Hey Just a Quick Note

So I'll go to the internet club tomorrow to email you guys like usual, and I have some good news and some bad/depressing news for you, but it's nothing I can change and it's nothing you need to worry about, there's nothing I can really do about it. Anyways, I'm emailing you because our mission president asked us to, as you guys might have heard of the epic flooding that has taken place here in Novorossysk, Krimsk, and Gelenjek. Members and the mission president said it's apparently the worst natural disaster in Russian history. I don't know about that but things were pretty crazy, and there's like 150 people dead, but you don't need to worry about us. We are okay and safe, I'll have to tell you more about it in my email tomorrow but no worries we are safe! I love you guys, until tomorrow! I love you guys!

Companions

I have two companions, they are Elder Sandoval from Charleston, South Carolina and Elder Isabell for Mesa, Arizona.

We just changed companions this week (12/12/11) for the rest of our MTC stay. My new companion is Elder Wimber.

My first companion in Russia is Elder Reigngard. He is from Ukraine and speaks fluent Russian! He is learning English, so we are able to help each other with language. He is really cool and we like a lot of the same things.

My second companion in Russia (March 2012) is Elder Tropnikov. He was born in Northern Russia, relatively close to Moscow and speaks Russian and some English. He is pretty nice, but very serious and has a lot of pride in his country.

Another new companion (March 2012) because Elder Tropnikov had health issues and other things, so after about a week I got a new companion named Elder Belnap from Texas. He is pretty chill and has only been in Russia for a few months longer than me, so we are both new missionaries.

I have been transferred to Rostov and have a new companion as of mid July, 2012. He is Elder Joshua Gill from Denver, Colorado. I met him in the MTC, he is a little newer in the mission than me and he is really chill. I am also now a District Leader!

My second transfer in Rostov and I have a new companion from Mesa, Arizona, Elder Jacobson, stud, he is just finishing being an AP, and we've always been good buddies since I met him. He will be finishing up his mission with me.

I have been transferred to Selmash and have a new companion now, his name is Elder Brinkerhoff and he is from Grant's Pass, Oregon. (Nov 2012)

I am still in Selmash and am now training a new missionary, Elder Cook from Palm Bay, Florida. He is 19 years old and has a sibling in Hong Kong on a mission also. (Feb 2013)
