Hej med jer,

 

Well I've  got a new companion now.  Elder Jones is way cool.  He's very  quiet, but I'll take it over the alternative.  It's really weird not having Elder Bailey anymore.  Everytime you take over the area, it just feels weird.  But I'm glad that we get the extra boost of responsibilty.   So last week was a lot of the same stuff, but it just felt a lot more productive than usual.  We did get a bunch more potentials this week than usual and we had alot of contact with all of our investigators so that we have alot of potential appointments next week!  Finally!  

 

It was weird saying good-bye to Elder Nielsen on Tuesday, but alot of fun eating at President's house.  It made me really sad that I wasn't going to be able to eat with him when I leave, but it was cool to be able to be there.  I also got to meet Elder Nielsen's dad so that was way weird, and that was my last dinner with Elder Bailey as well.  The next day was transfers and I spent the whole morning with Elder Sandstrom as we waited for our companions to come in.  Then we went and visited a referral Elder Nielsen had given me of a lady that had taken her name off the records.  That was an experience.  She just yelled and bashed the church the whole time and there's nothing you can do besides bear your testimony and apoligize for the way that she was treated. 

 

That was about it for this week really.  Oh, we did have an awesome appointment with an American family in the Ward, the Hedquists.  They are sooooo awesome.  I love this ward so much.  I would say they're my favorite family in the ward, but there are so many people that I could choose it's really hard to pick just one!  But it was a lot of fun being at their house.  They lived right next to GG Veach's house a few years ago and when I told them where they lived, they're pretty sure that they were in the same ward as them.  So that would be cool.  But yeah so now that's my week!  Thanks for ya'll support!  Miss ya and love ya tons!!!!
