Everyone I Know Is Pretty Much Amazing!

wow 17 emails today! thanks to everyone who emailed me: Marci, Christi, Sister Halverson, Viv, Gramma, Gramper, Steve, Kim, Meg, Jess, Aubs and Jameson

i got two packages last week! one from the ward for x-mas and the other from mom. THANKS!! it was awesome to get packages. it made me feel special. and from what it sounds like i'm going to be getting some more!! everyone i know is pretty much amazing!!!

we had zone conference last friday with Elder Kopischke from the 1st quorm of 70. he's german and he used to be the mission president in berlin, germany. anyway he was fantastic! i loved everything he said and he was really nice to me too.

well because of zoko and president and elder kopischke asking us to do things differently i've been very busy. we're so busy that we don't have time for like lunch or dinner break some days. it's crazy. we're trying to look for more investigators and so far things are going fairly well. we have lots of lessons which is great because we're suppose to be getting 15 lessons a week. i'm getting better at talking to people on buses and trains... i'm less scared. but i'm still kind of having a hard time bringing it to the gospel...but i'm working on it!

on sunday elder hunsaker and i sang in sacrament meeting... in german... about baptism! hahaha i was SO nervous but it went SO well. i'm trying to attach the video we took while we practiced and i'll see if i can email it you. if not then i'll put it on a cd sometime and mail it home.

so on saturday we went to follow up with dottie... but anyway we walked into her bedroom and there was a new picture she had begun to paint and i looked more closely and realized it was ME and elder hunsaker! she was there one time when we were practicing and she took a picture and shes' painting it! i'm a painting! i'll take a picture of it when it's finished so you can see. i'm playing the piano and hunsaker is behind me singing. it's SO cool!!!

today we went to the temple - always nice and wonderful - and tonight we have interviews with president. we'll see how that goes. we get transfer calls a week after my birthday on saturday.

Viv: thanks for sending me the pictures of noah! he's darling!!

Jameson: i got your letter at zoko last week. thanks! it sounds like you're keeping busy! that's good! when does school start??

Meg: oh my gosh i miss you too! i'm sorry school has been crazy - i hate tests. i'm praying for you though so hopefully things turn out alright! i'm excited for your package!! love you!!!!
