My batteries got recharged at interviews with President on Saturday! I love our new mission president, he's the best. President and Sister Kosak! When it was my turn to go talk to him, the first thing we did (well actually we greeted one another with a hug first...) but the first part of the interview- prayed. The second thing- he shined my shoes. Just in those two things say so much about him!

Everything is holding up pretty well! Shoes will last at the very least 2 more months if not longer (having a car is helping). The undie situation is going pretty well, and now I understand why dad has so many holes... they just happen! haha. I still have one more bottom than top... but no biggie. Yeah I'm just getting thinner around the waist, I don't know if I'm really losing weight (we don't have a scale). European suits are all slim fit... and I want one :P

How is the new house? do you have pictures of it for me? Did you downsize because you only have TWO LEFT?!?! hahaha. just playing.
Olympics! We haven't been able to see too much of the olympics, just a little gymnastics before we started a lesson. A husband of a lady we're teaching said 'America already has enough gold medals, leave some for us!' haha. it was funny stuff.
This week has been really good though! a lot of lessons, some new people, and the work is going forward! I am already to John in the new testament and I'm starting a scripture study journal! I actually wish I had more time in the day to read the scriptures! one hour isn't enough!! haha. I dig it.I love being a missionary!

Love,
