sounds like you have had a lot of fun. i actually mispelled my new companions name last week his name is elder Wingemann. he's an amzing guy. he's from Lindon, Utah.
this week was intersting. wensday was just tracting. we had no appointments that day and couldn't set anything up. so we knocked on quite a few doors that day. we found this one street that looked like you should have belonged out in Goochland. there was just a house and then a big space. but by the end it was fairly normal. it was werid anyways just being with Elder Neilson. he had a fairly embarrasing story this week. he called up a sister in the ward and it turns out she was converted by another elder neilson. he still calls her up everynow and then. the funny story is, that she thought it was the one who converted her. she asked, how's your baby. elder neilson said in a really confused voice, okay, i guess. it was pretty intersting.
on thursday we picked up Elder Wangemann, and he's pretty amazing. i'm glad to have him as my steptrainer. he's also has very good sense of humor.
on saturday we have been working with a member. it's a funny story, we had a lesson with him to pray about finding missionary oppritunties. the next day he gets a call from jehovah witness's missionaries. so he has been taking lesson's from them and is trying to introduce them to the gospel. he's invited us over a couple of times. we've gone twice now, the first time we just sat there, and it was werid. this time we tried to teach them. we even handed out a Book of Mormon to them. it's been very intesting so far. unforunately he's just accepted a job offer and is moving outside our mission boundries. so who knows what might happen.
on sunday we had talks by former servicemen and it went very good. it was a very amazing sacrament meeting. i had a hard time staying awkae after that though. i slept really bad the night before and then slept bad again. so it wasn't very good. but i have slept fine ever since.
this week has been intersting to say the least, but i've enjoyed it. elder yelton i think is going to be around bountiful this week for a wedding. a former compaion is getting married in the bountiful temple. he made a comment about dropping by, but it sounded like he was joking around. so you may just have a visitor this week. my allegies have been doing better, i bought some pills to try and they've been doing pretty good. gas is about four dollars here at places. it's insane. sorry i wasn't able to send pitcures home last week, but i will try this week. so soon you will have some visual proof that i'm allright.
