Dear family and friends,

In a nutshell, I don't have much time, but we have a very interesting week. We had the last zone leader council meeting of President Torgan, and we will have one with Elder Flukinger next monday, with that being said, I will probably be emailing here in 8 days. I get to be one of the first missionaries to meet Elder Flukinger, as he will be coming in Friday night.

Elder Packard is one of the District Leaders in my zone and he is Training!!!

Elder Rose and I were sad we aren't in a Tripla training, so we called two of the youth and told them that we are training them to work with us for the next 5 weeks, so it is close to training.

An interesting phenomenon happened this last week. . . The mission ran out of money because they sent home 24 missionaries and had to pay for their flights and bags, so we were completely out of money because we had an extra 100€ trip of going to lisbon that we were supposed to get money for on the 15th, but didn't get the money because the mission was out, so we ran out of money for food and everything. It is interesting to note that god loves us. On thursday we litterally had stretched ourselves to the max, and this group of Hawaiians came up and gave us food, they were members that were going to spain, but we found them in the train station, it was really cool, and gave us all of the leftovers, so then on Friday and saturday we ate the leftovers and sunday we had lunch with the members, and got our money today, so we are ok.

don't have much more time,

Elder hope
