Hey all we are emailing earlier today so i will try adn get on again later to hear from you. the reason being is that the temple is closed for the next two weeks for cleaning. ha ha it is so crazy the time is flying by in here we are almost the oldest group of missionaries in our zone now. Dev i feel bad that you didnt get to spend more time in here. The spiritual experiences are just so amazing. i love it! Ok so did i tell you. Me and elder cannon (my comp.) were told last week that we would get the opportunity to be ushers for the new mission president seminar sacrament that they are having on sunday. we thought that was pretty cool cuz obvoiously there are going to be severaly apostles and more than like the the prophet in attendance. however we were told this week in district leader meeting ( oh yeah Elder cannon is our new district leader adn i am the new senior comp) but we were told as well along with being ushers is that we get to pass the sacrament during the meeting!!!!! Pass the sacrament to the apostles and mission presidents!!!! that is so out of this world!!!! We are going to help the Prophet renew his covenants. Wow!!! OUr district because of my urging are now in the choir that sings during devotionals. Way cool i love singing. my comp sings bass i sing tenor so we had to compromise adn we sit in the middle and sing the baritone part. so cool. well i will talk to you later as me any questions that you want answered and i will reply to them Love you all bunches!!! mom i hope you are feeling better. I prayed for you hard in my german prayers when i heard you had to go to the doctor. please be safe and know that i love you all very very much!!!!!!!!
hey dev! wie geht es ihnen? It sounds like it is going pretty good though with your new comp. the life here at the mtc is awesome im exctited for this weekend there are several general authorities here and i have heard a couple members of the presidency here as well for the new mission presidents training week. I get to usher for it. i think i told you about that. yeah i get to pass the sacrament to the apostles. but anyhow life is going great!!!! i watched the testaments on sunday (the one about the americas and christ coming) and i have no idea why but the spirit touched me so strongly. i was crying as jesus came up to the man and healed his blindness. I truly felt the spirit as if it were not just a spirit but rather a real tangible being. I cried the whole night thinking that any body could kill their savior their reedemer and yet he still showed the utmost love adn compassion. Ich wiess dass Jesus Christus mein erreter und erloser ist. Ich weiss dass er fur unsere sunde littet und gestorbet hat. that probably wont make any sense cuz we dont have umlaut keys but i said that i know that Jesus Christ is my savior and redeemer. i know that he suffered and died for our sins. I can say a lot more in german but it is hard to type i might buy a recorder here and record me saying some stuff and send it to you guys. i love this work!! I cant wait to head to germany. i know that the lord is preparing people there for me now. i talked to a lady while doing laundry and she gave me a refferal of her cousin that wants to investigate the church. Exciting day. So i weigh 151 lbs and that is solid muscle. me and my mitarbeiter (comp) work out every night doing crazy eight pushups and other stuff plus i run and work out with elder sonderegger (the army ranger elder) the food is really starting to get old here i poop like three or four times a day and i am so irregular ha ha. Dev my tummy is angry. ha ha so pretty much i bought a scripture case for my new scriptures and for my german ones as well. The saying on my shirt means Germany i love you. mom i really hope you get better. i will pray for you. 3 nephi 11 in german is awesome i read it and it gives it a whole new meaning. i have memorized d and c 4 in german and the first vision. i love it here and i love you all so much hope you are all doing well and may the lord bless you. ich sage im name Jesu Christi Amen.
