What an interesting week...

Hello Everybody.

Well, this has been a pretty interesting week, and that's mainly for one reason. There's a greenie in the English Elder's house, Elder Verive, and he has a massive desire to go out and work. However, his companion, Elder Tindall, has been down and out from getting his toes operated on for ingrown toe-nails, and so Elder Huskinson and I have been doing exchanges every day with them, to help Elder Verive get all the experience he can. We haven't been working in our area a lot because of this, and so we don't have a very good week to report. But, generally, every day, we wake up, do everything normal, and go out with Elder Verive. We go from 11 to lunch, then after lunch for a few hours, then one of us goes to dinner with him. Since we've been working so much in their area, their area is BOOMING!...and I really mean booming. It's going so far that it's crazy. They've already got over 4 baptismal dates, and several investigators. They're on fire.
That's about it for them. As for me, there hasn't been anything to really report. The only thing I can even come close to thinking of is that I won the Settlers of Catan game we played. Really, that's about it.
Also, for those who receive this letter and are currently serving, or have served a mission, would you send me experiences on some stuff that may have happened. Most missionaries always explain things about positive experiences or companions they hated, and they rarely talk about how they themselves fared. I want to know mostly about stuff that you would do to keep yourself motivated, keep pushing, times where you think you had been in a slump, or whatever. I'm interested in that sort of stuff, so if you could, that'd be awesome. Thanks, and have a good one.
