Hello, it's been a good week. The last three weeks we have been having a hard time finding new people to teach, but this next week we are going to try some new things, and we're excited about it so hopefully we can find people that actually want to learn, rather than just bothering people who don't. :)

On Wednesday I went on an exchange with another brand new missionary, Elder Olsen. I knew him in the MTC, and i might have sent a picture of him, actually. He's 6'10, so that might narrow it down. He's a really cool guy and we learned a lot on Wednesday. It was kind of cool to both be brand new missionaries, and we taught well together. We taught a lot of cool people, and I'd go more into who and what we taught, but I don't have a lot of time left for this email. But we did teach one family and they really enjoyed what we were talking about, which was family prayer and scripture study. But I don't really have too much time to talk about the other people we taught, sorry.  Just know that I'm doing good! :)

Oh, this is basically the last P-day before transfer day! I won't have a Pday next Monday, it'll be on Thursday. We don't know if we are getting transferred or not yet, and we won't know until the day before, so that's nice. :) My prediction is that both Elder Muller and I will stay, but I'd be fine with whatever happens, of course. I just can't believe I've been out here for so long already! To me it seems to be going fast and slow at the same time. They say "The days seem like weeks, but the weeks seem like days." and that's exactly true! :D

Ok, I have to write my letter to the mission president now, but I'll just end by saying thanks to everyone who has sent me letters! I really don't have the time, even on p-day usually, to write back to everyone. But for those who have sent me mail, thank you very much! I know it's kind of expensive to send mail or packages here, so you don't have to do it very frequently. :) Ok, I guess that's it! Bye!
