Today has been completely awesome!!! Mom i have to just tell you how much i love you. You have done so much for me thank you for all that you do each and every day. I pray for you all the time and the fam. You are all very important to me. So i just returned from going to the temple for the last time. I stayed in the celestial room for a very long time looking at the picture of Jesus and praying really hard. I am definately going to need the help with the language and I know the Lord will be there to help me. It was a really neat experience today in the temple. One that I will surely remember for the rest of my life. so speaking of that. Yes mom i am going to send my stuff home that i dont need with marci. Could you tell her that i would like to talk and see when it is best to give it all to her on sunday. Cuz if i dont get it to her that would really not be good. You dont have to send me my gray pjs i have my other ones and usually i just sleep in my garments it is pretty toasty. Mom you have to tell me all about the Girls camp. If it will be better to talk about then we can do that on monday. i have like a three hour layover in atlanta so we can chat for a while. It is going to be an exciting day. i cant even wait till i get to go. we have been getting ready all week. We reset new goals these past two weeks to stay as diligent as ever possible and it has been a real success. We have been only speaking german the entire time. it is so cool. I can speak some german to you on the phone too. :) Love ya bunches. Ha so i will get back on later and write more love you tons!!!! My comp is done but we will be back at around 3-6 for laundry time Love Elder adams

Wow tell dev, those are some amazing stories. Im so excited to get out there and do the same work with the german people. Mom i know you love me the mostest. And i love you the Mostest too!! You mean so so so very much to me I hope you know that. Shipping to me in Germany is going to be expensive don't feel you have to do it a lot. I Love you and I am so very thankful for all that you have sacrificed to help me get here. This week has been amazing. Preparing to leave and get everything ready is awesome. I had some money left over on my blue card here and so i bought Jesus the Christ in german! ha ha i will be able to fully understand it someday, and after my mission it will help me keep up on my german. Im so excited to teach. Our teachers here told us to set up as many appts. as we could this week with investigators in the teaching resource center. We scheduled tons. some we didnt even have time in between to prepare, and by the way we are teaching all of these in german and completely by the spirit. It is so amazing to just open your mouth and be able to teach people about the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be able to bear testimony in a different language. I love it the spirit is always so strong. I cant hold back the emotions when testifying to an investigator about the restoration or about how Jesus Christus hat für unsere sünden gelittet und ist für unsere sunden gestorben. (Jesus Christ suffered and died for our sins) it is truly amazing work and i hope i will be able to bring this message to at least someone in germany. I know it has helped me and i know that it can also help them. So you ask what kind of food I eat here. they serve hamburgers a lot and they do roast beef and mashed potatoes a lot. Fridays they rotate between papa johns pizza and teriyaki stix rice bowls. Chicken is often on the menu as well in sandwich form or just chicken. The food is good here, that is why i am now 17 lbs heavier than the day i first entered. But again it is all muscle. have you seen the pics of me? Im a ripped beast. dad i think i can take you easy now. :) ha ha (oh the ha ha's by the way are me chuckling to myself while sitting here at the computer). But ya the food is good but consequently it forces me to make at least three return appointments with the bathroom each day, to teach either the First or Second Discussion. One time i baptised the bathroom (think about that) Ya times up love you all so much have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!
