Tervetuloa Vaasaan!

Well well this week was a pretty hectic week. I am now safe and sound in the city of Vaasa. Getting here was pretty strange. We are both new here so we have spent a lot of time trying to figure out what is going on and how to get places, and where to buy food, and where people live, and a whole bunch of other things. We are getting a pretty good handle on it now though. We set off the church alarm one morning because no one bothered to tell us that we had to put some code into the security panel before we walked in. So that was pretty fun. The cops weren't called but everyone outside thought we were trying to rob our own church. The city is really cool and is pretty good sized. There was a graduation party for one of the members this last Saturday so it was super nice to be able to meet the whole branch before Sunday at church. One night we were talking to one man and trying to figure out the bus schedule with him and as he was helping us his bus drove by. We felt really bad and apologized to him. We kept talking and he turned into a really solid potential for us. It taught me how there are people who are prepared for us where ever we go, we just need to be willing to look for them and talk to them. Anyways my new companion is Elder McOmber and he is from Orem Utah. We are both really excited to get to work in Vaasa and to get to know all the cool members here. Summer is going to fly by super quick. We have a couple investigators here who we are in the process of contacting. One lives in Vaasa only a couple days a week and is super busy all the time so we still trying to get to meet him. Things are going well and as always I love the opportunity to be a missionary.
