom and Jorge is 15 and they are doing great! Jorge is one
of the most prepared people I have ever met on my mission, he is a fire-ball
and just wants the Gospel of Jesus Christ so bad in his life. Olga is
progressing great, too, but she just doesn't know how ready she is. We are
planning on having the baptism this Saturday so pray for them please!
It is still hotter than the freaking the sun
down here, too, we hit 109 on the car reading this past week and it settled
down to 101 (but luckily we were in the car). The other peddle on my bike broke
off again so we’re taking that into the shop today as well :(
It was also Elder Brian's birthday this past
week and a Church member had us over and we had a little party, it was fun.
Nothing else too crazy happened this week. Laredo is still awesome and I love
it here! I'm so glad the Lord decided to send me to South Texas and especially
Laredo!!!

Andrew when is prom? Oh, also there is a fenced-in
school by our apartment and it looks literally just like the school from Nacho
Libre, it's the same place I swear – haha. We had 2 food appointments for 3
days in a row this week as well. The food here is amazing I love it (as
always). And all the members here love me because when I go over I just eat
like 3 or 4 plates of food and seriously nothing makes a Mexican lady happier.
I hope the Pirates have a good year this year, and also I’m jumping on board
with the Texas Rangers because a lot of people like them here and I just love
Texas.
I know this church is true and I'm so grateful
that we have living prophets and apostles to guide us. It is truly such a
miraculous gift for us to live in this last and greatest dispensation.
Les quiero mucho y come mas de yo andrew. Pongan
su confianza en el Senor y el les ayudara en todo. (I love them and I eat more than Andrew. Put your trust in the Lord and
help in everything.)
Love y’all,
Elder Christiansen
