Letter #19

hey family. not much time. om lets see. exciting things that come to mind right now since i have ten minutes. we were at the church as as we pulled up a member came to the window and was freaking out. we stopped and she started yelling in german i couldnt understand but she was gasping for breath and crying. so we hurry and park and unlock the church. she tells us the ambulance is coming. im like what for? and she explains a little but that vocab is way out my league so i just stand there. elder james asks if anyone has poil. i do so i give him my oil so he and elder fuller give a blessing he tells me to go outside and wait for the ambulance and flag it down. i do. btw its raining crazy hard this day and as im outside. the ambulance comes and i dflag it down. they pout her in and wait for a while trying to figure it out. finally they figure it out and tell uis where they will take her and they rush her off. scarry right? she is fine. she called us later that day telling us. she had a bad reaction to her meds and stopped breathing and crazy other stuff. this was thursday. crazy.

 ok well as for the rest of the week we have 2 new gators!! finally. we have taught a couple people and such but not our own gators we found and we started. not just crappy ones passed down from the zone leaders.so thats exciting. um wednesday ngiht we ate at one family aand they were so funny. thursday night after the crazyness we ate at the presidents house. we helped him move almost his whole house!!! lol. he asked for help and he wanted to move some desks around and some other stuff. actually it was a lot more but it was good to get to work and do stuff. i am now presidents new favorite guy. idk why but i am lol. he seems to just pick me for everything. tomorrow he picked me to be another priesthood holder to go visit a sister. so elder popp and i will be seperated :( and i will miss an eating app :( im not happy but he chose me lol. elder popp makes fun of me for it haha. other than that nothign exciting. just rain and cold everyday here. getting colder. um simon got baptised last week adn then yesterday he got confirmed, holy ghost, and prisethood all in one day!!! way crazy and way fun for him. we met his mom she is the coolest lady ever. his family has 10 kids. the mom is indian and the dad german. simon is 26 and like 4th i think. she wrote a book actually called "sari and sauerkraut" by catherine kaiser. look it up. its a autobibliography i think for the most part but with messages about how to raise a family and how the lord has blessed her and has been an influence in her life. no she isnt mormon. but she acts like one lol. the book is in english and german on amazon. i think its an e book even. anyway. ok out of time i think. um right now im off to bremen to buy some clothes because i need some normal shoes, other than running and church shoes. i need some normal t shirts that are cool. maybe. mostly though today im looking for shoes, gloves, and anything that pops out. the reason we are going to bremen for this is because there is a store that sells clothes suuuuuper cheap. so thats why im even looking to buy stuff. like shoes are 5 euro i think. and other thigns are 10 or less euro. super cheap. ok well thats all. oh wait. german tapioca...is really wierd. doenst taste like american tapioca and has a different consistency lol. ok now im done haha. love you guys loads. going to send some pics and i will sned some next week of bremen and al we do today. oh, so no package yet but hopefully this wek it will come. i cant wait for my scarf. lol love you loads.

Letter #18

Dear family,

 Alright, well this past week to be honest i cant remember much haha. thats why i write important things down during the week lol. well monday we finished emails and went to the church and then i got on emails and again  and chatted with dad. that was way cool. it made me happy. not much else that day. we went out that night adn played soccer with one of our gators. his name is simon. i think i mentioned him before. he is way far and actually got baptized yesterday. but on monday we went to this inside soccer arena. it had like 6 or 7 soccer fields inside and you rent the field and so the mor epeople who come the cheaper and obviously more fun. there were 10 of us i think. it was simons family plus us 4 elders and 2 other random guys. it was way fun. it was on turf and i slid and i paid the price for that. i knew turf hurts and kills you when you slide from baseball but i did it anyway. so now my knee has a huge scab on it lol. it was way fun. good workout and such. we even talked to one of the random guys who asked who we were and we explained and so next time we go and play (every other week) we will give him a spanish BoM. did i mention last week that germany is like the most insane place for immigrants?!? we meet more non germans than germans here. its crazy. thats why they have a wall of everx language BoM in the mission field office. its because they need them!!

 Wednesday, well every wednesday is district meeting. always fun to see the other elders and the sisters we have in our district. other than that not much. oh we played this finding game. it was our own version of amaying race, elder/finding style. haha. so if you completed a task you got points. it was usually like if you make out and app or talk to 20 people or teach a street lesson. stuff like that. so we played and it was for an hour. we thought we won but at the end thex asked us how we got such high point and we explained and thex chopped up our points because we were double counting. it wasnt our fault either because every companionship hasd high points and then got lowered becasue they didnt explain the rules correctly. we tied for second place. the sisters came in first.

thursday, not much. we chilled at the church almost all day because elder popp had to make a pamphlet for simons baptism from scratch with a crappy program on the churches computer so it took a while. friday, again not much. the zone leaders were gone so we were able to ahve the car. i ahd to watch a driver safety video that was actually not that bad. it was good. kind of funny. we drove around and had a couple meetings but really normal day.

saturday, not much. just weekly planning and again normal day. sunday we had normal church plus our extra hour becasue of day light savings. that extra hour of sleep was cool. church was good. we then had simons baptism which went really well. we ate together afterward. it was a good day. 

thats really it. a bit shorter email but with things calming down and such i guess its normal. i still need to write pres my email. 

um for other radom stuff this week,  I miss my car!!! send me some pictures. it would just be nice to have some to show. also drive him around a bit and then after check the oil level, and coolant level. check oil when its warm. oviuosly the coolant after its cooled down. down want someone to get burned.

is julie driving yet? and if not why not!?!

im a little sick. i dont know what it is. it started saturday with a headache and congestion and just feeling like crap. now its waking up to really sore and dry throat. major congestion at night and such. coughing. ya. not good. i take a suaphed in the morning for the day. i dont take one at night because its the 12 hour stuff and it messes with my sleep. i need to get PE stuff maybe. i have cold eze, but idk if its doing anything or if this is a cold. im not sure what it is. during the day i feel fine and then at night and morning it sucks. today actually it still sucks and usually by now im fine. so maybe its getting  worse. maybe not. idk. 

its starting to get way cold here. last few nights at around 7 or 8 its been at 2-5 degrees C. and most morning we wake up to frozen leaves.

ok thats all. ill talk to you next week

love you guy loads
