Hello and Howdy to all y'all out there. welcome to the 20th Anniversary episode of
The Ogaard Files! This
here is your host, Äldste Ogaard, coming to you from the bottom of
Sweden on a lovely rainy day! And may I say, what a wonderful day it has
been! Perhaps by the lateness of this email you can guess it has been a
little hectic, and I'm sorry to say that this week's broadcast will be
relatively short. I want to recognize all the wonderful people who sent
me birthday wishes already, and I promise that I will better talk about
all that next week. For now I'll fill you in on what went on this week:
First off, I have gotten
very little sleep this last week. Thanks
to a week almost filled to the bursting point with travel (delayed
trains during transfers on Wednesday, travel to Göteborg on Thursday for
a zone training on Friday, travel back to Karlskrona on Friday, etc),
we've been meeting our beds at times a tad later than we would have
liked. However, that is totally cool, because through the magic of sheer
perseverance and total awesomeness, we made it through.
Oh, speaking of
we, I'm sure that you are all interested in knowing a little bit about my new companion. His name is Elder Ward, and no, he is
not related
to the Wards in MH. He's from Detroit, and is just coming out of his
greeny area (he's been in-country 3 months). I really like the guy: he's
got a real fire for missionary work, and he likes to make jokes. He
also apparently
likes to overreact a little when he loses one of his name tags: when he
lost his magnetic name tag, he went and ordered 5 new ones. On purpose.
Don't believe me? I have photographic proof:
(he doesn't have a face in this picture because I thought it made him more mysterious and interesting)
But yeah, that's how the week has gone for me. Sorry to cut things so
short, but I promise I will get to all of you guys next week (Shannon,
Val, you two especially. I loved the gifts!) Anyways, remember that I
love you, keep calm and carry on, and most importantly, stay on your
toes, because you never know what will happen in the next episode of
The Ogaard Files!
