Hello all!

It has been incredibly windy down here in Holbrook.. Holy Cow! I think I'm sick with something, but I'm not sure.. I don't have enough time to think about it.

The above statement comes from a man while on exchanges who looks like Doc off of back to the future.. :D Absolutely made my day!

Things are going great and I look forward to the continued progress we are making in this area. I'm learning a ton and sometimes I wish I could take you all in my pocket so you could see what was going on... Too much to tell!

Love you all!

Elder Sandberg

Flying by the seat of our pants!

I will probably get shot when I say this, but I'm feeling less and less the desire to email on Mondays! Things have been so crazy, we didn't even have time for it yesterday. I haven't been this tired ever.. It's exhausting..

I normally suck at pictures, but here is one from one of the many many exchanges I've gone on! This is elder Udy. I absolutely LOVE this guy.. There have been countless individuals that I have made relationships with, but he is one that will definitely remain close upon returning home.. There are quite a few others, but I figured I would say that about him considering that is who the picture is of!

Lot's of miracles happening every single day.. Yesterday, we were flying by the seat of our pants, and responded to an elder who had been struggling for a while.. He has been super stressed and depressed, and we responded to a subtle prompting to just get up and go.. It was totally spur of the moment, left us even more shot on miles, but was totally worth it.. He's on the right path and I know good things will come of it..

Got cursed at by someone last week! YES! It felt great... I love it.. 

This week I hit my 18 month mark... SUPER weird.. If I start to seem more and more distant as the time approaches to come home, it's because... Well, i'm not sure why, but I can foresee it happening.. Don't shoot me because of it! 

Things are going super well.. Thank you so much!

Love ya!

Mother's Day phone call home!

It has been a great week here in the Holbrook area! Since I got here about 2 weeks ago, I've only been in this area for about 4 full days.. The main reason why is because of the different meetings that my companion and I have had to attend to.

I screenshot a picture of Elder Sandberg's address for you all!
I don't know if the sign is still up!  

My comps name is Elder Van Ry. He is from Riverton, Utah. He likes long walks on the beach as well as bubble baths.. Him and I get along super well. We live in what used to be a video store. It is on main street, and we have random people walking in our house thinking it is a business sometimes... Like this morning! I was doing my thing, making some eggs and protein when I hear the screen door open, and I hear someone trying to open the door! They then started to knock so I picked up my tomahawk and answered the door. Boy! If you could've seen the look on that guys face! HAHA! I guess that's what it's like to be on the other side of having people knock on your door and answer with a weapon.. :D

The work is going great, from the 4 days I've been here, and this week will be a better one.. I'm ready to get out there and tear it up! The greenie fire is back and not much will stop me from leaving everythin
g on the line for this last little stretch!

Last Saturday, Elder Quentin L Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles came and spoke to our mission.. What a powerful experience that was! His witness of the Savior will be something I will treasure and hold sacred for the rest of my life.. He talked about your true success is based on your act of inviting. Not just as missionaries, but members as well. You can know you are successful by how often you invite people to do various things!

Love you all!

Happy Mothers Day!
