December 6th, 2013- back up a week
It's gorgeous here. As I was flying in we flew over the harbour, WOW!!. The water hitting the banks and all the boats, its beautiful. I can't believe I'm here. It doesn't feel real. I'm not going to lie, I thought NL had no civilization, but its actually quite big. They have stores, really cute houses, and a university...crazy eh? Also the houses are all different colors, and they are square in shape.

They are just so cute!!! :) My Companion's name is Sister Turner, she is from Calgary. Her parents are Ann and Dave Turner. 80% of the Canadian missionaries here are from Alberta. I was looking at all the missionaries on the big board at Pres. Leavitt's home and I knew 11 of them. Sis. Turner is great, we have lots in common, she played basketball for Sir Winston Churchill in Calgary and then played a year at Salt Lake Community College. We both graduated in 2012, she is also 19 and has only been out for 3 months. She's been a great trainer.

I love it here. I got to know the branch this week, it has about 70 people come out. In all of Newfoundland baptisms are booming, we are teaching lots. We had a baptism today, it was a 9 year old boy, it was very cool and interesting. Newfy's are very loud..... that is all I'll say about that and they talk crazy. Talk I can hardly understand, but it's great and I love it so much. I miss you guys and it was great to talk to you at the airport.

Merry Christmas and I love you tons.
