TODAYS LETTER

well hello :)

This week has been a little crazy and extremely slow. but i am still whiped out which makes no sense. we did do doors everyday and all day, but still. somonday we had a normal day. we played soem darts in the absement of the church and some guy just walked in randomly to fill his water bottle. but he was nice enough to ask before he did it. we then had a going away appointment with the glücks witht he sisters. it was fun. We had some great spiritual thoughts and then br glüc gave a 20 minute talk on faith. it was great. We then picked some cherries for them. elder scholes and i hacked our way through 4 foot tall stinging neddle to get to the part of the tree we need to pick them at. i had shorts on. my legs were destroyed!!! tuesday we got to hamburg bright and early to send elder scholes away. i then was at hauptbahnhof until 1 when elder amrshall came. half of our entire zone was there ebcause half of them were getting transferred so we were all there and ahd a great time waiting for all of our new companions. elder marshall came and we then drove home.  we did some doors and unpacked and that was our day. i am having elder marshall drive this transfer because he needs to get to know the area just incase i get transferred this time. wednesday we had district meeting which was my first as district leader. it went well. the zone leaders were there which was fun. we set district goals and my lesson went well. i was happy with it. we then did doors the rest of the day until our appointment with a herr buhrmeister. he is cool. we basically did doors the entire day but then at the end of the day we were in one small town in the middle of nowhere and i see on our gps a skull and corssbones (our signal for innactive) and i was totally amazed because i had never heard of anyone living here. so i look and tis a family that i had been looking for for the past 2 transfers. so we decide to go by randomly. their son is outside and he invites us in. he is way cool . so he lets us in and lets his mom know. right then though his mom yells at her son to tell us to leave because she ahs no time. so he comes and tells us but we leave a card for him. we go and do some more doors and 5 doors in or so i get a call from a random number. it was the mother. her son wants us to come back and talk to them. so we come back and we have a great appointment with them. it was truly a blessing that we saw the family on our gps and another blessing that gandorin wanted to talk to us. it was great.friday we went to a district leader meeting in hamburg and that went well. we then did weekly planning. nothing special. more doors. saturday we did more doors. still not finding a single person who would tlak to us. we did have a spur of themoment meeting with carol though. it was great. bishop came along as a joint teach and it was a great lesson. we also met with the grabberts that night for what was supposed to eb a 15 minute quick lesson, that turned into br grabbert talking for over an hour. haha. sunday we had a great church. and a great eating appointment. i got a compliment from br warncke that i had really improved and that he had really recognized how much i ahd changed in the 5 transfers i have been ehre. that made me feel good :)

the entire week we have been listening tot he interviews on my ipod that dad put on them. they are so cool. we listened to an interview from a german and his story. it was so cool. really spiritual stuff listening to it in the car as we go. i love them thanks dad for that by the way. also the mormon messages. i watch them every night on my ipod. and the german book of mormon. everything on my ipod is awesome!!! i love it. thank you
