Germany Week 52

So I have once again made the ghastly error of somehow leaving myself only 20 minutes to write this email. Not sure how I managed that one. I hope that's the only ghastly error that I've made though. Man, that was crazy.

   The adventures began Tuesday morning as Elder Welker hopped on a train to Minden and I on one to Hannover and Subsequently Berlin. It was a crazy feeling to step onto a train in li'l Nienburg and step out of another a couple hours later in Berlin Hauptbahnhof. That was crazy. It was huge, and there were lots of people, and I was freaking out about training, and my brain was totally durcheinander. Let's just say Brian is going to have to find a new job. Joseph had said he would meet me, but we hadn't made any specific plans, so I was thinking a little bit like, "Is he just planning on bumbing into me... there are only like 3 million people here...." He did a good job of it though - he and his cute little bicycle just popped up behind us out of nowhere as we were waiting for the new Tiergarten zoneleader to come in. Weirdest thing of my life. But so awesome. We had a lot of fun. You people have probably seen that on facebook anyway.

4 of the 6 Trainers staying in Marzahn

  Fastforward through a couple of crazy cool days with Elder Clayton in Marzahn, and having six trainers together in that apartment Wednesday night - that was all a lot of fun. I could not sleep - I was so nervous! I would blame the bed, but I slept like a baby Golem in the same one the night before. I tried to calm my nerves by simulating what it would sound like if the Apostles were to play tag in the office. The other trainers must've been nervous and tired too, because they laughed a lot more than the jokes deserved.... 

  I just feel like a crazy as I write. Probably because I am.

  Then Thursday morning we had Golden Conference, which was awesome, but nerve wracking. We had a very quick training presentation of how we're to train, and then the new missionaries came in. Ohmylanta, I'm already out of time. I feel like you guys always miss everything because I'm bad at writing emails. Sorry.

  So Anyway, my new companion is Elder Pack. He's from Lehi Utah, he's super cool, and I'm going to learn a whole lot with him!

Love ya!

Elder Pack, the Kosaks and I
