So, its thursday again. I dont get my Germany address till im in Germany, so i'll know in 2 weeks and 4 days. Thank you soo much for the hat & scarf. They will be put to good use. We had snow like 2 days in a row. Most of the mountains are covered, but nothing is sticking here. It stuck one night, but it melted in the afternoon. As  for Tuesday devotional, Elder Richard G. Scott came and gave an awesome talk. it was basically everything he learned over his life about feeling & working with the Spirit, and we have it all on paper. AND he used his priesthood keys (which are all of them) to invoke on us foreign-serving missionaries the Gift of Tounges. Now usually, we dont get the G.o.T. till we're in the field, but he gave it to us 2 weeks early. Its pretty awesome. We got a new shipment of newbs yesterday. Theres about 32 of them, so theres about 60-something in our zone. The Elder with the neck thing has been doing alot better. Im not too sure whats still going on with that. Last week one of our elders went home to work something out, but he will be going to Germany. Dont know when, but he is going. Not quite sure what else to talk about. Most of everything we do is in German now. We have 2 more TRC's, which is where we teach a random investigator. Our last 2 are on the Plan of Salvation, in German. It flows really easily now. Yesterday me & my comp had a teaching appointment (we set those up) in German, and the whole time it just sounded like english. Well, not like english, but I could understand everything we were talking about. Im getting better vocab-wise. We are finishing learning all the principles we need next week, then its all review. We should be getting flight plans really soon. I'll prolly send more pics towards the end of our stay so I can start fresh when we leave. But, yeah. So, my compainion has figured out you can slip silverware into people's pockets without them knowing. Ask the elders at home if they have experienced this. its pretty funny. He's also working on name-tags. that ones a little more tricky. So, one of my teachers told me shes doing a school thing at Yale during the summer, so I told her to go visit you, so if a random blonde girl appears at the house one day, dont be alarmed. Soccer was fun while it lasted, but they've closed the field cuz its getting too cold out. OH, and i did get the candy package! My roomates are very grateful haha. We're gunna have soo many people trick-or-treating to our room. we have a huge candy drawer, but alas, it is slowly depleting. which is fine. So, i hope things are going well at home. hope no one has gotten suspended yet. Hope the guys arnt causing too much chaos in the neighborhood. Tell everyone at church and stuff I say hello and would love to get more letters so i can show them off to my distrikt. well, thats all i have to say about that. Only 2 more thursdays here! K, im gunna go now. Tschüss!
