This has been awesome! I very much enjoy being elder Muhonen's companion. He is very energetic, has lots to say, and is an amazing missionary. Ironicly, we realized, we both replaced our MTC companions here in Van 1st. Last transfer I had heard a few snippets about Elder Muhonen. I'm glad I held back judgement though, because he is stellar! We are going to have an amazing transfer here and will see many miracles!
Bikes are fun, our area is pure hills, they keep you in shape. It's been fun to introduce elder Muhonen to them, he half complains about them with hilarious comments. We had Scott Free at church this week and he loved it, had to blast off after sacrement meeting and didn't know how to read the hymn book but he's excited to come next week!
Tonight, we are going on an exchange with the Assistants to the President, and we are stoked! Doesn't normally happen but Elder Muhonen got a recent convert to share her conversion story at a fireside they are putting on so he's going to support. We already had plans that evening so I'm staying with Elder Broadbent to cover.
Hope you all have a good week, love ya!
