Germany Week 70

Wooheee. That week was sure a week. Uuuummm...

On Monday, the Lauenburg Elders came and we played Risk with them and our GML. It was kind of a last Hurrah for Elder Robinson before leaving Bergedorf. He was a good guy. I'll Miss him. But then on Tuesday we got around to picking up Elder Linderman. Eventually. It was quite an adventure of a day. First, Elder Robinson and I left - he went to Hauptbahnhof, but I got off at the Church and waited there alone until Elder Patterson, who had dropped his Companion off at another Train station came and joined me. Then we were together for a couple hours - it was a lot of fun actually, we made lunch, then went to Pick up Elder Baker, his new companion/my MTC companion, then they brought me back to Bergedorf, where I hopped on a train to Hauptbahnhof to pick up Elder Linderman. It was the best way we could figure it out with the least amount of alonetime. It was also an adventure. We've got a really cool district now.

 Then we spent the rest of the week walking around talking to people. yeppers. And we would sometimes talk to each other in between. After a couple days, Elder Linderman asked me, "Did you ever watch Card Captors?" And I was like, "Oh daddy, yes." I pointed to my name tag and said, "It's cool because Cloward is really close to Clow Card." Turns out he'd been thinking the same thing all along and was just trying to figure out how to wiggle it into a conversation.

 We were also able to get a few lessons in. That's always good. I don't feel like we're making too much progress there, but hopefully things will build up. Mostly I'm just in a really crummy mood right now - things get better as long as I buckle down and work through those. Otherwise it just keeps slipping along.

 One cool thing is that a couple 14 year old girls are giving a presentation on our religion for school, so they came and talked to some members and came to church, and they asked us to come when they give their presentation to answer questions at the end. It'll be exciting. I'm pretty nervous, actually. What if I say something stupid and all the 14 year olds make fun of me? But I'm also super excited. It'll be quite the party.

 Well kids, that's it for today. Love your guts! The church is true!
