Viel Spass

Hey Everybody! What's up?

Life has been pretty good here on the other side of the world. The
weather is getting colder.... but that's ok.

Good:
- Getting along well with Sister Diethelm
- Had lots of fun making balloon animals at a Kinder Spectacular that
the City does and our stake had a booth. My fingers won't ever be the
same though. :P
- Found a potential investigator there!
- I made it through my first full week in charge in Mannheim

Bad:
- Am a little depressed, but am trying to fight it. Working with
president which is good.
- Elder B had to go home because of back problems. (He's an Elder in
our District)
- Our numbers dropped to 0 since our teaching pool is non exsistant.
Am praying lots and we are trying new finding tecniques.

Things are crazy, but totally worth it. :) I pray for all of you and
Hope all is going well, wherever you are at this point.

Viel Spass, (Have Fun,)

Heiligen Kuh!

Heiligen Kuh! Time goes fast. I can't believe that it's already 2
months into my mission. I am freaking out a little, but I am super
excited for this transfer. I have a goal to speak only German this
transfer since I have the opertunity to serve with a Sister from
Switzerland. She is so super amazing. I am excited to work with her.

The Speyer sisters area has opened and we are all really happy about that.

I am also kinda happy that the weather is getting a little cooler. I'm
not excited for winter though. It doesn't normally snow in Germany, so
it'll be freezing cold and rainy. :/ I'll get over it though.

Well, I don't have much time left. I want to dowload songs from
lds.org to listen to arround the appartment. I hope all is well with
everyone. Keep trusting God and you'll get far.

From the Valleys of Germany, Tschüss till next week!

Gott Sei Mit Euch, (God be with you)

This week is transfer week! Happiness/sadness.

This week is transfer week! Happiness/sadness.

Happy:
-I am staying in Mannheim.
-The baptism was super on saturday! G was so Pretty. :)
-I got to go see three castles last monday, and I get to see one more today!
-My new companion is from Switzerland which is really cool. 4 days
till I meet her!
-Elder Ballard is coming to frankfurt to do a Missionary Conference
thingy! So excited!
-Got a much needed blessing. :)

Sad:
-Sister Lehman is going home... :´´´´( Only 3 days left with her. (if
your wondering why the numbers dont match..... Sister Lehman goes home
on thursday, and we meet new companions on Friday. I am in a "split"
par say on Thursday.)
-My leg is really painful. :/ I got a really bad bruise playing
soccor, and it won't go away. I'm a little worried because it's not
just my bruise that hurts its the whole leg. I don't want to go home
if it's broken. :´´´´´(
-I was feeling really down over the weekend.


I hope all is well foreveryone. I am doing really well. The people are
awesome, the food is amazing, and the weather is nicer than it was. :P
It was really cold and rainy up till last week. It finally got warm
and sunny. I think it's Germany saying Goodbye to Sister Lehman, but
we'll see if it lasts.

Glücklich tag, Alles Gute! (Happy Day, All is well!)

Transfer 1, Week 6

Hey ya'll.

I don't have much time, but I wanted to say that I'm well and enjoying
life. I bought a "Tschüs book" (which for anyone who doesn't know what
that is it's a "goodby book" you give to other missionaries you knew
well when you or they are leaving the area). It looks super cool.

Anyways, the baptism is this week and I'm soooooooo super excited for
it. She is excited too. She has already picked out what she wants to
wear. Her mom is excited too. I think that G's decision to be baptized
has helped her mom. She wants to quit one of her jobs so she can come
back to church.

I've been really tired lately, both mentaly and physically. It's hard
to keep sad thoughts out of my head lately. I'm praying though, and I
know that the lord will help me.

This past saturday at soccor, (we play soccor with members and their
non-member friends to try and find new investigators. really fun, but
I prefer volleyball. :P), I was getting really into it, and got a
massive bruise on my leg. I hope it goes away soon, since it makes it
hurt to walk a little bit. Now You know, Don't play soccor with really
boney Elders. :P

Well I gotta go. Be awesome at whatever your doing!
