<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I`ve been making a list of everything I need to let you know this week.
Here you go. Bring my drivers license, just incase they need it in the airport. Talk to President Smith to find out about my being released on Monday when
we get home.</div>
<div>
<br />
Meet me in the offices between 8 and 9, the sooner the better. The address
is calle 45 entre 70 and 72, num. 527 Q, colonia centro. It's a little confusing
with a lot of one-way streets, and I recommend you check it out with google earth
and street views. The building is a 2 story pink building. You can park on
the curb in front. If it looks too confusing, you could go in taxi, or go to
the temple and walk from there. Its about 10 blocks north from the entrance of
the temple. You may want to check out Xel Ha or Xcaret while you are in Cancun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is a family in Kanasin that has lots of financial difficulties, and
if you would like, it would be nice to buy some Christmas presents for the kids.
They have boys ages 3, 5, 6, 9, and 14, and a girl that is 16. I´d like to give some butterfingers away to my companions for Christmas.
Could you bring 5. When you are at the beach, don`t go in the water if there are red flags
out. Yellow flags are fine. Some people ignore them, but stay safe.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bring 2 packs of Jerky. Bring 2-4 jellys. Bring pants, it may get a little chilly. I wouldn`t worry about a sweat
shirt. I´ll be fine with the suitcases. I won`t have any extra luggage. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I´ll see you next Thursday. I`ll write on monday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love,</div>
<div>
Elder Gubler</div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The big news this week is that I got a new companion.
Elder <st1:city w:st="on">Moreno</st1:city> went to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Merida</st1:place></st1:city> to get a root
canal. Its a lot cheaper there than in <st1:place w:st="on">Cancun</st1:place>. Elder Rivera came in his place. He´s from
<st1:city w:st="on">Puebla</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Mexico</st1:country-region>, but has been living with his family in
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region> for the last 4 or 5 years, so
he speaks English. I´m sure he and Cuddles would be great friends. He came
over with the same group as Elder Velasco and Elder Moreno. He was the one that
I wanted to train, but its nice that I´ll get to finish with him. His first
area was in Palmas 1, so he already knows the ward.

Gabriel showed up to church at the end of the last transfer. He had listened to
the missionaries a while back, but didn´t want to get baptized. Now he is
ready. Next week we should have 1 or 2 more baptisms.

the people would like it. Could you check on jerky? They took mine away in the
<st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico city</st1:place></st1:city>
airport, but I think they just wanted to eat it. Can you also find out if I can
take my pocket knife on the return flight? I think it would be fine if we put
it in the suitcase and declare it. Could you also ask if it's o.k. to bring a
machete?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

back. Could you also bring an 8x10 or larger picture frame with you. I want to
put in a couple of pictures of me and Spencer Gubler and give it to President
Salinas. Or, if you can find a set of 3 or 4 stuck together for a 4x6, like
what we have at the beach house, that would be better.

Dear Family,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Go ahead and cancel my Costco card. I can´t believe that they charge that
much. Here, you can get 4 cards for 600 pesos. Thank you mom for signing me up
for classes. I´d like to take PD Bio this semester. Can you see if they offer
chem 105 for spring or summer? I sent some pictures. The picture with the 3 of
us is with me, Elder Velasco, and the Elder he is training right now, so you can
see the 3 generations of missionaries. The new Elder is Elder Hauser from
Ohio. Last week we were at a member´s house. He is a fire fighter, and he let
us dress up in his suit. He even hooked us up to the oxygen tank. The other
picture is of me at the birthday party we had 2 weeks ago. The last picture is
of me and 2 members from the ward. </div>
<div>
The suit I sent home from the MTC had some holes in the elbows.
Could you possibly get that fixed?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is a new rule in our mission. We are no longer allowed to knock
doors. They want us to coordinate more with the members and teach their
referals. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love,</div>
<div>
Elder Gubler</div>

The weather here is almost always sunny. Every once in a while we will get
a little bit of clouds and rain, but it passes by really quickly. Thank you so
much for the birthday money. Today I called in for pizza while the other 2
missionaries in my ward were at our house. One of them gave me some Doctrine
and Covenants DVD's that I wanted. I `m not sure what I am going to do with
the rest of my birthday money yet. All of our investigators that we found are
from street contacting. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This week I went to a little pueblo called El Ideal to do a baptismal
interview. While waiting for the bus, a guy from Switzerland saw my name
´Gubler´and wanted to know if I was from Switzerland. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like the school schedule that mom made me, but if possible, could you make volleyball an hour later? And get me a swim class also the same day? Both "beginner". When you sign me up for classes, please sign up for
volleyball first. It fills up fast.</div>

Dear Family,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My new companion, Elder Moreno, got here the same time as Elder Velasco. My companion from
the MTC was his trainer. He has been out for 13 months now. His last area was
in Chetumal with my old companion Elder Taylor. His is from the state of
Mexico, near Mexico City. I'm still a district leader. There are quite a few missionaries from my
group that are finishing as district leaders and zone leaders and trainers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This month there were quite a few birthdays to be celebrated. The bishops
daughter, me and 3 other missionaries that have been in the ward also have
birthdays in October, so we had a little party today. There were the 4
missionaries in the Palmas ward, and the bishops wife and daughter. We played
the game that we played with the 11 yr. old scouts where you have to eat a
doughnut hanging from a string. Then we ate a very delicious cake. It was a
nice birthday surprise. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This past week Elder Moreno and I found 9 new investigators. Things are
looking very good for this transfer. I´ll give you more info on them next
week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I´ll send my school scheduling ideas next week. If possible, could you go to the
professor rating website and find out which are the best. Also, check out when
the volleyball classes are. I want to take one this semester. They fill up
fast.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Love,</div>
<div>
Elder Gubler<br /></div>

I got to see all 5 sessions of conference this past weekend. I only missed
the first hour of the last session. This was an eventful weekend. On Saturday
we woke up and studied, and then went to conference. Between sessions we went
with our investigator Viridiana that got baptized yesterday. She made us really
delicious Chinese food. For dessert she gave us jello that is made with milk.
After lunch we went back to the stake center to watch the afternoon session.
When it was over we had the baptismal interview for her. After that we watched
priesthood session. Viridiana´s baptism was planned for Tuesday, but we changed
it to Sunday so that her husband could go. We also had an investigator named
Lefi that had her baptism planned for Sunday, but we couldn´t see her Thursday
or Friday, and we didn´t have a chance to teach her on Saturday. We got there
on Sunday not knowing if she was going to show up. To our surprise, she was the
first one there of our investigators, and asked us about her white clothes for
her baptism that day. We had her interview after the first session on Sunday,
and in the afternoon she came back for her baptism. When we first started
teaching her, she told us that she didn´t want to get baptized alone.
Fortunately everything worked out and she was baptized together with Viridiana.
About an hour before the final session, we found out that the pump to get the
old water out of the font wasn´t working, so we had to scoop it out with
buckets. Most of the zone helped us out, and we had a line on each side of the
font to scoop up water and dump it in the bathroom. We finished and were able
to watch the rest of the last session. They set up a t.v. in the high council
room during the last session so that the American Missionaries could watch it in English. </div>

Dear Family, </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We should finally be having a baptism this week after conference ends. Its
for a Lady named Lefi. Her sister was baptized about 2 years ago, and she has
been going to church from time to time with her, but never really planned on
being baptized. About 3 weeks ago she started reading the Book of Mormon. She
showed up to church without our asking. Next Tuesday we will have another
baptism of the wife of a member. Her name is Viridiana. She has been doing
great with reading, praying, and keeping the commandments. If she goes to
church this Sunday she will be baptized on Tuesday. She is really excited.
Other than that, we don´t have anybody that's progressing. Charlie, a guy that
we were teaching about a month ago, recently got back from Veracruz. His dad
was baptized in August, and died this past month. We´ll start teaching him
again and see if he will get baptized.</div>

Thank you mom for finding out about BYU. I have permission to register for
my classes. Just let me know when to do it. </div>

Dear Family,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I´m still district leader. It´ll be 1 year in October since I got the
assignment. The little town in my district is called Leona Vicario. There are
only 2 missionaries there. Its a little branch of about 30-35 active members.
I only went there once for a baptismal interview, but I´m going again this
week. I haven´t done divisions there yet due to lack of time and money, but
I will go in October. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After Elder Alonso talked with the missionaries, he gave a special meeting
to all the leaders of most of the stakes in the mission about participating in
the work. The mission recieved almost 1000 referrals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love,</div>
<div>
