Hello Everyone,
So this week was crazy, it was exchanges and I survived so I at least get six more weeks in Tazmania. Also awesome news we got like an hour ago. One... we got our hour of email back and good thing cause I got like eleven from you people this week so i'm pumped about that. Two... WE GET CELL PHONES! I'm so excited finally all of our cancelled apopointment will not waste so much of our time i'm so excited. Three... My Companion is now the Disrict leader oh man thats so exciting we'll get to go so many more sweet places round Tazzy. And last is Elder Holland is coming in May and i'm excited but kinda bummed cause I figure i'll still be down here in Tazmania and he'll be up at the mainland. Oh well he is awesome and I got to see him in the MTC so i'm not too heartbroken. This last week was also great for finding. We are asked as companionship to find 5 new investigators a week. But we were able to get that many in a matter of three hours we were on five it was great. Also I finished the Book of Mormon for the first time all the way thorough by myself, really exciting for me, and the blessings poured out almost imeadiatley... by the way its a really good book I suggest you all read it too, haha. But seriously read it. So family i'm probably not gonna make it home after two years, i'm proabably gonna die from second hand smoking in about eight months hahah it's so awful it's like they are hot boxing us in there house, but there is an upside to that, I have now become addicted to teahcing the gospel. We met a lot of really promising people this week and some came to church i'll let you know if we get them to progress. I did meet one old man who approached me on the bus and he asked me how my work was going and then he said " So, years ago I met a member of your church, his name was um...? uh... Bruce McKonkie or something." hahaha I was like what you met Bruce R. McKonkie and your not converted? haha ya so I guess that Elder Mckonkie was a mission president here and came down to Tazzy a lot. Really cool though he was hard of hearing and we could chat very well with him, but I hope we find him again. hmm, what else... uh I definiatley think my friends should write me more, especially you Nathan Killpack. Anyways also last week we found a store that sells American products for really expensive but since I couldn't have it, I had to buy some stuff, I bought a box of Lucky Charms for $20 and some pumpkin pie stuff for $10, and a 5$ butterfinger for an investigator and $8 poptarts hahaha ridiculous but I had to have them hahaha...anyways I need letters nobody thinks I have family or friends so write me on paper my emails are filling my time up. Thanks love you all.
