Hey Guys! 

I have more time this week :) ha Its been good though. our zone pday was really good. We played soccer and capture the flag and ultimate frisbee. IT was fun.  We stayed the night in romerike for the night with the elders from halden and then we went to conference the next day. It was a really good conference. I really liked it. WE had elder dyches from the area presidency here visiting. I enjoyed it. There was a lot of things he talked about lots of stuff. It was really good.  There was a lot of good things said about how we can help the members and how we can be more obedient.  THere was a lot of good things there.  It was cool to hang out with so many missionaries too for a couple days.  The week was good otherwise. We saw *** again. that was good it's been a few weeks since we've since we've seen him.  I was pretty happy. He said he'd be in church but he wasn't... ah well. Church was really good. They've been having meetings with the bishops and with the stake presidents teaching them how to do missionary work in their wards. Im hoping good things are going to start coming. We were at a members house for dinner yesterday and they were talking about how they think that elder bednar coming is going to be about hastening the work.  I am pretty sure that is what he'll be talking about.  That will be cool.  I was talking to my distrikt leader last night and we decided its going to be more than just the normal hastening the work... haha :) Im really excited about that.  We've been sure trying to be busy here. IT's difficult to find stuff to do sometimes.  That's so crazy.  Tanners been home for a year and I'll have been out for a year on thursday. Wow. Super weird. It blows my mind how fast time flies. It's kinda scary! But it's awesome. :) haha I know what you mean about getting nervous to talk. I struggle with talking in front of people still. It's rough.  But I am working on it! Its funny how i can go out and talk to most of the people on the street pretty easily but talking in front of 150 members is hard!! BUt things are going good here. School started here today so the people should basically all be back from vacation. We are hoping so at least. WE really need to find some people to teach in this area.  I am having cool experiences of patience though. ha it's good. I am doing really good though.  The weather is cooling off quite a bit. Its been raining a lot. We had a few huge lightning and thunder storms earlier this week. It was crazy. SUper loud.  WE never know whether to wear a jacket or not. Because we just have these flash storms that come in and pour and then it would be sunny and humid and too warm for a jacket.. IT's crazy.  But it makes it interesting. Thanks so much for the prayers and support it helps a lot! I love you guys :) 

Love Elder Newey :)
