St. Johns, Newfoundland

Hey I'm sorry but i'm just going to send you all one giant email this week. Why? because we are having a huge storm today and the entire city is shut down, so four of us are here sharing two computers. anyways, please give this to dad and jaren. so the new area of ST. John's is way weird to me. not only the people but it is the biggest city in newfoundland and a pretty big city so that is nice. it was just strange coming from yarmouth. my new companion is Elder Roskelley he is from huntsville utah. he has been out only 3 months longer than i have. I am right on the coast again, it is pretty neat though. i'm as far east as you can possibly go on this continent!! i thought that was pretty cool. so i'm hoping to see at least one polar bear, i hear it is rare but sometimes they float in the harbor on glaciers. which are very popular here. i am staying warm although it is pretty cold and lots of snow!!as far as the package you sent me, i kept all the necesities but gave out most of the food to the ap's and other elders who were not going to the rock. i did get to keep a lot of it though so don't worry about that one. thank you for the package. president jacobsen usually keeps missionaries on the rock for at least 6 months just because it is so expensive to get here. so i will be here for a while. it is a branch out here with about 55 members, but we have a nice church building just a mini version of the one in liberty lake. Good luck with you marathon you are going to run, i will pray for you lol. that is funny that carli cannot graduate yet. and tell all the kids good luck in all that they do and keep having fun. DAD-yes we now have a newfy in the family. you would not believe how hard it is to understand these people. some are worse than others,but they have so many funny sayings. i have picked up on a few but they all talk so fast and slur their words. lol. that is a pretty cool missionary opportunity you got to have with that lady. it just goes to show how much our examples as members of the church can affect people. i have found that being an example is the best way to introduce people. that would be way sweet if she let the missionaries come by and teach her a bit. Sounds exciting that you might be getting a new part time job, i hope that works out for you and everything goes better than the previous times. as for hawaii i hope you think of me while i'm here in newfoundland, in snow up to my eyeballs!! mean while you will be on the beach, lol. i don't really care. honestly i think i would rather be here right now. i love it here. i found it hard the first few days, but i'm in the swing of things now so life is good. as for you rubiks cube skills i can't wait to get home and race you and jaren. i was unable to buy one out here just because we have to keep our bags under 50 pounds for when we leave, and i want to make sure i get some sweet stuff from this sweet place. i really love it!!!well fam, i love you all and sorry this one was quick. oh and please send lexi my apologies tell her i was rushed this week but i will send her a letter. love elder NIck Novakovich
