Its monday! So, yeah, theres alot of snow (naturally), but luckily its not too bad or cold. Thanksgiving was fun. We made a duck, biscuts and I had a croissant. It was pretty fun. Ill send pictures at some point. We've also had alot of rain too. But yeah. So Ive decided that Germany is awesome. The history of Weimar is intense. Hitler gave a speech here at the Hotel Elephant (i took a picture). I guess it was a pretty famous speech. I tried 3,8% milk, and im pretty sure its the greatest tasting milk ive ever had. I can actually drink it straight. So, Germany has 2 days of christmas! The 25th AND the 26th! By the way, we need to set up when im gunna call home. I found crispy M&Ms!!! I havnt seen them for like 12 years, because theyve been hiding in Germany! And they taste just as good as before! Im pretty sure im gunna marry a german girl. Its already set in my mind. So, like matt said, there is no peanut butter. Or bagels. Well, I did find peanut butter in one store, but its uber small and kinda expensive. But, yeah. Its awesome here. Im starting to understand alot of what people are saying, but I still need some translation. And speaking it is coming along very slowly. My comp. goes home in Feb., so he's almost done. We have transfers in like 4 weeks. Ill prolly stay here, but no one knows. So, one of our investigators is like the same age as us, and we basically have the same interests. My comp thinks that the sole reason im here in Weimar or the reason he's even training at all is to baptise him. He's an awesome guy, AND I GOT TO PLAY HIS GUITAR. I realized that I have forgoten almost everything. I tried a Döner today. It has alot of stuff in it that I dont usually eat, but it was amazing. I had rotkohl (red cabbage) on thursday. Its soo good. OH. so during our english class on wednesday, the ladys we teach asked me what "Elder" meant, and because my comp was fixing something on the other side of the room, I had to talk to them. He was trying to see how far I could translate and answer without him there, and i guess I did a pretty good job. Then we just talked about missionary work, which I guess has never happened before! It was pretty awesome. Oh, and we have a goal to get a baptisim by the end of the week. Its big, but Pres. wants each companionship to get a baptisim by the end of the month, which is pretty intense, but we'll see what we can do. Oh, and the dogs here are so well trained. People walk them everywhere without leashes and they are extremly obediant. Its like walking with another person. When I get a dog, Im training it here. So, im sorry I couldnt be home for tanksgivin. I got a little tied up. Did you dish out my address to people yet? I want people to talk to me :(.  Did you send my jacket and ipod? And ill look into boots at sometime soon. So far i'm doing pretty good. So, i'm not sure what to talk about, seeing as i'll be calling in like 4 weeks anyways. So, im pretty sure that Germany is 6 hours ahead of CT, so If I call at 8p.m. Germany time, would that would be 2 CT time? Would that be time enough for the guys to come over? Im not sure, you can do some of the planning too hahaha. So, yeah, I think thats everything for now OH WAIT so on sunday, there were like 17 people at church! thats pretty good, but alot of them dont go to our ward, so im not sure why they were there, but im not complaining. Um, yeah, so I think thats everything. If not, ill let you know. But, yeah. K, see ya later. Tchüß!
