Hey Everybody!!
 Hows it going for derre? Out here everything is going pretty good. Sorry dad that i haven't been answering your questions. I forget haha.  I'll try better...  Justin seems to be doing pretty good. ITs cool.  Valentines day is definitely an american holiday. SOme people celebrate it, but its not too common.  I have seen the olympics on in nearly every window ha.  THey love the olympics.  We saw some of the opening ceremony while eating kebabs. THat was cool.  There has been a ton of rain and snow and now its sunny and almost all the snow is gone. So thats nice. It was way too wet and slushy.  Oh well.  February is almost half over. Which is crazy.  Ill have been out 6 months in 4 days.  thats super weird to think that.  Moose was pretty good. There hasn't been anything too unusual.  I've eaten duck, quite a bit of lamb... stuff like that.  Its not too bad.  I havent eaten any lute fisk yet.  SOunds like rylee had a good birthday. Hows tanner's roomate? Is he like kevin? Theres really not a lot of people left at home... That's super weird...  Missions are crazy. I love being out here. There is definitely a lot of things that would try and drag you down, but as long as you really are trying to do your best, you are happy. THings may not go exactly to plan, but you are at least happy.  The excitement is pretty big in the ward. It's pretty awesome.  We are hoping for lots of success. We are setting high expectations for us. We had zone leader training and president interviews on tuesday. When Elder B was with sister evans she made him promise that we would get 6 baptisms before he goes home.  So we are going to do that. We haven't found any solid investigators yet.. But we have a few potentials and we are really excited.  Things could go really good. We had some really good discussions with some referrals.  this week and one guy told us to come visit him, but the other we had a really good conversation, but he basically decided that he was happy where he was and that he was fine living without answers.  But it was a really good conversation.  Elder B and I are way excited for the next couple transfers. We have a lot we want to do and a lot of ideas.  So hopefully we get them into place and then get them to work.  We had some crazy experiences this week.  After some intense studies and stuff, we decided the best thing for us is pray always that you may come off conqueror that you may conquer satan that you can escape the hands of the servants of satan that do uphold his work.  So we put that on our wall and put it next to a picture of christ. Its awesome. I learned a lot about the power of christ and his love.  We are way excited to get into this work though.  For some reason I was super exhausted this last week, but I still feel good.  We were working hard.  So we will just keep working hard and get better.  I am loving this area though. It's awesome. THis week will be rough with member work, because all the members will be in stockholm for a temple trip this week.  But I think we will have a lot of good things happen! Thanks for your prayers and your support. I love you guys! Keep doing good things! NEver forget the church is true! Good luck reid and jacob against the leaders in basket ball.  Glad rylee had a good birthday! Have a fantastic week! Snakkes!!
Love Eldste Newey
