Hey everyone
This week absolutely flew so I'm not sure how I'm going to remember anything that happened but I'll try my best.
We got our new companion this week Elder Larson and it's already been a party. He brought his guitar with him so I've been a happy boy. He also brought with him a wrecked shoulder so that's sad. He's a great hard-working elder though and so we've been getting work done. 
Here are some things from the week that I remember:
-We've been contacting a lot and it's been kind of rough but we've been pushing through the rejection and relying on Christ
-I've started to live up to my nickname because I've been pounding toast for the past week. Mostly because it's all we have lol
-We did service at a school this week where we taught English and then got to play futbol with the kids it was a blast and dang this kids can play I was getting destroyed.
-We had a ward picnic this saturday and it was also really fun we had some investigators that said they would come and they didn't come to the picnic or sacrament meeting so we're going to continue to work with that. But the ward here is amazing and I love everyone here. 
-We went to Bishops family's place last monday and it was also really good I love their family so much. 
Not a whole lot else I've just been exhausted all the time but also the happiest so somehow it works out haha. I seriously love this Gospel and it's sad when people choose to reject but I've seen it change people's lives here. I've been loving the mission and I can't wait to give it all I've got for these next 2 weeks. 

Read your scriptures and say your prayers!! It actually helps 
Love you all!

Hey everyone  Oh man it's been a fun week. Also we contacted pretty much all day every day but for some reason it was really fun? Also Elder Day got wrecked with a stomach bug and we've started to get colds but we've still been going out and getting work done.  We actually had people come to church this sunday! So that was sweet. Church is nice. I got to translate @ church and man my translating is so trash haha. It's really fun though. Something cool that happened is we prayed really hard to find a less-active member one day and we went out to some addresses to find them and on our way we stopped a guy and tried to talk to him and he was like "oh yeah i actually used to go to your church" and then we found out more and it turns out he was baptized a while ago and even had the priesthood at some point so that was so cool and we invited him to come back to church. So miracles do actually happen it was sweet. Now that summer is coming around everyone dec...

2 Countries 2 Missions 2 Mission Presidents 3 Areas 3 Languages 9 Companions Hundreds of lessons taught Hundreds of hours of contacting 2 Years As I'm writing this it still doesn't feel totally real and so it's a really strange feeling coming to the end. This is the last time I'll be sending an email as I'm going home next week.  My mission really has been the best 2 years. But it really wasn't anything that I had expected earlier. It has been the most difficult 2 years, the craziest 2 years, and the most peaceful 2 years of my life. I've learned so much and so much has changed in myself and others that it has completely flipped my life around. I thought I knew the blessings of the gospel before my mission but I feel like I've come to actually know it and I've come to actually see the change and the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in people's lives.  I've seen and met and made friends with some of the strongest ...

Well I now have officially less than a month left on a mission so that's weird. I would say I have a healthy amount of trunkiness. But you better believe that I'm still grinding every day.  It's been a hype week. I'll just get into the interesting things: -My companion had interviews this past week and while we were waiting at President's house Sister Kumferman pulls out ticket to ride and we had a good old bonding time. The Kumfermans are literally the best and I'm so sad that I didn't have an interview with him this time around. I love them so much. -That night was crazy and we ended up joining a Gypsy caravan. We were walking down a creepy alleyway and next thing we know we're surrounded by gypsies and they're speaking their weird gypsy tongue. We quickly escaped and went across some railroad tracks but there was a very long train on the tracks that was stopped and so we were like "dang" and so we climbed underneath the train to ge...
