Woah. Training.

Ok. so what have i been doing. there were transfers. which means that my beloved russian companion went home. His last words were

"russians are like pinapples, hard and poky on the out side but soft and exotic on the inside"

what a guy. i miss him. 

But i got a new companion. Elder Duty. He just got her from america which means i am training him. He's like obi'wan and i am Qui Gon Jin.

here is what i told my mission president about him.

Elder Duty is a little bundle of joy. The kid's brilliant. He isnt very confident in his russian yet but he just talks to people anyway. He's going to do great things and i have high expectations for him. He is so sincere. i am learning a ton from him in our companionship studies and he is humble enough to listen to me as well. Elder Duty has a great testimony and isnt afraid to share it. Its fantastic.
For our story I'll tell you about the trip here. It was pretty funny. So after i gathered about 200 pounds worth of mail and missionary supplies and we got ahold of everyone that was going to Nihzny we set off to the train station. We had about an hour for the trip but it was Rush hour in the Moscow Metro and that means Madness...
Luckily Elder Steele, Doane, and the New senior couple came to our aid. without them there would have been no way we would have made the train with all the luggage and other stuff we had. things got interesting when Elder Steele essentially called a free for all in the metro on account of companions with luggage move faster than a huge group of people with luggage... when we tried to get on the first metro we lost Jepson. and Elder Duty lost his shoe! it was hilarious but i was too stessed out to laugh. Eventually we all met up at the train station and got on the train with 15 minutes to spare. Dont worry everyone were in companionships the whole time. (Steele found Jepson and helped him).

well thats all for now. sorry about the weird font. 

From Russia with love
