Hey, so an update on a Saturday. I'm being moved to Ballerup on Monday. I don't know if I'll have time to email then or not so just in case this is an email so you don't freak out when nothing comes on Monday. Love you talk to you soon.

Hej Familie!
So it was an eventful weekend to say the least. On Wednesday (I know not the weekend) Æ. Mauler and Æ Meyer came on splits just for fun and to say good-bye to Roth. They stayed until Thursday evening. It was way weird walking around Slagelse with Mauler. I hadn't done that in a month and a half and here I was walking through the staring city again. But anyway, after they left Æ Lee our district leader came on splits. It was that next day that was way eventful. Æ Tolman (from the MTC) is still way weird and a goof ball. He ate a 930 gram (almost 2 pounds) burger for lunch and was basically down for the count until he left. While we were at lunch, we got the call that I was being transferred and that was a huge surprise. So, Roth is in London right now, flying home and three other missionaries were leaving on that date. So I knew something was happening, but I definitely wasn't expecting that. I was told that Slagelse would be shutting down and that I'd be moving to Ballerup. Slagelse will only be shut down for three weeks, but I was still a little taken aback since we had three pending baptismal dates. But yeah my new companion is Æ. Peterson. He has been in Denmark 6 weeks.......yeah I went senior companion. I'm also technically training, since his training period is 9 weeks and his trainer went ZL on Jylland (my mission bro Æ. Ence, so Peterson is actually my nephew). I feel really overwhelmed. I feel like Præsident just stuck a greenie in charge of a greenie, but I know that the Lord can help me. Last night we had an eating appointment and the Danish was just coming to me so easily and I am really grateful for that.
Roth is on his way home now. It is very weird to think about. I can't believe he's gone. We had a way awesome time together and I'll miss him alot.
Friday is Zone Conference with both zones getting together. It should be alot of fun. I get to see some friends from Jylland that I haven't seen in a while.
Ballerup seems to be a cool place. I have a house!!!! There used to be six Elders living there but now its just us two. It is probably four times as big as my Slagelse apartment. It's way cool so far. I have my own bathroom, several couches, big kitchen, and a whole bunch of left over crap. I am way close to Copenhagen now so I hope that I can go into the temple a couple times before I leave. It'll also be nice to hang out with more missionaries in the area, instead of being stuck out on boring West Sjælland.
I think I sent you a picture of Peterson. It's the family pic I sent a while ago. He's as bald as a soccer ball. He likes to talk a lot, but I think it'll be ok.
Well I'm glad to here, that LDSEHE is over and that you guys now have a breather of sorts for a while. Hope everything is going well. Have a wonderful week. Love and miss ya tons.
