February 27, 2012

HEY GUESS WHAT
SO, my return date changed again. Ill be home either the 30th or the 31st of August. Next cycle is another 5-weeker, so they keep cutting me down. So, companion and I are great. We get along pretty well. His name´s Elder Owens. He´s from South Dakota. He likes movies and everything. He wanted to go into film, but he´s not sure now. As for teaching, not so good. We have like 5 or 6 investigators but haven't been able to get in contact with any of them, so its been a lot of finding time. And yes, we have hot water again. Last pday was good. Our district is pretty cliquey, so Elder Owens and I usually just hang by ourselves. Not like the other districts Ive had. The districts from when I was in Mannheim were the best by far. Elder Keetch is coming back out in 2 weeks! D. Todd Christoferson is here next week. That´ll be cool. Its starting to warm up here. Oh, do you think it would be possible for me to get a little personal money? My companion and I are broke, and we have no food..Or toilet paper. The ward here is very old. And they don't really like us that much. They have no begeisterung for missionary work. We also don't have a ward mission leader. It pretty much stinks. I don't like it up here. Id rather be back down south. I'm going to try to go back to Weimar to end my mission. That would be sweet. Today for Pday we don't have anything planned, so we can just ausrüh. That's always nice. I think that's everything. I'm still working on my license stuff. The office told me to retry in Ktown, and I was like, *sigh* alright. So I did. Turns out in ktown it would have only taken me like 5 weeks to get it, so I was way pumped. So I got all the paperwork and everything ready to go, and I got transferred. So, I'm basically really ticked, cuz its almost been a year and I have nothing to show for it. And They told me I cant get the reimbursement of the 200€ Ive spent on this thing, cuz its "past the date of reimbursement" I'm still trying, but I'm just about ready to give up on it. its been a fruitless endeavor. Anyways, not much else to talk about. OH. TELL CHAD THAT I SUCK AND WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Ive been in such a rush, and its always on my list of things to remember, but whatever gets on that list I don't ever remember. So tell him that. K, ima go now. Have a great week! Tschüß

 only have 13 minutes. gotta catch train. doing good. I'm jealous of them Travis and Chad being able to see Elder Holland. You asked what Joint teaching is...joint teach is someone who goes w/ missionaries to teach someone. We are going bowling today. Its a massive holiday today, a lot like Halloween. My companion had to shower with a ladel cuz there was no hot water. Eating really healthy now and drinking protein. Salmons pretty good. Working out every morning and night. gunna get buff. 6 months till sexy. k tschüß

 Don't have a lot of time today, we´re pretty stressed on time. So, yeah, so far things are great. I think I was just upset to be whitewashed again, and it was like watching all the hard work we´d done get flushed down the toilet. But yeah, things here are going really well. We actually do get along great, maybe it was just the beginning of the mission or something, but then, it is only 5 days in, so we´ll see. We almost set a baptism date on Saturday night for this coming saturday, but our joint teach ruined it. Our goal is 6 baptisims this cycle. We´re pretty sure we´re gunna get it, its just gunna take a butt ton of work. The weather here is still freezing, but one gets kinda used to it. Now how would I hear that Shalese is gunna be an aunt? I dont get letters anymore. But yeah, pretty uneventful week. Just trying to get adjusted to the new area. Oh, we´re gunna see D. Todd Christopherson in a couple weeks. Cool, gell? Its just for our 2 zones (Dortmund & Düsseldorf) So itll be sweet. K, gotta go to Dortmund now. Tschüß!

  Last weeks pday was also kinda fail. I actually cant remember what happened lol. But yes, im alive. Its butt cold here. We're getting the weather from Siberia (its always -7 or lower) so luckily we were sharing the car w/ the other elders. But that doesnt matter anymore. Im getting whitewashed. Again. With a companion I already don't get along with. So, im not overly in the best of spirits. This will prolly be a tough cycle, but we´ll see. The dang sisters are getting our apartment. It stinks. None of this makes any sense. gah. Other than all this, I guess im doing okay. Im sending a package home, so you'll get some sweet german stuff. DONT BREAK ANY OF IT. Its snowing right now. I also didnt have any time to write yesterday, so thats why you're getting it today. Its also very hard to write on an american keyboard. I must type very slow. And yes, I did get the stickers and the article you sent me. I had a really big hat in that picture. Yeah, Im not sure what to write about, except that its cold lol. Apparantly theres also been an increase in neonazi terrorist activity, so thats always fun. The usual car bombing, house-burning, turk-killing stuff. Its pretty crazy. Okay, i gotta go finish packing and stuff, so ill let you know how transfers go...if i surive. Chao
