hello family,
I love you all so much. and i miss the crap outta ya. the first week has been amazing. i have never been so tired in my entire life. i have been working hard and staying busy. i love it here the spirit is so strong! i love it with all my soul. I am doing laundry right now for the first time ever. its good i had to go buy detergent. O which reminds me. mom do i have money on my account for my zions card. there are some other supplies that i need to buy and they have scriptures here like the quad we were looking at, and missionaries get a 40 percent discount at the store. so i might need to get some stuff just wondering tho. anyhow i have learned so much in just the first week i have been here its great. i can bare my testimony in german i can pray and teach simple gospel truths all in german! My companions name is elder cannon he and i taught our first lesson the other day and it was awesome. we had such a strong spirit with us. we teach so well together. after we taught the teacher that was playing the role of the investigator said that we taught the best lesson she has ever heard. and she said that i have one of the strongest testimonies that she has ever heard. I feel so great all the time because of the spirit here. on tuesday we had a devotional by elder callister of the seventy. he spoke on testifying of Christ at every chance you get. so after we had a devotional review with our branch pres curtis and he had us share with our district of six what we liked most and our testimonies. that went well and i didnt cry. then, however, he had us instead of bear our testimonies he had us tell the class how we FELT about Jesus. just thinking about this made me start to leak tears and so the i started dripping while the three elders on my left shared thier feelings then he skipped over me adn had the two elders on my right share their feelings then i thought it was my turn but no he had his wife share and he saved me for last. I was bauling at this point and as i shared i struggled through what i wanted to say but my feelings were to powerful for even words to describe how i felt about the savior. i finished adn was still crying but so was everyone else in the class. afterwards my companion said that that was the most sincere testimony that he had ever heard before in his life. I dont even remember what i said. we only get a little while to write like thirty minutes and this keyboard is broken so sorry for any spelling errors. I love you all and hope all is well in the outside world. by the way thanks for the letters. you guys said you were going to write everyday on dear elder. i got zero letters whilst everybody in my room got letters out the butthole. i guess it doesnt matter i still love you and hope ya'll are well and you havent died or anything cuz then i would feel bad for chastizing you about your writing to me. well peace talk to ya later, as in next week.
Love Alder Adams
