Transfer soon?

Hey guys,

Well, we had kind of a rough week this week. We weren't able to get a hold of our investigator, and there were some motivation problems in our companionship if you know what I mean. The AP's came on Wednesday, that was fun, and President was here for the weekend. He was accompanied by Elder Senkants from Latvia. Our zone conference was pretty good, I had to translate half of it into Russian for one of the Sisters here who doesn't speak English. The cool thing was that night, they had a fireside where Elder Senkants spoke. He talked about a lot of things that have been interesting to me my whole mission. He talked about agency, truth, and the 93rd section of the Doctrine and Covenants. It was a really good talk, not a whole lot of people bothered to show up, which was sad, but it was still really cool. I had an interview with President Woolley after the fireside. He asked if I would like to go to Astana, the new city that will be opened. He said he still isn't sure who he will send, but I'm one that he has been thinking about. I'm in a good position to go, my companion is leaving, stuff like that. It would be cool with me whatever happens. I think we will know within a few days.

We had kind a discouraging week, a lot of time got wasted and I got in a couple of arguments with my companion. I can't see how you can just let your last couple of weeks go by like this. Elder Player, the ap, and I were on splits and we talked about how we won't even be stopping for lunch our last couple weeks. We'll carry a sandwhich around with us, ha. I hope I have that same attitude when my time comes. I'm just trying to use my time wisely. I'm trying to be effective. Only another couple of weeks. He's a really good guy, he is just tired I guess.

After we write home we are going to go to watch some of the Asian winter olympic games that are here right now. We bought some tickets yesterday for the freestyle ski event. It should be pretty awesome. I'll take lots of pictures and videos. I hope we get good spots. It's pretty fun here. I think that's why my emails are getting shorter and shorter, and less and less detailed. That and the fact that we are just struggling to find people who are really interested in the gospel. Right now on my mission, I think I have really learned how to study. The past week or two I have just learned a lot. I have really enjoyed learning from the scriptures and reading the conference talks. The gospel is just a cool thing when we think about it.

I can't believe that Dallin Brown was hurt so bad. That is a pretty big miracle that he was able to come out of it. I just want everyone to be careful, car crashes are scary. I thought it was pretty funny what happened to dad when he needed a shot, ha, I laughed about that one. And I honestly have been having dreams about Otis lately, I can't wait to get home and play with him.

Anyway, things are going as good as possible. I'm happy and doing my best. Thanks for the letters. I love you guys and hope you all have a good week.
