Hardest week so far

That's sooooo awesome about dads new job!  I am so happy for you guys!  Those trees blocking the mountains in the picture you sent are what make me the most jealous haha . This week has been really sad, hard, tiring, mind numbing, cold. hot, challenging, and windy. Elder Bjork  (my new companion) is awesome he is so ready. He pushes me to work harder which is great because I asked him to haha! But really he is a good dude and is studying his tail off to become a better missionary and I really respect that because I have to do that to. He is also pretty ripped and a very good dancer apparently so that's neat. 
   Anyway, this week was tough driving a truck after driving an electric car and not driving at all for 5 months. Plus, I had to take over the area and train a new missionary, so yeah it was rough. Wednesday was terrible and Thursday wasn't much better but thing got better the more earnestly I prayed and the harder I worked. We just started knocking on doors that we felt like we should and walked around and talked to people.  We picked up 4 new investigators and one of them is very interested. They even gave us donuts and let us right in. It may have been because it was 29 degrees and we didn't have jackets on hahahah but hey whatever works I guess. We have met lots of new people and have made some solid goals for the upcoming week and weeks to come. I have struggled more this week thanprobably any other in my mission but,  at the same time it has been one of the best in lots of ways. I have grown in so many ways mentally, spiritually and maybe physically. 

This week was weird weather hot Monday and Tuesday then super cold Wednesday and Thursday and cold and windy Friday Saturdays and Sunday. Also,  l talked to an old white guy for two hours in the cold wind but it was well worth it. He helped build the Snowflake temple and he told us a ton of miracles that blew my mind and touched my heart. So that was awesome. Just found out by snooping on my companions computer that Sister Fortin was in his MTC district so that was cool. Anyway, I love you all and hope you have a good week and read the scriptures.
