Hello family in utah!!!!!!
sounds like everything is going well in your neck of the woods. I am sorry to hear that you are all falling apart and that you dont have DR. ADAMS there to take care of you. But that is ok. I know that the Lord is still watching over you. You are in my prayers.
As for me this week it has been going great. I am perfectly healthy happy and loving doing the work of the Lord. Actually not totally healthy on transfer day i stubbed my toe on elder wilcoxsons suitcases and i think i was pretty close to breaking my toe. It immediately swoll (that is not the right form of swelling i know but i dont know what it is ) up and then an hour later it was full of a good purple blood. But its all good now. Mom that means do not, I repeat, do not call or email or contact Sister or President condie about it. They already have lots of stuff to worry about and keep them busy and that also means my toe is fine. We Elder Hansen and I have been working really hard this week. But In the way of illnesses Elder Hansen has a couple. He has had a concussion in the past and so that makes it so that he has really bad headaches all the time. So whenever he is in pain we have to come inside and he has to lay down. He gets a little angry and he is short tempered when he is in pain too. I love him anyway. Its ok i get in more study time and i can call people and set up appointments. So he is a transfer younger than me and so that is super cool. I am still pretty young on my mission as well and so the young power is going to be rockin` bamberg!!!!! But the headaches hold us a little bit back but i dont blame him for that. We just gotta take what we are given, run with it and love it and work as hard as we can.
We had stake conference this week and president Uchtdorf came to berlin and spoke to the entire german speaking countries. There was a broadcast and that was so amazing. They announced that they were going to consecrate the land of Germany to the Lord because they had not consecrated it since East and West Germany were reunited. So president uchtdorf got the responsibility to do that. I cant Wait till the magazine comes out with the consecration prayer in it that he said so that i can read it. but at this stake conference he told the members that they need to take the burden of finding for missionary work into thier own hands. It was so powerful. They talked about power in the priesthood that we hold. and that we need to be better stronger more faithful members here in the German Speaking realm because prophets from Joseph Smith to Spencer W. Kimball have prophesied of a time when there would be hundreds of stakes in the German region. It will come to pass. I know it. I felt it in President Uchtdorfs voice. His German Speaking voice. That was so cool to listen to the conference in german. I understood all of it. The spirit was so strong. I took lots of notes.
Well not a lot of time today. We went to a castle today and it was awesome. Brother wolf, our ward mission leader took us there and we got a tour. I love germany it is so beautiful, especially because it is changing back to spring. kind of. Green is starting to pop out from underneath the snow and the weather is coming back out of the negatives. It is a great and wonderful life to be on a mission and i am greatful everyday for the opportunity to be here. Thank you all for your love and support.
