Re: Momma

Dear Momma,
Please give my love to Lyle and the boys. I'll definitely be praying for them. Could you send me their address so I can send them a card?
So, as you can see, I'm writing this on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Our brand new mission president (just arrived last Friday) is shaking things up around here. He moved the transfer forward to tomorrow instead of Thursday, so we're packing and trying to cram everything else in today. As for the transfer itself... things are pretty crazy. I'm finally leaving Uppsala, which I'm pretty excited about. I've only got 3 transfers left, and I want to see as much of Sweden as I can. We're whitewashing an area (meaning we're new to the area, and know nothing about it aside from the notes left by the last companionship). We're going down the south end of Sweden to Halmstad. I think I'll be close enough to Denmark that we'll get to go to the Copenhagen temple! I'm going to be the senior companion in a trio. I've got Sister Vistaunet (a really bubbly, sweet girl who's just finishing her greenie transfer) AND I'm training a greenie! As far as anyone in the mission can remember, no one's EVER done this before. We all thought it was crazy enough to whitewash and train at the same time. No one's ever trained in a trio before, nevermind whitewashing on top of that! Interestingly enough, EVERY trainer in the mission is from my MTC group. Since the elders are only half-way through their mission, that says a lot about them. They're a bunch of real super stars.
I love 'em to death!
Thanks for sharing Nate's email with me. I really enjoyed it. He's so sweet, and he's trying so hard to make a good impression on you. You be nice to him, 'kay? :-P It's probably a good thing I'm going to be up to my eyeballs in my new transfer assignment. It'll keep me focused on the mission work, which has been a little hard, since I'm engaged to the most amazing guy ever, and the work in Uppsala's been slow recently.
Hm, what else...?
Happy 4th of July! We have 7 Americans in the ward here, so we all got together for a little barbeque yesterday, which was fun. The hosts had a huge patch of daises in their yard, and we all learned how to make flower wreaths.
I'm sure there are other things I could share, but I really just can't think of them with all this transfer stuff going through my head, so I'm going to wrap this up. I love you so much, Momma. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Don't forget to pray and play a little bit too.

I love you!
