First Week P-day

hello family.

 

so i made it here and they stabbed me with 2 shots that i needed. hopefully you got my letter. things are going great here, a little hard at first but imn getting into the flow.

 

The flight went smooth and brookes picked me uop right away. i think it was 7 degrees when i landed and its been snowing a lot lately (not that im ever outside).

 

I love being a missionary and am learning a lot! the Langauge will come together in these 6 weeks. I leave for Norway on MArch 4. Luckily i dont have to worry about all that Visa stuff. Thanks for transferring the money and the DearElders, i really appreciated them. keep em coming.

 

I have seen Matt a couple of times and i'll make sure to get a pic before we leave.

 

The Food is good and im always full. Feel free to send me snacks. I dont like soda anymore and havent had it in over a week now. Hopefully the next soda will be a Jaffa of some sort.

 

I love my companion and we get along great. We have fun together and take this work really seriously at the same time. his name is Eldste Holden from Rockford, Illinois and we have a lot in common. He 22 and has a degree in Finance. We both have strong testimonies and a desire to be here. We also own on the 4square court.

 

My district has 4 elders and 4 sisters and we are all strictly obedient and its awesome. we work hard and get along great. Amazing to be apart of the Growth in misssionary work in Norway. There's 50 or so now and they are shooting for 120 i think by the end of the year. One of my teachers is the same from last time and he was super excited to see me. He remembered me. I love my teachers.

 

the Finns are just upstairs from me and I talk to them all the time and tell them about my family and experiences there.

 

There's a ton of Elders and Sisters here now which made it hard to do laundry today but everything is going good and im about to go to the temple, then teach my 5tht lesson to a Norwegian. Super Exciting

 

I hope everything is going well at home. Tell everyone I say hi and they can write me/dearElder me.

 

Love you!
