Hallo. it is thursday again. It feels like i was just doing this, its going by really fast. So, to anwser questions: I had a real bad cold for like 4 days, but its just a minor runny nose now, so theres nothing to worry about. I tried taking sudafed (or however you spell it), but it didnt do anything. Yes, i got my candy for confrence. There were only like 2 things i liked in it. the rest went into our rooms little cauldron for Halloween (which the MTC does nothing for, so we're gunna do something ourselves). I do enjoy the care packages. I still have some pumpkin bread left, and havnt even started on the hot coco. I have not had to give a talk yet. Im just copying the subjects out of the German "Gospel Principles" book. I knew Elder Keetch knew Elder Prusse cuz I asked people who went to Highland if they knew him. Snow in the mountains was cool, but there hasnt been any since. Its getting colder, and our next districkt photo will be of us with the German flag in front of the Temple. Hopefully its awesome. Im trying to figure out how to send the pictures (cuz theres so many) Im not sure if i need like a package or several letters. ill figure it out. SO, some other stuff. Our distrikt sang on sunday. We all had colds and no voices, but it sounded really good. We sang "Hoffnung Israell" (Hope of Israel). Um, other stuff... I bought a shirt with my mission on it. I dont have it yet, but its really cool. it should be in like today or by saturday. they said it was on backorder. Im gunna start video-logging stuff and sending it to the guys so they can put it on youtube/facebook. Oh, Joey started a blog of my letters to them. I usually get dear elders from them, but I got a letter from joey and one from his mom. And I got a dear elder from giselle like 3 days ago. So, this past tuesday was our last day teaching in English. From next tuesday on, its all auf Deutsch. We officially stop learning new stuff in 2 weeks. after that its all review. Its so cool (and scary) to think that this time in 4 weeks i'll be in Germany. Im definatly not ready for it. But, no one ever really is. Its also cool to think that when i come back, i'll be able to speak the language fluently. Im excited.I have to sign up for a hair-cut for saturday, at 5:30 in the morning. which means i have to get up at 5. thats torture. So we went to the temple today. that was nice.  Ive gained 2-3 pounds. WOO. one of the elders in our distrikt might have cancer in his lymphnodes. hes had lumps in his neck, and the is the 2nd time its happened in 13 years. last time they had to operate. hes getting/got a catscan today. we hope for the best.other than that, i think thats it. me and my companion are getting along great. we teach in unison pretty well. our distrikt is pretty gute (good). we got new guys last wednesday, so we're the 2nd oldest distrikt. the 1st leaves in like a week or 2. new germans come in on the 27th (which was my alternative date), then we'll be the oldest. which means we leave 2 weeks or less after they get in. We leave on the 15th (monday) early in the morning. just be aware, the guys might come over when i call (not sure on a time, but will get travel plans a week or 2 before we leave). Ive got 6 minutes left, but im not sure what to write. tell people that if i dont respond to letters, its cuz im busy. im not forgetting anyone haha. im just always occupied. Oh, and do you know how to use the chat on the email? theres a way, but Ich weiß nicht how to use it. if you figure it out let me know. K, i gots to go know. Tschüsse! till next week
