Hey! This week was very interesting. Zones Confrence was great, just took a huge chunk of time away from us. We traveled to Halmstad 1 night, slept there, finished our trip to göteborg and had zones confrence there. President Kopishke and Elder Ford were there from the 70. That was cool, they gave us this plan to go to the next level. It was really confusing but very good. Alot of it sound like he was saying what is wanted from us, but not what is practical, or reality. It was very interesting to hear what they had to say. Honestly I was very confused with what they actually wanted of us, but the zone leaders cleared up a lot of things for us last night. We are suppose to get 20 total teaches every week, and 15 of them are suppose to be member teaches. I'm sure the most of you dont understand what that implies. That is absolutely rediculus but we are going to do it!!!! It was really good! We are going to do it this week. I'm very excited for it. Äldste Langston is excited for it too. when we were planning he said "this is going to have to be incredible." haha yeah it is going to. we are going to try to do it this week. so back to last week, tuesday was travel to Halmstad, wed was drive to Göteborg and Zones Confrence stayed the night there, then thursday we were going to go home but Äldste Tikkinan was messing around with Äldste Petersen (they are best friends) and Tikkinan ended up splitting the back of his head open, he needed 2 stiches, so we went and waited at the hospital for 5+ hrs. I wasnt very happy. I can be really patiencnt with some things, but it was so stupid, anyway so we got home that night and killed 3 days to go to zc. then we went and chopped down a tree in this guys back yard-- that was pretty fun, but then that seriously took time out, and then the next day we helped another member paint her basement. so yeah, not much time to work, and tons of our planned teaches fell thrugh. that was not fun. Over all it was pretty good week i guess! learned a lot. I'm excited for this week, we are really going to tear it up! glad to hear the Draper Temple is done! that is so awesome!!! send me pictures someone! to get to the closest temple i'd have to get on a train for 2 hours to get to denmark. not too bad, but nothing like a 5 min drive! take advantate of what you guys have! Nothing like the promised land of America and Utah CONGRATS TO NATE! my cousin! apparently he has been doing awesome at basketball for the Miners. Keep it up! I'd like to see some more reports from you nate! and emailed news articles about it! Hopefully this week we get alot of work done! Love you all,
