Germany Week 16

OOh.. I´d practically forgotten about transfer calls. It´s a good thing you mentioned it. As you might guess from my having entirely forgotten about them, Things will be staying the same for me. Elder Ririe will stay with me in Bad Bentheim. The only change in our district is that Elder McCallister, who was my Distrikt leader in Elmshorn, will be replacing Elder Bossart in Osnabrück. I just can´t get away from that guy! ;P nah, it´ll be good to see him again. We have this crazy theory though. So you see - Elder Ririe is the District leader here, and Elder McCallister has been stripped of his District leader position - something which only happens once every other blue moon - But wait! there´s more! Midway through the transfer apparently 5 or so District leaders are dying (going home). So we suspect Elder Ririe will be siphoned off after 3 weeks to fill one of those positions, and Elder McCallister will reascend to his former Glory as Distrikt leader. Once again - I just can´t get away from this guy! so yuppers. I´m writing this email from Osnabrück, we decided to come spend our Pday here since we´ll never see Elder Bossart again - at least for the two weeks between now and President's interviews. So far we´ve done a whole lot of nuthin'... hopefully I'll have time to buy that wintery stuff, because this last week has taken a turn for the ridiculously colder. It´s really not too bad, but it´s bad enough that I´m really glad that I can write an effective run on sentence while still maintaining the intention to write what I had originally intended to write which is that I´m glad that I finally, after several repeated weeks of forgetting, remembered to include a question in my latest email ensuring my eventual ability to purchase some Mittel with which to more efficiently warm myself, a word here which I´m not entirely sure I used correctly, but if I did, it means basically what the context ought to imply. It still hasn´t snowed at all, and it´s just been hanging out around freezing. And the last couple days there´s been this ridiculous fog - which is actually super awesome. If you walk into a bunch of trees, it sounds like it´s raining all of the sudden, and if you're driving under them, you´ll get an occasional large drop of water on your windsheild, and I must apologize for my sentence structure, but you see, I'm just stuck in run on mode, which I certainly hope my loyal fan base is enjoying as much as I am, though If they find themselves unamused, I find myself extremely greatful for their inherent loyalty, as is implied in their title, which reminds me that the trees would seem to be collecting the moisture of the fog and dropping it onto the ground, such as to be comparable to rain, as is apparent from my earlier description - a description which was surely to be lost in all of the muck of the monstrosity that is this sentence - which again brings me to the idea that my readership is likely excersizing a great deal of patience in reading this overblown grammatical framework, containing only meager bits of meaning, and I must again thank them for indulging such an atrocity, an atrocity, which I will soon be bringing to a close as a concession to appease those readers who are on the verge of dropping out of the 'loyal' section, and perhaps even the 'reader' section.
As you may`ve noticed, I don´t really have that much to say. I can´t think of anything that happened this week that is worthy of report. Things are going pretty well - we´re pushing forward, but It´s time to get ready to do some harder pushing. We´re excited to really try to work harder and more effectively this transfer.
Wow - for not saying anything, I took foreeevvver writing this. I figure I´ll try to make up for my lack of substance with a few pictures I've managed to take. I won´t be able to take anymore until I manage to get my hands on either another charger cable or a converter deely from American to German outlets, because my battery is dead as a doorknob. Elder Baake had a compatible charger cable, but now I´m on my own.... ok, fine, here they are.
