So ya this week was awesome! as always. we didnt get to really celebrate new years. Much to much to many drunk people outside. we were allowed to work till around 7 o clock though and that made me happy. it was raining like crazy but people were still shooting off rockets the size of texas. it was so loud and it would just eco through all the streets and stuff. it was really cool though. After we had to come in i cleaned the apartment and updated the area book and called people and made out appointments. I am just way too effective as a missionary. we still had like an hour left over before we were supposed to be in bed so we just chatted and ate the candy from chelseas package that she sent me, and worked out the whole time. I did three hundred pushups. Ya arnold schwarzanneggers got nothin on me. anyhow we went to bed on time and it took me like ten minutes to fall asleep, and I am suprised but i slept through the whole night. i didnt even wake up when everyone went crazy with the fireworks. But it was cool. The morning after The couple missionary here Elder and Sister Mangum invited us to breakfast and she cooked us french toast and bacon. Then we taught her a german lesson. Ya who would of thought that i would be teaching german. We have been going to her like once or twice a week for the past couple of weeks because she has been here as long as i have and she is still having trouble with the language because older missionaries dont get the opportunity to have the mtc. So she has been super greatful that we have been teaching her. Which kinda makes me sad that i am going to have to leave this place. What? did i say that out loud?! ha ha ya my time here is up. After spending a quarter of my mission here in salzburg President condie has decided that my missionary skills are needed in Bamberg, Germany. I am actually pretty excited. Every missionary says that it is the second prettiest city in our mission next to innsbruck. Salzburg is third by the way. But that is not what i am most excited about. In bamberg they just had a baptism and if they did it right then the person who just got baptised should have invited all of his friends to his baptism and in return we should have quite a few new people to teach by the time i get there. Im stoked. I get the opportunity to work with Elder Wilcoxson. He was Elder Ensigns companion in the MTC. Cool right.
this week was pretty tough. Nobody really had time for us becuase they all had holiday and time off work and so we didnt see a lot of success this week. Its kinda discouraging, but we pushed through. I gave it my best every day from 6:30 in the morning to 10:30 at night. oh i got a firecracker thrown at me on new years eve. that was excting. I was getting pretty stressed out this week because of transfers and i knew that i was going but i didnt want to leave this wonderful place. the people here although they hate us and despise the work we do or the name we carry, i have grown to love them because i want to help them. It tears my heart out that they reject their saviour and reedeemer but it makes me want to try all the more.
I had a wonderful fast. thank you for letting me take part in that with you. When there is anything else you need then you could just ask me and i would gladly do it. I love you all. cant talk much more because we are going to go spend our p-day with my favorite family here in the ward (the ibbetsons) they are taking us sledding while their kids take a ski course and then we are going to help them paint their house. Wow they are soo cool. well next time you here from me i will be in Deutschland! tschüß! Ich liebe euch!
