Dear Family:

It sounds like a lot went on this week to say the least. So I got a ton of "good looking wife" points this week. We went contacting and only found one guy last week. Everyone else were hating on us so hard. They didn´t just say Nein Danke, they cussed at us. But it wasn't anything I wasn't expecting.

 I have a pretty good story with contacting this week though. So an appointment fell out and we doored 6 houses and this old guy came out of the apartment complex. We tried talking to him, then he turned to us and said "Young people should be more concerned with football, women, partying, and getting drunk". Those were the people we dealt with this week haha.

 We did have a really productive week though. We have a new investigator that is showing a real desire to learn and I went to sleep TIRED everyday and I felt good about my efforts at the end of the day. I am starting to understand everything in German the trick now is to be able to speak it which is a whole other animal haha.

I had Tausch with Elder Smith (in my apartment) this week and Elder Stilger and Elder Evans went hiking with some of our investigators and they came back home with 300 euro worth of Steinpilze (really fancy mushrooms) that we ate for dinner... I hated them. It made it hard for me to mushrooms at a members house later in the week but I will survive. I know that other missionaries out there are eating way worse haha.

I love and miss you guys so much!
