Hallo meine Familie!
I can't believe Alex is going to Japan. That is perfect for him. I CANT BELIEVE MTSPO IS IN THE SEMI'S! that is crazy! Ja so the lady who sent You pictures was just some Mormon lady that found us going to distrikt meeting. Don't tell anyone this but I hate running in to American Mormons here. AMERICANS are so loud and it draws so much attention to us when they start screaming about how excited they are to see missionaries. It doesn't really help Mormons look normal to the Germans haha but I know they do with good intent. I can spot out an American like no ones business haha. The other Elders were Elders Evans, Smith, and Bakewell. We all serve in the Rosenheim Ward and live in a four man together except Elder Evans is in Heilbronn now. PS my package got here thanks so much!I cant wait to hear where Stefan is going. He is pretty excited I think. My Comp, Elder Kastendieck, is pretty cool. He only has about 4.5 months left on his mission. He is a fitness nut. We run Every morning so I have lost even more weight. I am less than I weighed my Sophomore year of High school. haha. I was about 175 LBS this week and to put that into perspective I was 193 the morning I left for England. I thought i was going to put on a ton of weight here but I was wrong haha. We eat really healthy at home and then we eat all the traditional German food at members houses and that the only time that we eat bad so it works out. Kacey Nice job on your tests! Jake sorry about your nose I know how that feels haha. I will pray for your friend. TJ bowling looked way fun! Thanks for your thoughts on gratitude.
Last Monday We had interviews with president and he asked me if I would want to stay in Rosenheim for one more and I said ,,ja of course I love it here'' and he was just like ,,ok we'll see what happens'' haha so I have no idea if I am getting transfered or not.
Last Tuesday had a Besuchsabend- so like a visiting evening? we went by in splits with the Bischofschaft and the elders quroum president and visited less actives in our ward. We went to Familie S. and taught a lesson about the family. The are both RMs and have 2 kids but they aren't married... Weird situation in my opinion. But we talked with Br. S. and he said that the ultimate goal was to get married so hopefully we will see some good progress there. We are going to try and meet with them this week.
Wednesday we had a lesson with Mo. and we talked about the organization of the church. We talked about prophets, apostles, 70's and everything else with scriptures to back up everything and she asked tough questions like usual. I didn't understand what she was asking most of the time so I was absolutely no help at all haha and Elder Kastendieck's brain was fried after the lesson haha. She came to church this Sunday so that was awesome. She has a lot of issues with the apostasy and why God would leave his church without leadership. If you have anything that can help me with that let me know.
Thursday we went to Tegernsee to visit M. and had a great lesson about scripture study with him. He said that it has been going bad with his scripture study and he wants it to be better. He also said that he wants to be active again it was a sick lesson. He than fed us and told us stories about his mission for about an hour. I think it is really good when we go over there because it reminds him of when he was a missionary and when he was taught by the missionaries. He is awesome. He also came to church this last Sunday!
Friday we had a member appointment with Schwester B. and I had the spiritual thought. I should her a picture of our family and then one of my senior pictures. (the one when I am by the Horses sitting on the fence). I explained about building the fence and how I needed my Dads help and instruction to build it and make it happen. Then we tied it in to how we need our Heavenly Father's help and guidance daily. It was a good spiritual thought.
Saturday we had a great day planned out but everything fell through so we contacted and did vorbei's.
Sunday I Had the gospel principles class and I felt like I was back in the MTC because I was struggling to get thru. My German was awful haha. But M. and Mo. both came so it was also a great Sunday.
Love y'all and can't wait to talk to ya around Christmas!
