I am in Tracy now. I miss Elk Grove, but am excited for a new experience. It is a lot cooler here so that has been really nice, but it's really windy!
One of my first days here we were picked up by a lady named Charlotte. She's so sweet and she is set to be baptized April 26th. She came to conference on Sunday and really enjoyed it. Her daughter joined the church about 3 or 4 years ago and is an active member. So that has been a really good influence. Charlotte has about 13 cats. haha. She's so funny. One is about 20 years old and the other one is 19. Can you believe she has cats older than me?
I would have to say about 40% of the people here speak Spanish. At times it is frustrating, but at least my Spanish is improving. That's always a good thing.
I will be sending pictures soon. I'm excited for the transfer, but I miss Elk Grove so much. I love the people there, just like I am sure I will love the people here. As I get settled, I will write more.

Love,
Elder S.
