So, its thursday again. This was a pretty good week. We taught our first lesson in the TRC in German. It went really well. We have 3 more tuesdays in the TRC, then the 4th tuesday (Nov. 16th) we'll be in Germany. We'll prolly get flight plans within the next 2 weeks. The MTC presidency cancelled Temple walks on sundays because some missionaries were meeting people on the grounds (we're not supposed to do that) and there was a lot of trash. So, thats a bummer. So, Im not sure if ive mentioned (but im sure I have), we have devotionals every tuesday night. Its usually a member of the 70 or the Presiding Bishopbric. BUT this recent tuesday, Elder Russell M. Nelson came to talk to us. My comanion and I were 5 rows away. It was pretty awesome. AND we heard from our distrikt president that someone big is coming next tuesday too. So, we'll see. I bought a shirt with my mission on it like 3 or 4 weeks ago, and its still not in. im loosing my mind. I forgot to weigh myself, but i think ive gained. I started playing soccer like 2 days ago, and its awesome because all the germans play. My legs hurt alot, but its fun. Our oldest distrikt leaves on monday, and we get new germans on wednesday, which means we're the oldest. Its scary, because after that point we have 2 weeks left. So, the elder with the neck bulge went to a doctor to get it checked out. the catscan showed up with nothing on it, but there is a mass still. we dont know whats going on. I got a new suit from our Aussie roomate/zone leader. It fits really nice. he just didnt want it. I started to learn Russian. It makes me appreciate German a whole lot more (ITS SO HARD) Tell travis to learn Russian. Its right up his ally. We did initatory (did NOT spell it right) in the temple today. I get my hair cut in 20 minutes. Im not sure what else to talk about. I dont need stamps. I just bought like 10. I also took like $20 out from my debit card. I think I did it right. um, tell Joey to just put up the letters or something. Tell him to just be bloggish about it. He should know what im talking about. Maybe take pics off facebook or something. I dunno. When I get to germany, Im gunna start video logging myself and send the memory-card home. Well, it depends on how much it is to send, but it shouldnt be too bad. Itll be like once a month. I still havnt given a talk yet. and theres only 3 weeks to go, so im on the edge of my seat. We loose another one of our teachers next week. We've gone thru like 4 teachers, not to mention lots of subs. We only have like 1 consistant teacher, and we dont even see her everyday. Half of our day is just like personal study. Im in the russians computer lab right now. Its soo cool to hear. And ive heard that Germany has a good amount of russians, so maybe something ill come thru. And, i heard if we're on the border of Czech Republic we might be required to learn Czech. I might be tri-lingual. we shall see. Well, thats all I can think of. OH WAIT. we got the flag to stay up finally. so, yeah. Now thats about it. NO WAIT. UM, could you possibly send me a Ushanka hat? like the cheap ones we were looking at when i was home. Something black or brown, preferably rabbit hair. Its gettin cold here, and my ears are getting cold, and the hood/scarf thing kinda takes up my whole face, so i cant talk and hear at the same time. I look retarded lol. OH, and maybe a black scarf too? Just suggestions. Well, that im sure is about it now. I gotta go get mein haerschnit (haircut), so ill email next week. Auf Wiedersehn
