We dropped our last investigators who were living in the hispanic neighborhoods this week, so the brilliant irony is that all of our investigators live in the places where spanish-speaking people aren't supposed to live and that the neighborhoods where all of the work used to be are practically untouched at the moment.  We added a guy from venezuela this week who is studying english at the university of san diego and is already progressing really well.  He accepted the invitation to be baptized the first visit, and a date the second.  He made it to church on sunday and really liked it.  He goes back to venezuela in 3 weeks, so that's how long we have to baptize him.  The investigator I talked about in the letter for your birthday is doing really well.  She got really sick and we gave her a blessing, and a virus that has been going around that tends to get people for 2 weeks was cured overnight.  She recognized the miracle, and then prayed to get Sundays off and was transferred this week to another store where her boss will let her have some sundays to go to church.  It is starting to warm up, and the food situation isn't that great.  I don't get to eat that great of food because I don't have time to make anything good or money with which to buy good wholesome food.  We had some members feed us 3 times this week.  They had a birthday party early in the week, then on saturday, and then fed us again on sunday.  Overall, things are pretty good.
