M&M Letter #2

August 12, 2012

Dear Familie,

So I am writing this on sunday. You might ask, why do I have time on Sunday to write. I actually assumed  Sundays were easy… not. We are studyinf, in meetings, interviews, or eating. Oh and of course priesthood and sacrament. So I have time because Elder kincaid my companion is sick and is sleeping. I wish I could sleep, but Im trying to be obedient + work instead of taking advantage of the situation. Although I did nap a little. Long story about the illness but we think it came from elder q who had it when he reported. It’s a cold/sore throat/body pain thing. We are not sure but pres Dunn gave Elder Kincaid permission to rest during study time.

Anyway sorry for my previous letter. I was extremely tired, sad because I don’t have anything from home yet, and frustrated with the language. Yesterday picked me up though. I was really sad + tired in the morning but then our lesson went well in class  so that made me happy to see myself progress. I also had an interview with  our teach + she actually made me cry. Not bad, but goof. We talked about the saviors love and talking about it, her support, and me beinf tired  I shed a tear, but it helped me. Then after, and later that afternoon our lesson which we teach our investigator, IN GERMAN! Went better then Fridays lesson.I actually said words in that lesson unlike Fridays. The topping on the cake of support for the day was a poem written by a german missionary at the MTC which was given to us by our zone leaders as a pick me up. It was good until the end and then I just lost it. Obviously not balling infront of everyone (because im a manJ) but forsure I was crying, very spiritual + comforting.

OH, another awesome thing was, Elder M and Elder P are really struggling with German so we all participated in each of them giving each other blessings. It truly was amazing the love + spririt that was present in the circle.I love all of these guys.They are all amazing elders.

I love you guys so much+ I hope to hear from you guys soom and if not then, On Tuesday.
