Well...I have been with my companion for almost a full week now. He is a very good missionary. Very obedient and hard working. He keeps me in line. He is my only missionary I have ever met that doesn't talk about home. He is SO focused on his mission that he REALLY has left everything behind.
We have a had a pretty good week. We found two new investigators and Glen came to church. This is going to be his last week till he goes back to Iowa. He said he doesn't think he is going to be baptized, but we are going to try and commit him again tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well : )
I had my 21st Birthday this week! It is crazy to think I am 21 now! A member here cooked me my favorite dinner and baked me a cake. It was really nice : ) I love this branch!
We gave a talk at sacrament on Sunday about knowing who you are and the Pre Earth life. Then I taught the Gospel Doctrine. It was kind of nerve reckoning teaching all these "gospel scholars" but I got through it lol : )
I talked about how my mom would always ask me before I left for school or with some friend, "Remember who you are?" That is something that has really stuck with me and helped me make some right choices. To know that we TRULY are children of God with UNLIMITED progression and FULLNESS of joy to await us. It really helps me keep things in perspective : )
Well I got some really good pictures at the Ice Sculpture festival. I guess this advent is pretty world famous and the sculptures were AMAZING!!! Truly a once in a life time advent. I took SO many pictures but I will try to send the best ones : )

Well this week hasn't been the best health wise. I got the cold about a week ago and am still feeling a little sick from it. I just felt SO week for awhile it was ridiculous! I SO much rather be healthy and well then sick. I HATE feeling so weak over your whole body. Well hopefully I can fully recover and get over this stinking sickness.
It is SO SO COLD today! It just cuts to your bones!! That probably doesn't help recovery time lol. Well they say that April is where break up it so hopefully and really PLEASE be getting warming. Is it just me or are you all just DONE with this winter. It has just been such a LONG winter!! BRRR!
Well we got transfer calls on Saturday. I am staying in Delta Junction and getting an Elder Young. This will be the second Young I will have served with. My companion is going to Anchorage. We drove up to Fairbanks Sunday night and stayed the night at the Zone Leaders and another set of missionaries. Well they wouldn't go to bed till like 12 and we had to get up at 430 to take a kid to the airport to go to Sitka, AK. I am pretty tired not going to lie, but I will have a lot of time to catch up on sleep in less than 3 months. It’s crazy how you get no sleep one night and get 7 hours the next and are fine again. Well still tired but not as bad. well I guess you are always tired, but just different extremes.
Well we are going to this Ice Sculpture thing up in Fairbanks today. You have to pay money to get in, but it is WELL worth it I heard. I should have some more pictures next week. Man I am excited. There are so many once in a lifetime things that you only could do on a mission. When will I EVER be in Fairbanks Alaska in the winter? I am never planning on being in Alaska in the winter again. I will visit in summer’s lol. Summers are just MARVELOUS!! I am SO Ready for summing. But right when it gets nice I go home. I go home the 8th of June, and they say it starts to get way nice the 1st of June. Like Flowers and leaves and everything.
I just want to be warm again lol : )
Well hopefully I don't fall asleep on the drive home : /
O so somehow the branch found out it was my birthday this Thursday and that is a lot of what they talked about in Relief Society LOL. Women and their gospel lol. JK. Well it should be a good B-Day, the last on a mission. I will be 21 years old! WOW! When I think 21 I think Return Missionary. Well I love you all and know that the Lord hears your prays and mine :)
