Hey Family,
So not much this week. well i
guess you could say the german tv crew was big but it seems like so long ago
its crazy. to answer moms questions in the email, no, i dont think i brought
that small duffel. i got the doughnuts. they were really good. My ctr ring size
is i think a 13, but im not sure. have you guys gotten both the letters i sent
last week? If not by the time you get this then hopefully later today or
tomorrow.
Thanks for letting me know abou
the updates on the german trip and whats boing on. i dont worry about it to
much, just get really excited to think i will be in germany in 3 weeks and then
to be able to go back, because i assume i will love it. so ya , way excited.
All the guys in the district hate it when the teachers talk about the missiona
nd germany. we are all so ready to go and teach and just get out of here. its
crazy. we want to go!!!! i am really nervouse to go and actually teach but i
know that heavenly father is there for me and if someone is so prepared to
recieve the gospel in their lives, that heavenly father will not let my lack of
german get in the way of them recieveing the blessings of the gospel. he will
be there every step of the way and i know that. i just need to trust in him and
keep working my hardest.
Ok so the "focus tv"
crew. that is the name so look them up. they are out of southern germany and
mostly austria. all of the 3 people that came are all from munich. The camera
man was way cool. the sound guy was so chill he was like just whatever lol. the
reporter was surprisingly very kind and genuine. it was really cool to see them
all and see what they didnt know and what they wanted to know. They came and
just recorded us having a small german lesson to see what it was like, then
they interviewed sister alder (our teacher) and elder kincaid and smith. Then
they followed us to lunch, and the mialroom. we were celebrities all day at the
MTC it was so funny. everyone couldnt stop staring at us while we were eating
lunch. It was kind of wierd. the camera in our face didnt help either lol.
after thye left everyone came up and asked us about everything and who the heck
they were and why. it wa really cool. one elder had a hard time with it. elder
T didnt appreciate the attention at all. he seemed a little down. i asked him
why, and he jsut said " i can see know why the MTC is so shut off from the
world.I can see now why they shelter us so much while we are in here" and
actually i could see it to. It felt wierd and just not right when they were
here. we are here to learn and grow and become better missionaries. any outside
or wordly influence just slows us down and take sour focus away from our goal
and purpose. Elder spackman wa right.
As for the ambassador, no go. he
never came. someone else was supposed to come and he didnt come either. i felt
bad for the other district because they were all excited, but they never came.
Yes i have seen the awesomeness
of the welfare system. i ahd no idea wha tthe church does and what the church
wosn to support itself and the members. it is truly amazing to see. That is an
interesting idea about the ranch in florida. would be cool and good to work at
such a large facility, but i agree, florida...ewww. only reason i would go is
for disneyworld and im fine with disneyland so no go there. tell me how it is
when you guys go.
Obviously from moms comment
about convincing julie to go on a mission she has yet to tell you about her
decision. she told me in her email she wants to. but idk. i told her it is a
great thing and the best decision ever. did you know you can be as old as 40
YEARS OLD!!!! as a sister!!!! max agae for guys is like 25, but for sisters its
like 40!!!! crazy. i met a sister that was 25 and we were talking about school
and such. she was way cool. and we mentioned to our teacher about her age, and
then sister A told us that 40 is the max age. crazy. Oh, so funny story about
that sister, we were talking and she was way cool and then at the end of our
onversation she asked " can i ask a really wierd question?" lol, we
said sure so she asked if she could have our address. she explained it was for
her sister at home who is 17 and it fed up with the rude and immature boys at
school where she is.she told her sister that she wanted her to find some
really cool elders who would be willing to write. we said sure and so
we are now all expecting letters. funny stuff.
Yes im still working out mom. we
play soccer on thursdays and saturdays, every other day im in the gym working
out running, and playing volleyball. As for the german culture day, kind of but
not a full day of culture the teachers just mention a few things here and there
and most of what they say is about the food and the bathrooms lol.
Thats a bummer keltona nd emilie have not had a
chance to go on a temple walk. it really is a nice way to wiond down and just
have a peacful time at the temple.
ok hopefully you got tha email, it sent
or just disapeared for no reason on the computer. idk. anyway, we get now
german elders tomorrow. totally exciting. we diont get to host tomorrow because
by the time we signed up it was full, but we are hosting next week and i would
like to every week after ward.
We figured out that we will not have
priesthood meeting ever again here at the MTC. Next sunday is the temple
dedication, which we get to watch. then its fast sunday so its MTC wide
conference, then after that its general conferenc and then done. We only have
one more real sacrament meeting to where we are possibly assigned to talk.
thats next week. so glad because its so nerve rackign when thye cakll out names
every week to talk in sacrament in german lol.
ok out of time. didn tget to spel check
anything because the computer sent it before i got the chance so sorry about
that, and im over time so i will send letters or something later if i have more
to say.
love you all.
Elder Ustach
