It is yet again Thursday. I have 11 days left till we leave. I think we get our flight plans today or tomorrow. Yes, i got my hat on saturday and my scarf on monday. The hat wasnt quite what i wanted, but it works and looks fine. Our devotional on Tues. was given by M. Russell Ballard. Thats 3 apostles in a row. I heard they havnt been back-to-back in a very, very long time. On fast sunday is mission confrence. I dont remember what happens, but my comp. is giving the opening prayer in front of the whole MTC, which means we get to sit on the stand with the important people and be on tv and stuff. Its been pretty nice here, weather-wise. We've played soccer the past 3 days and its been awesome. I found out im pretty good at it. Must be the German in me. Oh, we hosted yesterday. It was pretty awesome. but kinda sad. I hosted an elder and 2 sisters. ill prolly do it again next week. I talked to a sister yesterday whos going on the Baltic mission, but its Russian speaking, so I asked her if she happened to have any extra russian learning materials. She said she did and that I can have them to work on it. its pretty awesome. Halloween was pretty fun. Me and my comp. dressed up in a crazy costume (ill send pics soon) and scared an elder half-to-death. and we got (and got rid of) alot of candy. thankfully we're almost out. Um, i think that on Sunday let everyone know to NOT send me actuall letters till i let you know my address in Germany, and stop sending dear elders on friday afternoon (12th) because once im gone, they dont send me what i get here, so ill never see them. Anyways, im sorry to hear jake is puking his guts out. have him drink root-beer. And im glad to hear the yard looked cool. I want to see pictures from the church thing and of our yard (if there were any takin). Im not sure what else to write about. ive gained some weight, but i keep loosing it. So ive basically maintained the same weight the whole time, but i think ive gone up like 1 pound. And i eat like every meal. So, hopefully in Germany ill add more pounds. So, some cool stuff I learned about Germany: Their suits are tight fitting, so we'll look doofy with baggy slacks and coats. Christmas basically started there, so im not upset ill be missing a U.S. christmas. I found out that our mission also includes Luxemburg, which is a different country, so i might be in 2 countrys. When you first meet people, you dont shake hands, before or after meeting. Its very rare. Thats all I can think of, but i shall let you know when im there and can actually talk about it. SO, yeah, that about it. quite boring here. But i hope everything is going well at home and no one is dying. K, imma gunna go now. OH, p.s., im not sick. i havnt been sick in a while, so im good. K, thats about it, so now im really gunna go now. k bye
