A lot of new missionaries are overwhelmed here this first week haha i'm just workin hard and having a blast!

My companion is Elder Sterling from Reno Valley Cali and that is by Riverside so Paul and Karen will be there area mish presidents so that's pretty sweet to know!
He is good to have as a comp. He's sumtimes is a negative nancy haha he'll say "I'll never get this espanol" or "I'm overwhelmed" and stuff like that...I dont like it cuz im positive all the way lol if he says negative stuff it just goes thru one ear out the other, i choose to be happy cuz i dont want to be miserable!
