Hey everybody,

So this past week was good. Especially since it was sunny for the majority of the week. We had some cool rdvs this week. We contcted a university student and we went to the campus to teach her. We were in this little courtyard area so it was pretty peaceful. She also invited a couple of her friends and we got to teach a nice lesson to some pretty open people. Also this week we had another rdv with a really nice couple. We met them porting and it turns out that they had met with elders before like 10 years ago. They are super nice and we were able to give them a new book of mormon because they had lost their old copy. 

This week was stake conference. This was the first time that they were going to try to transmit it to the other chappels so that we could just watch it on a screen. But of course the wifi at the church is horrible so it didn't work perfectly. The wifi didn't reach to well in the chappel so we all ended up moving chairs into they foyer so that the signal would be stronger. By the time we did that we had missed like the first 15 minutes. It worked well until the last 10 minutes then it cut out again. But the middle talks were good.

Tomorrow we have a general athority visiting the mission so we have a big conference. There will be three of them in different parts of the mission so that all of the missionaries dont have to travel too far. so that means that i will get to see a third of the missionaries which will be cool. I think all of the swiss elders are coming to our conference so i will get to see all of them who i don't often get to see because americans cant get swiss legality so it's pretty much like they're in a different mission. 

I'm now adjusted to having 2 companions. It helped having the extra set of hands because we did quite a bit of service this week. Other than that there isn't anything to facinating that i have to say. I love you all and hope all is going well,
