Letter to Brynne

My address is 7404 Armstrong Place San Diego, California 92111.  They send all of the mail to the mission office and then give it to the missionaries all at once so it'll be that address the whole mission.  I'm in San Diego now and my companion in the MTC also came here.  The people in my area here don't actually keep any of the commitments they make so it's really hard.  We have only had people actually keep even just appointments twice.  One time his wife made him and the other time his sister did.  We have given tons of blessings to people because school is starting and people like to get sick here.  In the past 3-4 days we gave 9 blessings.  5 were for school, 2 were for sick people, one was for someone trying to find a job, and then one was because someone thought a demon/ghost/not good thing was in his house.  My apartment is actually really nice and has a cool view.  It is pretty close to sea world so we see and hear their fireworks every night and that's not so fun.  My companion is from Utah but his parents are from Mexico and Puerto Rico and his step parents are from Peru and Ecuador so he's actually pretty cool.
