Letter #30

dear family,

 i got transferred!!! trust me im as amazed as you are. probably more. i was only here in forst for 1 transfer (6 weeks) and then i got moved. it makes no sense at all, but most of the time we dont see things as the lord does so we just have to trust in him and go with it. and thats what im doing right now. just going with it and doing my best. im sad about the transfer but actually very excited.

dangit i alway forget to say where im going....LAUENBURG. its a little east from hamburg. my companion is elder gochner who is only 1 transfer older than me. so that should be loads of fun. he is also the district leader. which is way cool.elder gochner was in the MTC with me and was my zone leader. so way cool guy and i already know him a little. we have a car!!!! stoked about that. hopefully i dont get fat with a car and not walking everywhere. i have heard absolutley nothing about the city other than the ward has about 60 active members. so about the same size as oldenburg in the size of the ward. maybe even a little bit bigger. only other thing i have heard is its beautiful and that they already have an investigator on baptisimal date and another one who will soon be on baptisimal date. so my goal whne i get there...dont mess it up. haha. im super excited though. should be laods of fun with him in lauenburg.

well this week was just a normal week. we went on exchanges with a youth and a man from the elders quorem. some appointments fell out but thats normal. but we are really making some progress with innactives. this one innactive is an alcoholic and he relapsed last saturday. so we didnt see him at church last week and we tried going by him but he wouldnt answer. no phone either becuase it would just go to voice mail. so we were really worried he was in the hospitol or something. finally we go by saturday and he is there!! he was really sick but he was there and he was sober. and then he came to church the next day eventhough he couldnt speak because he lost his voice and was still sick. but he came to church. so cool. other news this week was really just getting transferred and thats really it. oh the cold came back :( it got cold on like tuesday and then snowed and then continued on and off for 3 days or so. so now we have snow again and really cold. kind of a bummer but oh well. thats really it.

  i love you all :)
