Sorry mom, I tried, I figured you were at the gym. But don't pull anything funny! It was way nice to be able to talk to you dad, weird, but nice, it made my whole day. And I was told to make it super quick so thats okay don't feel bad.

This past week has been maddness! But I got my visa finally it just took 3 days of dumb tests, signing things and sitting in line forever. But its done and I am glad. As I mentioned before, I now have a new companion, and I love her to pieces! She is so fun! And I think she is going to help me a ton with the language because she is crazy serious about language study and I think with Sora Larsen I had language study maybe twice. And Sora Lovell is intense with how she wants to run it, so I'm excited about that. Its about time I figure out this language. She is from Las Vegas, and she is so funny, she knows a million card tricks and can shuffle like a mad man. Makes me wish I was from Vegas, I can't shuffle at all. AND she has watched Calamity Jane.... I've never met anyone else who has ever seen that! We decided that when we get home she's coming to our house and we are having a cheesey Doris Day party, so prep yourself mom!

So, Magda is doing so amazing. I keep waiting for something bad to happen and she keeps plugging along, being her amazing self. We moved her baptism to the 28th of June because she works on Sundays from 1:00p.m. until 9p.m. so we are doing it Saturday because she has Saturdays off. I'm so excited because I thought with Sora Larsen gone things would fall apart because Magda loves Sora Larsen, but she seems completely okay with it, just smiling all the time, which is a pretty unique thing to her. Doina, another investigator on the other hand is not doing so well with the loss of her favorite missionary. And I am no Sora Larsen, so we'll see how it goes.

Yesterday was the most amazing Sunday ever! The spirit was strong! Yesterday was an exceptionally good day to be a missionary!

Anyway, I gotta go. Love you all, and Happy Birthday Dad! (on Thursday),Nicole

P.S. did you get those e-mails Sora Larsen sent you?
