Lost! (A Wedding and a Snowstorm)

Hey everyone! This week was pretty wild, I've been transferred to Marshalltown, Iowa. My Companion described it as looking like the city from "IT" so take that for what you will. It's a really awesome place and it smells a lot like Ottumwa

This transfer, My new comp and I are "whitewashing", which just means that we are both coming into the area so we had no idea what was going on with investigators, where we lived, nothing. So we got a little bit lost when we got here, but after like 5 minutes of driving down random roads hoping someone was standing outside waiting for us we just decided to start working. We got to knock Elder Ostergaard's first door! (see picture below) Also we talked to this older guy and were able to set up a return appointment and everything. Super Cool.

Eventually we started calling random contacts that we had and found someone who knew where we lived so we were able to find where we lived. We live in an apartment that a member built on to their basement, and its incredible. We are very blessed.

Our second day here we got a call saying that there was a Spanish wedding going on at the church, and that we were invited. So we got to practice our Spanish, meet all the Spanish members, and eat a whole bunch of Mexican food. 

That night we got a weather warning for snowstorms and woke up the next morning with like 4 inches of snow. Elder Ostergaard was not pleased

But its been really awesome here. Elder Ostergaard and I are like the same person and I'm really glad to have been put with him her. 

I love you all! Have a good week
