OK, so this is hopefully going to be a good email.  In the library you have to either book a computer for a certain amount of time or work on these 15 min computers.  The Book a PC program has a virus so we are just on the 15 min computers.  So anyway this was a pretty eventful week.  Our baptismal date who was supposedly super positive basically has all but dropped us.  We tried calling and texting and she has just totally ignored us.  It's way frustrating, but I am starting to get used to it.  That is basically the way of a missionary in Denmark.  They all get positive to a point and then the excitement fizzles out and they end up getting dropped or nothing happens.  So we had NO, 0, zilch notta appointments last week so we just banked (tracked) a ton!  We found this place that is basically like dorms where young people live and banked that.  It lead to a lot of success.  And killing the rest of the mission in finding numbers.  The young people are completely atheist, but are very open to learning more about the church.  Thanks to that, we are having a good deal of success with them.

So yesterday, we had interviews with President Andersen.  Mauler came out with the grin of knowing something that nobody else knew which turned out to be news that he was going Zone Leader in Copenhagen.  Which means that I'll be "taking over" the area.  I'll still be junior companion, but since I've been here so long I'll know it better than whoever is coming.  I'm just really apprehensive about who I am going to get.  I have really been blessed to have Elder Mauler as a companion for so long.  He has really taught me alot.  I'll have big shoes to fill.  I don't find out who comes until Friday so that will be in the next email.  Also the DL spot is moving to Nykøbing.  Personally, I think that is a big mistake.  Just my opinion, but we kill them in numbers every week and I think that I should get a DL as a companion.  This also means that Mauler and Meyer won't be able to come on splits since it is no longer a DL spot.  Oh well.

Now we have an exciting next week.  Mostly because I'll be getting my new companion on Wednesday.  Hopefully your guys' box will be there so I can pick that up while I am in KBH.  We're excited for conference this weekend.  Except that it will be in Danish so I might not get as much out of it as I would like.  Hope ya'll have a good week.  Hope the dog stops biting peoples butt.  Love and miss you tons.
