Im good. Interviews were good. We left at 8 a.m. and got in at 12:30. It was a long day. After interviews, our train left at around 5, and then we got stranded at the airport cuz all the trains were falling out. We didnt get home till 11:30. Nope, havnt got a package yet. Say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Trav for me. And tell him nervous is normal- he´s still gotta do it lol. Yeah, I saw Tucker and the American Idol kid (David Archuletta) during General Conference. It was pretty sweet. We were in Dortmund like all day Sunday, and Saturday night. We dont get to see the Sunday afternoon session, cuz its too late. Other than that, its been going really slow here. Companion and I are getting along great, but we´re not teaching very many people, if any. Still doing alot of finding time. Our investigators are so hard to get ahold of, and they never have any time. Germans have this thing, where if they have 1 appointment in a day, their day is packed. Its way annoying, cuz they all have plenty of time. But yeah, not much going on. OH. Story for the week: While we were in Dortmund hbf, there were hundreds of cops. Like, all riot cops. There were also choppers in the air and armoured vehicles. It was pretty intense. I guess there was some big nazi thing going on. It was crazy. But yeah, we had KFC and went about as if nothing was going on. K, we´re playing football today, so I gotta go. Have a great week tschüß!

So, the airport was just one of the stops of our train. And yeah, there was a nazi rally going on. Those happen alot. Easter was good. Went to a members house for duck, potatoes and rotkohl. It was waaay good. And yesterday was a holiday, so thats why Im writing today (tuesday).
Otherwise, dont have much to say, or have much time. Going to castle today. Nothing much happened this week. Got really cold again. Um, had a streetpreach i GelsenKirchen. That was nifty. I drew with chalk again. Did I already mention how President wants me to make a "how to" video for the mission so he can show it at confrences? Should be fun. Nope, ahvnt gotten package yet. K, gotta go. Have fun in Colorado! Schöne Gruße an the Fergusons! Tschüß!

So we´re both staying together this cycle of transfers. This´ll be the longest Ive been with a companion. As to BYU-P, Im still gunna try. Yes, I got the package the day I told you I didnt get it lol. I just hadnt been home yet, so I didnt know. Thanks abunch!. So, my birthdays coming up...just saying. I actually dont want anything. Well, thats a lie. I actually wanna get a new backpack, so I dont destroy the one ima give to travis (cuz, like, I havnt used it at all. Maybe Ill just send it home) and the one I do use has seen its days. Im not saying send me a backpack, maybe just alittle money and that should be the last thing you give me for the rest of my mission. But anyways, slow week. Was a little better, tho. Still teaching, like, no lessons and lots of finding. We think this cycle will be better, tho. As to MothersDay, We´re not gunna skype home. Ill give you the land line to the church like next week so you can start preping for that. Also got an email today from the mission with my release date and stuff. Pretty intense. They also were supposed to send a form that im supposed to fill out, but it wasnt attached, so not sure what im gunna do lol. Other than that, yeah. Today we´re gunna clean alot. Cuz we´re trying to move. And our appartment is falling apart (not our faults) so we´re gunna see what we can do. K, not much else to say. Have a great week! Tschüß!

Week was okay. Was able to have like 3 lessons this week, which is an improvement. One was with a guy on the street, another at an eating appointment, and the other was a set-up with jehovas witnessess. That one was pretty intense. They like to argue. A lot... And leave no place for a rebuttle. We just didnt say anything, and when we did, it was just our testimony. Pretty legit. We were explaining how the Spirtit confirms truths, and they said they´ve never felt that, nor do they know any JW´s that have. Pretty legit. That was prolly the more intense part of the week. We were sick for like 2 days, but it wasnt too bad. My allergies are finally kicking in, but I dont expect them to last that long. my throat is wicked sore. We also played soccer on saturday with some people from our ward. it was way hot & humid, but it was way sweet.
Austin is a champ. You can tell him I said that. The MTC is spiritually brutal. It makes you feel like crap. Im pretty sure everyone ive talked to has felt that way. But he still plans to go out, so thats legit.With the email from the mission, I just had my companion send me the sheet, and I filled it out. All's good to go.
Hey, you should look into scholarships for me. And if its possible if you can register me for the ACT without me being there. Thatd be cool.
I dont think Im missing anything. SO. have a great week talk to ya later tschüß!
