Hellooo
      So, Im good. Week was pretty slow. For New Years we ate at a members house (schnitzel, carrots & taters) OH, ive gained like 13 pounds. Just letting you know. Then we cleaned all day, watched another movie at the church, went to bed regular time, and woke up at 12. IT WAS A WAR ZONE. So, Germany doesnt really have firework restrictions, so they just light them off anywhere they want. It was pretty chaotic. I got a cool video, so Ill have to upload that. Funny story about my package. So, as I am writing this, I dont have it. BUT, i got a slip to pick it up here in Erfurt. Apperantly it got held up in Customs, so I have to go pay for it. Next time you send something, be as vague as you can on the customs slip so I dont have to pick it up anymore. Its prolly the Ipod and new shoes. Apperantly that happens with new shoes...and mp3s. But yeah, Ill pick it up today. Sorry to hear about mckenzies sledding accident, but thats what happens. Sledding is a mans sport...About "Today I taught YW. We went over King Noah, Abinadi and Alma. My point in the lesson was for them to know that by living the Gospel, you can change one life, which ultimatly can change hundreds!! After Abinadi died, Alma preached what he learned from Abinadi and ending up baptising 450 people..which led to more baptisms later on... So, keep that in mind.. you may be there to change one person, which ultimatly could change hundreds of lives!! And that one person may not happen until the end of your mission!!' I actually read that part in Mosiah like last week. Im up to Alma 53 as of today, so im cruising right along. This would be my 1st time going thru it. So its starting to warm up a bit. I have no sympathy for the snow CT got, because we´ve been getting hammered. Um, yeah. Nothing really exciting happened this week. OH. SO I went on my first Golden split (thats with someone I was at the MTC with) So, while we were at the train station, some reallly tall & big guy approached us & started talking to us (Me, my comp, & 2 other elders). My comp and the other elder had to go otherwise they were gunna miss their train, so they left him to us 2 new guys. I couldnt understand him for jack. Luckily he kinda spoke extremly broken english. Unluckily he was nuts. Like, completely crazy. He was telling us how we can't go back to the US because its gunna have a big depression and a fault line is gunna break & kill everyone. So he was telling us to join fallout communities. He gave us a list of websites so we could arm purselves with knowledge. I set up a meeting again with him this thursday hahaha. OH, and during that split we went dooring, and I handed out my 1st pamphlet! WOOO. It was pretty cool. But yeah, thats about it for this week. Maybe something more exciting will happen this week. Apperantly today is stare-at-missionaries day. Its funny. Okay, im gunna go write & download videos & pictures, so ill talk to you later. Tschüß!
