Dear Family:

So we had another crazy cool week so I will do that cute little day by day thing haha:

Montag: we had another pretty chill p-day. It has gotten really cold here and many parts of our area already has snow so our outside p day activities are limited and Rosenheim is to small to have any cool museums so we basically chilled until we had to work. We then went and taught a lesson to Engelbert and he hasn't showed any progress the whole time I have been here but we decided to talk about Der Plan der Erlösung with him and he really loved it and believed on it immediately.  We then committed him to quit smoking and drinking and he agreed because he doesnt want to die haha thats basically his motivation for it but it is a great step. When we got home we did Bible prophecies which is something you do right before transfer calls. You pick a random old testament scripture and your comp translates it into what is going to happen to you in the next transfer haha. Its pretty fun.

Dienstag: TRANSFER CALLS: I GET TO STAY IN ROSENHEIM!!!!!! I am so happy about that. Elder Evans is leaving though. I am getting Elder Kastendieck as my ''Greenie Buster''. I heard he is really cool. He just finnished training one of my good friends from the MTC. He is from Canada. I will tell you more about him next week after I actually meet him haha.

Mittwoch: We got a new investigator!!!!!! his name is Dennis. He is from Milan, Italy and is living with some members right now. He has a lot of interest. He spent a year in a seminary thinking that he wanted to be a priest but he changed his mind and is now looking for a job in Germany.

Donnerstag: WE met with Dennis and Emily( Emily is a member. Dennis is living with her family.) We had breakfast and taught about the restoration and he took a BOM it was great! We also taught a less active lesson but I dont remember it very well... I broke into a fever while we were there.

Freitag: I had a tausch and I was with an Elder that likes to waste a lot of time. He is all play and no work. I was junior companion because he is out for a year already but his German is worse than mine because he doesnt use it very often and probably never does sprach studium. Anyway i took him to go teach Monika and he didnt even try to teach her in german. He went straight away to english as fast as he could and that made me angry so the spirit was nowhere to be found. He brought a lot of space doctrine into the conversation and with my half decent Deutsch, I had to try and fix everything. Ps she didnt come to church ths week and i think i know why haha. We were making such progress with her and i feel like after that one lesson we took a couple steps backwards. I made a pretty funny greeny mistake in there too. I told her that God has a body of flesh and legs. I corrected myself immediately but still felt like an idiot haha. Well, Was kann Ich machen?

Samstag: I took the Elder I was on tausch with and we went to Engelberts again and had a great lesson except I had to do all the talking. I felt like I was training except for the fact that this missionary has been out for a year. A frustrating tausch to say the least. Its amazing I didnt kill this guy actually haha. We tausched back in Munich and then went to a baptism that the sisters had. It was awesome. Ich will jemand zu taufen! so bad! I then got sick and slept the rest of the day.

So that last bit sounded really negative and down but I feel happy I promise. I saw some really cool things this week and tested my abilities to their limits and I am grateful for that.

I love you guys!
