Sorry its taken so long to write- ive been a tad occupied. On pday I was kinda rushed, so i had like no time to do anything. Then on Tuesday we had to clean our car for zo-ko inspections, shop for food, and do other stuff. On Wed. we had zo-ko, which was pretty sweeet. I got to see a couple of the guys I came in with. Then right after I had a split, and I wasnt in my usual area. Now its Thurs. and Im letting you know Im still alive. On Fri. I go on a split with the Zone Leaders, then Sun. is Stake Confrence, and on Mon. we´re going to Frankfurt for the day. Last week was pretty good. General Confrence was done alittle weirder cuz of the time difference. We only got to watch 3 sessions, but we´ll see the others at aonther time. The priesthood session was from like 1-3 in the morning, so we watched it the next day in Friedrichsdorf where we could watch it in English. We had a BBQ on Sat. with a family from our ward. Im pretty sure I put pics of them on Facebook. It was pretty sweet actually being with a member family. I got to play a guitar there, so I was happy. Actually, theres quite a few Ive been able to play, so its exciting. Except that I can barely remember how to play songs, so Im trying to remember. They come to me as I just play random notes, so thats good news. The weather has been absolutly awesome. Its rained a couple times, but thats about it. Its been an average of like 70 degrees, and my allergies are starting to come in :(. It stinks, but Ill get over them just like I have in the past. OH YEAH. So, on pday we had...PIZZA HUT. I: WAS. SO. HAPPY. I didnt think Germany had it, BUT THEY DO. Ive actually seen 2! AND A KFC. I love the west. I almost bought a new suit too, cuz I left my other suits in Weimar. I still have my 1st one, but the others were too big...and I couldnt fit them in my suitcase. This just gives me a reason to get a European suit, but Im gunna kill this one first. And on Thursday an Elder that went home a few months ago came to visit with his father on their way to China. It was way sweet. We fit 6 people in a 4 person mini-cooper, and ate out at a legit German resteraunt. I had Jäger schintzel, which is just schnitzl with a really good sauce and some small mushrooms. It was awesome. Im also certified by the church to drive now, so I can drive until I need to get my German DL, which I was gunna take money out for soon. Apperantly its like €30-40 for the test itself, then the other €130 for the license. I should have it covered. Speaking of gay people, Theres alot of them over here. But its not like it is in the States. They´re way nice and most of the time you cant even tell. My comps had to tell me who is, and I didnt even recognize it. They´re way cool. But yeah, sounds like everything is going pretty well back home. We have a couple people that we´re teaching, and hopefully we´ll get acouple of them baptized. One of them wants to, but he´s part of the Unity Church (look it up, its wacked). One of their core beliefs is that Satan had sex with Eve, and thats why they wore fig leaves. They also believe that their leader, Rev. Moon, is finishing Jesus´ mission cuz he (Jesus) couldnt. Its way crazy, But he came to Gen. Conf. and that was good. But yeah, the language is still a little slow, but I think Its helping having a native companion. Im still working on getting a letter to Travis, ive just been way busy. Tell him I said late Happey Birthday and I should be coming up with something soon. I think thats it for now. If I dont write on monday, its cuz Im in the NYC of Europe and I was busy. But it should be okay. Okay, have a nice week! Tschüß!
