well sorry but this will be short. no time to write. so this week was great. two things that stand out above the rest. we met one man on saturday morning that came to church on sudnay and is meeting with us later int he week. we prayed for him toc ome and he rode the 15 kilometers from the city of boizenburg to lauenburg to visit our church taht he had only heard about the other day fromt wo young men who were strangers. it was so cool. and the most amazing thing is...he is 84 years old!!!! an 84 year old man did that! amazing. we also did service for an innactive here ion the area who i dont really know.s he is way cool though. sch breckwoldt. she really loves us now and we will be meeting with her more often for sure. and her son is on a mission so that is cool. no clue why she is innactive but she also came to church which was awesome!!!

so today was great. the reason i ahve no time was because we were in hamburg the entire day touring around. we took a boat (approved by our mission pres) around the harbor. it was totally sweet. it was free to, well with our day card, ebcause technically its funded by the same people who do the buses and u-bahns. cools tuff. the sun was shining and it was great. we then went shopping and with my new info of getting to spend more money i realized i still had 150 euro to spend. i had no clue what to do with it. amybe a new suit? maybe a new fancy watch? a few knives would be cool...nope. we walk into a C&A to look at new suits for both of us. and then the sisters inform us that on the top floor (this place has 6 floors) they were selling german clothing so like lederhosen and dirndl (the classic german dress for women) so we went upstairs to check it out just for fun and we decide to try them on for a good picture together. well we liked them so much we both bought a pair of lederhosen!!! 100 euro. which is actually really cheap for that kind of stuff. it was so cool. the sisters got dressed in the dirndls and we got our lederhosen on and it was jsut awesome. we got someone to take a pic of us but no time right now to download and send it. it was so cool. so now i ahve a pair of lederhosen!!! woot!!!

well sorry for the messy writing and short email. no time. love you all and until next weel.
