HELLOLOOOOOO

You better make some DELICIOUS pizza for me then! Five Guys Burgers and Fries HAS to be where we go first, and as far as homemade meals, probably steak. It's been a looooong time since I've had that. Also if there could be a box of Cheezits waiting for me on the counter, that would just be amazing! My favorite hymn is either "I Believe in Christ" or "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief", or "How Firm a Foundation", or "Lead Kindly Light".

I've done a little bit of birthday shopping, and I guess you could say I'm having a pretty good time! It's nice, but it also just leaves my companion sitting there with a bunch of bags and standing around awkwardly in the middle of a store. BUT he's going to have to get used to it when his wife goes shopping, so I guess he gets to learn early. We havn't done many fun things for P-day lately, but I think everyone want to go to Auschwitz, so I might have to go there again. The fruit fly battle is going well, but we tried the fruit in the bowl thing, but we didn't have plastic wrap, so we used tinfoil, but that didn't work, so Elder Rasmussen just took the fruit and threw it onto this little balcony thing outside the kitchen window where it's not just sitting and getting grose, BUT it does draw all the fruit flies away from our house. So as long as we have the curtains drawn, it's a pretty good solution!  

There's an investigator we're working with, and he's about 19 but he's pretty small, and so I kind of feel like he's my younger brother. He also acts like he's a lot younger than he his. But we can all tell that he's secretly a good kid but doesn't know how to act like it, and we've been teaching him. He also hands out fliers where we do a lot of finding activites, so we see him a lot! We also helped him stop smoking, and he said that within that week that we worked with him on that, he started to believe in God! It was such a cool experience and we're definitly going to have to keep on helping him out. I really feel like he's my younger brother I never had!

From all the missionaries here, there's 5 investigators with baptismal dates, and two of them were in church yesterday. The missionaries were assigend all the lessons so the lessons were really good and solid. It was good! We've also got three new investigators from this last week, that we're going to meet with. Somehow we've set up a lot of lessons with people from a lot of sources and I'm really excited for this week! There's finally some success!

We also had Zone Conference (MY LAST ONE) and there I said goodbye to Elders Einfeldt and Alvarez because they leave a bit before I do. It was sad, BUT, we'll all see each other really soon anyway, so it wasn't that bad:)

I love you all so much!
