Good Food & Good People

Dear Family,

I am so happy for Haley and Dallas, a baby girl huh!! What are they gonna name her? I miss you all soooooooooo Much! I hear Nate Binks had a really good homecoming, that's awesome. I always enjoyed going to homecoming's and feeling the spirit that the returned missionaries had. Life in San Diego is going really well. I am busy and loving every minute. Last night we went to the hospital to give this lady a blessing, but the information we had wasn't right I guess, so we were not able to give her the blessing. I was bummed about that. But we did give a blessing to another sick lady last night as well.

I have had a lot of Filipino food the past few days, it is really good. Maybe not as good as the Mexican food though, but close! On Sunday morning some missionaries are assigned to the MCRD. It's where boot camp is for all the marines. On Sunday morning they all go to church so we go up there and have church with them and teach them. It is pretty cool how humble they are when they are trying to become a Marine. I will talk to you more about what we do next week. We are teaching this guy name Christian and we committed him to be baptized yesterday. We are also teaching Robert, but had to push the date of his baptism back because he is not ready. We will hopefully have a few more people with a date this following week! The people here are awesome, I love serving and teaching them. Thank you for all the letters and support. I pray for you all! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Love,
Elder Swenson
