Dear Family:

Kacey tell Coach Schultz i say Hi back! 

That service project you guys did sounds awesome.

1 Spiritual experience: Elder Stilger went home this last week and before he left I challenged him to give a BOM away on his way to the train station and he found a super cool investigator. He was really grateful I told him to do that. 

2 I read all of Mormon today so I felt really sad. I am almost finished with the BOM in English but I am also studying in German and I am only on chapter 13 of first Nephi.

3 The funniest thing that happened was a veganfest. so all the weirdos in Bayern were in Rosenheim.

4 I got a hair cut

So last  Thursday we started the new transfer. I will be finishing my training with Elder Evans so I am excited about that. Elder Stilger went home his 2 years came and went. Elder smith is TRAINING! so we have two Greenies in our apartment. The new Elder is Elder Bakewell he is from England and it will be cool because I get to go on a tausch with him and we both are bad at German haha but that is where miracles happen. It was also Elder Evans' birthday on Thursday and we had fireworks going off at Herbstfest. Thursday was great!

We didn't have very many lessons this last week and most of them fell out so that kind of hurt. We did teach one less active and her granddaughter is going to be taking the lessons from Elders Smith and Bakewell. We really just want to be teaching so we loaded this next week with lessons all over our area. We are going to kill it this week.

We went contacting on Saturday and in Alte Stadt.   We saw these huge horses pulling this wagon that was full of beer barrels. there was this band playing and guys cracking their whips to the beat of the drum.  It was really cool.

I gave my first talk on Sunday. It was about moral purity... in German so I hope I didn't ruin the principle of the law of chastity over the pulpit haha. I was throwing around words I didn't fully know the meaning of but I think it went ok. I am really starting to love the German language. I can communicate decently now and my accent sounds German so I really like reading out loud to show off haha. I still have a long way to go until I am even proficient but I really enjoy speaking now.

Love Elder Carr
