So this week is something I have been looking forward to for a long time. Not because I hated my
companion and wanted to get away from him, but it is a time for new beginnings and a time to
refocus on the work. I love every time that transfers come around because it is a time to evaluate
and see what we are doing well and what we can improve upon. So now my new companion is
Elder Bergeson. He is from Orem and is a really good missionary. I can tell that we are going to
do a lot of good work together. This week we were doing some less active finding is an American
neighborhood. It is pretty unusual to see a neighborhood like you would see in America. They had
front yards and they had back yards, they even had a BBQ grill. When you were walking through
there you just felt like you were in America. So we were walking through there trying to find this
house and it took us quite a while because we did not know the place at all. We were just talking
to some people and we meet this teenager who was 15 years old who was half American and half
Armenian. It really cool to be able to speak English with someone and talk with someone that has
the same mindset as we do. Armenians are very different than Americans. It does not mean that
they are bad, but just different. So this kid was able to show us to the house and the right place.
However, the less actives were not home at the time. That is when the miracle happened, when
we were on our way out Elder Bergeson waved a car down and this man gave us a ride home and
we were able to talk to him a little about our church. It was super cool to meet someone that was
totally self-reliant and that lived in a place like that. I might be getting too excited over this, but it
really is cool to meet someone like that in Armenia because it does not happen every day.
Keep doing what is right and always remember what is important in life and the Lord. 
I love that he always makes that same face in photos!
