Liebe Leut',
Servas! Hay well this week was mega intense. Wicked busy is what we have been and i believe it will only get busyier. I dont know how to spell. Well i bet you never would have thought but i was able to go to switzerland. I got to do exchanges with the zürich zone leaders. I was able to work with Elder Baird, in Winterthur. That is such a wonderful city. I also got to work with elder simon again. He came from wien to work with us here and we had another wonderful exchange. i love working with so many great Elders. We had mission council this week. and mission tour last week. Mission tour is where a member of the 70 comes and teaches us. Elder Tiexiera came and taught us. He spoke a lot about obedience, which is sad. I learned a very cool meaning of the parable of the talents. The parable of the talents is how the Lord was trying to teach the disciples of that time and in our time about Leadership. When we are given something to do (a talent/an area/ a calling) then we are supposed to return it back to him with an increase. The Lord is not satisfyed with the status quo and that is why he expects great things from us. I Learned a lot more in addition to that. Mission council on the other hand is where we get all the zone leaders gathered together and they come here to munich and we and president condie get to teach and talk to them about how we can help the mission. It was so amazing. We had a prophetic time. Talking and setting plans into action to help the missionaries in the whole mission reach the potential that they can reach. It was great.
I sent pictures of my shoes. they are the new ones you sent to me. The black ones i did not get repaired because they are not totally broken yet but they are well on their way because they are also starting to crack. The Brown new ones i got repaired and they are good now. i can walk in them. They were splitting all the way through but the repair man back in wien glued and sewed the crack shut and then put a new sole on it and it is pretty decent.
elder Christensen is my companion. We are having a good time. We dont come to taking too many pictures here is the only one of us so far.
This week is also transfers, we had to plan that with president condie, and tomorrow we will be calling all of the elders and sisters that will be going. That was lots of business, and then in a couple of weeks we will be having zone conferences and that will be intense 7 zones in a couple of weeks. that will be a little bit of planning, but im stoked. I hope i stay and i hope all is well with you.
I got a package from The ward. That was super great Tell everybody thank you. That really made my day and the candy brightened the lives of little children in the ward. I ate it too. we had a party. there are so many adventures and stuff that we have done and experiences that we have had but it is time to go. ya'll can read my journal sometime later. I love you have a great week.
Love Elder Adams

so president condie lives in the mission home which is a street away. We live in an apartment that is attached to the mission office its a pretty decent apartment. Thanks for the email. I dont really need anything. I almost froze my toes off the other day i was on exchange in switzerland (by the way the cheese and chocolate is amazing there) and we did some street contacting for a couple of hours... ya i wear my boots all the time now. speaking of cheese, we buy a new exotic cheese every week. there have been some bad ones and some good ones. but we are becoming cheese connisuers. Thanksgiving went great. we ate at the institute center with all the young single adults. It was ok. they tried to cook for too many poeple and the food got cold but we also got invited to an american member families house and that was also good. We met their neighbors and that was the coolest part because we got to do missionary work. I love being a missionary!!!!!
Ciao!!!!!!
