Hey everyone! This week was kind of a crazy week! I got a new companion, and we had  tornado!
I will get to all that in a minute though!

Wednesday- Most of the day Elder Butler was packing, so it got a little boring at times, but it wasn't
 to bad! It was also weird Elder Butler said goodbye to some people today, and I tell you it is so weird
to be the missionary that is staying when someone is leaving! In the evening we played some Badminton
with the youth! That was pretty fun actually! I am not going to lie to you though it got super competitive
 which is weird because it doesn't seem like that kind of sport! It was fun though! 

Thursday- It was Transfer day, so we had to be in Springdale at 8 am that means we left at 6! It was
super weird to say goodbye to Elder Butler! We got to transfer point, and it was fun I got to talk to some
missionaries I always enjoy! Elder Jackson was there, and it was cool we went out to Lunch! I got Elder
 Augustus that day as well! He is pretty cool! He is from Idaho, and has been out just under a year!
He is kind of quiet, but I really like him! That evening we went over the the Lewis family, and that was
a ton of fun! We are getting closer to getting them to church! They are just kind of being a pain right n
ow lol! We will get them though! 

Friday- We had Brother Fountain come out with us, and it was awesome as normal! He took us all over
the map! I learned that there is a part of our Branch that is an hour away from the church! It was crazy!
The worst part is that the people we were going out to see had moved, so we drove a long way for
nothing! It was good to talk to Brother Fountain though! In the Evening we had an appointment with
 a family, and when we got there it was only the one guy everyone else had other things come up! We
taught him a really good lesson though,and he says him and his wife are probably going to come to
church sometime soon, so that was really cool! (They didnt come yesterday! We also go to give a
member a blessing! She has had some medical issues, and was in the hospital! Her super less
active daughter was there, and it was good for her to be there for that! The Spirit was defiantly there,
 so that was awesome! Friday night at approximately 11 pm there was a tornado! It was a pretty small
one, and was just outside of town! But it was a Tornado none the less! 

Saturday- It was a pretty boring day Saturday! Most of the day we were updating records, and I was
helping Elder Augustus to get caught up in the area! That was honestly pretty boring, but it had to be
 done! We went tracting later, and it was pretty good we got 3 return appointments which is super
awesome! I will let you guys know how they go though!! 

Sunday- We went to the church and hour early, and our Branch President gave Elder Augustus a
blessing! It was pretty cool actually! Church was pretty boring honestly! There was only 40 or so people
at church, so it was way small that day! We went out with our branch president after, and we
taught this way cool guy named Matt! He has had a pretty rough life! He spent quite a bit of time
 in Jail and Prison! He "found Jesus" his last time in Prison, and has cleaned up his life since then!
He was a media refferal, and he is just eating everything up! He is so cool! He Is reading the Book
 of Mormon, and it has been so awesome to see him!

Well I know this one was shorter than normal, but It was a good one! I Love you and miss you guys
so much! 

Love Elder Jordan Sorensen
