Hello everyone. :)
This week is a really rough week since I am being Transfered to Wiesbaden and have to say goodbye to a lot of people I love. I pray that all will go smooth.
Good:
- We found 2 new Investigators and 2 potentials.
- We have a super cute mini missionary from heidelberg this week
- I got hugged by two older Men in the ward Mannheim. Kinda awkward but cool, to know that they appreciated my service here.
Bad:
- I have to say goodbye to mannheim and All the People.
- I'm going to be in a dritt and I am not sure how to feel
- My hair is red, so I need to redie it. :P
I hope all is well by everyone and that this week is awesome for you all.
Bis Nexte Woche, (Until next week)

(Editor's Note: This letter is actually from October 13, 2014. I forgot to post it last week.)
WHolly cow. one week left in transfer after this. I am so excited, but also sad since many people form the zone is either going home or probably being transfered at the end of this transfer.
Bad:
-We missed an appointment becasuse we wrote the wrong date down
-the member who gave us that referal is mad at us
-geminde rat (ward council) was really sucky
-I got a promting to do something and it resulted us being with the elders all day..... :(
-A less active we are working with lost her job, car keys so she couldn't meet....
Good:
-Got a really cool blessing from the elders.
-Felt what the members say when we come into their home. Missionaries have a different spirit.
-Bore powerful testimony in german almost flawlessly. (thank you spirit)
-Got an appointment with a potential investigator who wants to learn english
-3 Families in the ward asked us for an appointment this week. So cool! Usually we have to ask them.
- Going shopping for winter things for p-day today
-Next week can't get any worse.... :P

Dear awesome People,
I think that it's really crazy that theres only 3 weeks left this
Transfer! I really hope that I can stay in Mannheim for a while
longer.
I wanted to do something Special this week and give y'all a
Invitation. I am starting to study chapter 6 in Preach my Gospel which
is about developing Christlike attributes. I felt promted to invite
everyone to study one of the traits and this month really strive to
develop that attribute. You can study using Preach my Gospel if you
have one, the scriptures, Conference talks, etc. I know that as we try
and develop these Qualities we will be blessed.
Attributes:
-Faith in Christ
-Hope
-Charity and Love
-Virtue
-Knowledge
-Patience
-Humility
-Diligence
-Obedience
In Preach my Gospel it states "Remember this, learning to be like
Jesus is a lifelong persuit. You follow Christ's example -Develop his
attributes- one Action and decision at a time." Don't get discouraged
when changes don't happen all at once. We couldn't learn if things
came easy to us. I am excited to hear about what you learn or how
things are better as you do this.
Ok back to the normal letter. :P
Good:
-Got our first referal from a member!
-That referal turned into a Investigator!!!!
-Got to watch 3 of the 6 sessions of conference and learned alot! Will
watch the remaining 3 during the media hour we have each week.
-the weather is normal finally. :P
Bad:
-The weather is normal for october.... which means cold and rainy...
- Our other investigator will be in China for a month... We will
teach her when she gets back though.
I think that's it. I hope that this week goes well for you all and
that you are well.

Conference was amazing. There were so many powerful talks. It went way too fast for me. I still Need to go watch the womens conference and the sunday afternoon still, and I really want to watch the priesthood session, because I heard from the elders that it was super super good. I learned alot and am excited to learn more.
They had the german Translation, spanish Translation, and the English. I am happy for that. I was afraid that if it was in german I would'nt learn too much. It was fine though. I think it was so cool that People spoke in their own language. I got a Little homesick knowing that you guys were watching the morning sessions both days at the same time I was. I am ok though. I was really greatfull for the Person who prayed for the missionarie's families specifically. I am so greatful for conference. I hope that waking up at 5:15 went ok... :P thats in an hourish right? :P that'll be 1 pm here. Oh! we were wondering... when does the time Change happen? and is it the same everywhere? Just courious. We would rather not wake up at 5:30 accidentally. :P
Well I love you very much. Send my love to everyone and give em all hugs!
