Hello!!!
As you probably have guessed, i am doing good! Great! WONDERFUL!!!!!! I absolutely love doing the work. As for you it sounds as if you are all doing well as well. Grillin`!!! that sounds American! ha ha well they grill here too when the weather is good. And this week the weather has actually been really good. I actually sweated a lot this week. Is sweated the past tense form of to sweat? it sounds so not normal. Hmm well who cares. I can learn englisch all over again. Have you had bratwurst and sauerkraut and sausages of other makes and sorts on the grill in favor of the World Football tournament thing? You have no idea how crazy the people are here about soccer. oh ya its called soccer not football. Its pretty cool they set up massive canopies and blow up big screens where they project the games in the middle of the city. Then everybody gets a beer and a sausage at half price. Its pretty crazy. We try and talk to poeple on the street and they say, "i have no time" "football is on" ha ha they normally say i have no time any how because they are not into discussing religion or something like that but it is going great. We go forward. We just keep talking to people sharing the Gospel, helping people come closer to the One who loves us most. Ahhhh. I love it.
Well that is good that the insurance is working on it. We mostly boogy around town with our feet and with the awesome public transportation system. Busses here are really good. We can talk to so many people on them and plus its a lot more effective than going door to door. I mean the people are already there and you can just say hi and then talk to them. you dont have to wait for them to open the door or wait to even have to see if they are there or not. Good stuff. Lots of success seen this week.
Oh mom question. how do you get pen out of white clothes? I managed somehow to misplace my pen in the washing machine instead of on my desk and i washed it with my whites. I got pretty lucky there are only a couple of blue spots on one garment shirt and one white shirt. Speaking of garments. I have not as of yet recieved the package from bamberg. hmmmm. i am down to like 4 pairs of garments. that equals either having to double dip during the week which equals smelly or washing more often, and option two takes more time, which i dont really have. So. solution to this math equation/mystery of less clothing than days of the week is....... dunno. i will work on it and take it as it comes. Ideas would be cool. Love you.!!!
We had quite a few fallen out appointments here this week. A couple of investigators who said that they cant meet with us anymore and stuff like that, however we had an amazing exchange with the Salzburg elders this week. I got the opportunity to work with elder ENSIGN. My old companion!!!! He is soo cool. We had such a great time working together again. He is really such a great missionary. We did some good work there in salzburg. We made out three appointments and we got contact information from a handfull of other people. It was great. They needed that. They ended up getting a new investigator, a man named Peymann, whom Elder Ensign and i made an appointment out with. Which is great. They were having a tough time there and not seeing a lot of success and hopefully this will get them pushed off in a good direction.
Speaking of pushing off, i have had diahrrea for the past week. I should stop eating fruit. Or as grandpa called them the hirshey squirts. But they gave us free cherries in church yesterday and so i dont think i will get rid of the runs for the next couple of days as well. Which makes it a little uncomfortable. i mean, with the heat and how much we walk and ya. it chafes a little bit. ha well if i think of anything else i will write it. I want to go tell president how much i love being a missionary!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
