Hej med jer,

 

How are you all doing?  Another week gone.  Elder Bailey's doing pretty good.  We taught a young girl from England this week named Maria.  She was way cool and it was the first time we'd had a teaching appointment in about two weeks.  So it was good to get out and get some teaching done!  It's been unbelievably slow getting new investigators and appointments with our investigators.  Hopefully it will start picking up now that it's starting to get nicer outside.  I feel really bad because you know the ZL's are supposed to be the model area and we're nowhere near that right now.  I don't know what to be doing different either. 

 

So Tuesday, we had splits with Ballerup and it went pretty well.  It was such a trippy feeling to be back in the area and riding the trains and buses.  We tried to stop by Jack and Malene and came to find out that Jack went to Uganda two months ago and either hasn't been allowed back in or hasn't been allowed out of the country.  Malene sounded so sad and tired being with their twins alone.  Hopefully things'll work out soon. 

 

Then on Wednesday I got officially the biggest shock of my life!  President Andersen got up and said that he had recieved a letter from the First Presidency saying that his mission had been changed from a 3yr to a 2yr.  So come 30 June, he'll be done!  So there will be only one group that will see president and his family from the start of their missions the whole way through.  The new guy's name is like Shawn D. Cederholm I think.  He's from Arkansas.  But I'm so disappointed that I won't be with president through the whole thing.  I was really looking forward to that.  I'm also disappointed because he has done sooooo much for this mission and turned it around so much only to leave it.  I feel like there is a wave of success that 's about to happen and he's not going to be able to see it. 

 

So Wednesday was Specialized Training and Thursday was Leadership meeting so not too much happened.  Then it was a very quiet weekend.  This week we've got Zone Leader Council so that'll take some time to prepare for.  But hope ya'll have had a good week.  Love ya!
