Hey guys!!!

Wow only 45 days.. THats so weird!!!! ITs hard to believe how fast
time flies... Christmas will be awesome. THe member we lived with
promised us lutefisk... So i will get to try it! whoo! haha sounds
like you all are doing good. Good to hear from jacob for once haha.
except what is this about leaving before i come home???? ill take that
up with him personally.. haha I started applying for utah state. I
hope i did it all right. I dont know if i should go to utah state.
They have nothing to do with architecture but suu does.... It would be
a lot easier to just live with you guys too. dang it. I thought i
could get by with another major before going to u of u but i dont
think that would lead in to it very well. Maybe ill apply there too...
but anyway. Alta is still great. its pretty small. Contacting isnt
really good for much. But we knock on doors a lot. So thats good i
guess. We get some success with it up here. The people in the north
are a little more friendly. So its awesome. I love it up here. It
hasnt gone completely dark yet... But the sun is pretty much gone now.
ha It snowed all day on monday and tuesday, theres still quite a bit
here. Wednesday was really cold. We had the travelling assistants
visiting on splits. When we woke up the member below us told us it was
supposed to be -19. I only saw it get down to -14. But it was still
really cold. We had a lot of cool things happen though. While on the
streets a guy from england walked up to us and asked if he could get a
book of mormon in english. ME and elder p taught him on friday
and he was awesome. We are going back this week. We worked really
hard all day with the travelling aps and got a lot of things going so
that was really cool. One of the aps really wanted to see the northern
lights before he went home so hed been praying for it. When we were
banking we saw a little bit and he was a little bummed but figured hes
still seen more than most people. Later that night we were all
getting into bed and he went to go close the window and just started
freaking out. The sky was just covered in lights. It was amazing!!!!
They were dancing like crazy and had lots of colors mixed in with the
green. It was the best lights show id seen. It was so pretty!!! We
were all really excited to see it. I tried taking pictures but I
couldnt get any thing good. Turns out my cameras not too good with
northern lights pictures. oh well. Ill steal some from my comp. but
the lord hears our prayers!!! even if its to see the northern lights.
haha I dont know what else i would need for my package.... i bought
some vitamins earlier. I got two bottles on sale for 100 crowns total.
so that wasnt bad at all. They should last me my time up here... I
think. BUt other than that im doing really well!!! Sorry i was
applying for school and stuff so i didnt have so much time.... Ill
have to tell more stories later. I love you guys!!! Thanks for your
prayers. :) I hope you all have a good week!!!!
Love Elder Newey
