This week we went above the standard of excellence again! We raked in 18 total lessons, 100 I/O's and 4 new investigators. So, like always we killed it again. We're going to try for 20 total lessons this next week! So that will be super cool to have happen! We have 5 planned tonight so that would be a great kick start to our week if we could do that! This new teaching way has been helping us a bunch and we have been able to teach way more powerful lessons in 1/4 of the time! The sucky part is that we probably teach upwards of 25 lessons a week, but in order for them to count we have to have a return appointment. So we teach lots of lessons but sometimes the people don't want us to come back.. haha Alright, so the hardest part of any companionship is probably deciding whether to buy separately or together on Monday... Some missionary's spend $60+ on food a week! It's crazy! But then there are others, like me, that spend at most... $15-$20 a week. The people that spend less are the ones you want to buy together with, since it will be cheaper! But the ones that buy a lot, you tell them to go buy it on their own! haha Getting along with companions... hmm... For me I try to make things funny. If your not having fun then your going to have a crappy time and probably won't have a smile on your face. If your happy then everyone is getting along, and there's companionship unity. So I always try to keep things funny in the companionship. But once I cross a line I have to apologize and make things right, otherwise you won't teach good lessons. I prefer trios! They're the best because you can teach single ladies and less active single wives! You don't have to worry about getting a third male all the time! It is so nice!!! We love it! Well the thing that I think that has changed the most with me is patience... I was honest before I left, I was a hard worker, you know this from what I worked in high school and how many jobs I have had, none of which were easy jobs. Reliability, I was very reliable, but my car was not. But I love my car so I will take the blame for that one.. ;) But I have learned a lot about patience. I don't get mad instantly after someone does something. I wait and figure things out. I'm not quick to jump to conclusions and I have learned it a lot, also through waiting to email every week! haha And waiting for letters that don't come!!! haha That's basically it! haha I hope all is well back home! I'm doing great out here! I love it! I miss you guys!
Love,

We were at the eye doctor for Elder Egbert, he needed to get an eye exam haha
And yes, Elder Rogers is very tall... a staggering 6ft 6inches. He makes me look small.
He's pretty funny though! I poke fun at him since he has to duck under everything!
