This week has been really stressful! It hasn't been bad stress, there's just been a lot of things happening. Getting used to a new area is really difficult, because you have to learn how to navigate the city, learn how you are going to work with your new companion and develop a system that will allow both of you to work at your peak condition, learn the current members' names (and try your hardest to remember them), learn where the area's investigators are at in their spiritual progression, drive a car that I've never driven before in my life (we have a Jeep Compass), understand how the branch president wants missionary work to be done in the branch... There's a lot to it!
And I actually have to make a correction to something I said last week: I'm not in Marinetter, MI. I'm living in Marinette, WI but my proselyting area is Menominee, MI. The city is TINY compared to Green Bay! In Green Bay we had 14 missionaries for the whole city and here we have 4. Elder Ostergard, my new companion, says that they're probably going to be combining the two areas in the branch after this transfer, so I'll have to learn another area too! Whew! All in a day's work for a missionary. :-)
