Welcome to the world Lucy Mae Hubbard!!! I was so happy to see the pictures of her. Congratulations Aaron, Lynze, and Oliver.

Thursday at 4 o´clock I had my transfers and came to my new area. They did the transfers of all of the zone leaders early. I am still a zone leader surprisingly and I am with an elderazo named Elder Lee. He is from Pleasant Grove, Utah and finishes his mission is September. He is a genius who was studying Chemistry at BYU and will most likely be helping me study it after my mission. We get along pretty well. There are about 38 missionaries in my zone. My new area is sick. I´m in the Churubusco ward, in the Churubusco stake. I love it. Still in la delegación Iztapalapa. It was one of the first stakes in Mexico. The members here are spiritual giants.  Our bishop is like 30 years old and the elder quorum president like 26. We live with a member named la hermana Mares. Well, we live on the same plot of land at least. All of the houses in DF are like 3 houses in one. She is awesome though and gives us food whenever we need it. The bad part is that I probably won´t be here for a ton of time because every missionary usually finishes as a normal missionary and as a junior companion. I am looking forward to that. In the area there are almost no investigators right now. They have worked a lot with some less-actives but it seems as if we are starting from scratch. We found a sweet less active family this week and taught a family with about 4 little girls about the Atonement. They understood it perfectly. We also taught a lot of active members and helped them in their missionary work.There are some huge apartment buildings in our area named U.H. Valle de Luces that is completely thug. It is so huge! There is a ton of work there.

The gospel is so cool and if people understood the blessings of it, they would never leave the church. The real blessings come after baptism. I am so glad that Aaron can lay his hands upon the head of Lucy and give her a blessing with the very power of God. You can´t receive those blessings anywhere else in the world. That is what the Plan of Salvation is all about. I know that God is in the details of our lives and he takes care of his children. Keep the faith remember that "grace shall be as the day." Love yall.

Elder Hubbard
