Germany Week 90--Ampitheater Schmampitheater

It sounds like you had quite the party this week. It's good to hear that Jonnypookins is super hardcore and gives good talks. I was always a big fan of that guy. I feel like I'll probably just be disappointing you on the 16th of June, so if you could just anticipate a less cute version of my primary talks, that would be greatly appreciated.

  This week.... Let me turn to the annals of the Daily Planner, wherein all secrets are just waiting to be unlocked...

 We've been working on this Broschüre project, I think I might've mentioned it - Our GML made these brochures that introduce us and the church, and we've been putting those in people's mailboxes, and just following it around doing doors. we got a new map of the city and are marking off where we've done. It's not the most effective work, but it's what we've got at the moment, and it's a good way to keep us focused on doing something. In Nienburg I did a lot of that too - not with the brochures, just with marking off doors on maps, and it really helps me to, I guess, feel like I'm doing something and keep on track, even if the only fruits I'm seeing are colorful lines filling up a city. Hopefully we'll find some more people through it too, and we're trying to supplement that with other, more creative activities too. We spent Wednesday in Leipzig having our Zone Training Meeting. It was nice. Pretty normal meeting...

 Thursday was our party day where we actually have appointments and get to teach. Bruder S wanted to talk to F's about charity because they'd mentioned the neighbor kids annoyed them. I was a little nervous about it, but it was a good lesson and they took Bruder S's comments well. Then we went to T another member. In order to spice up that lesson we used an old school Church Video that we found in our apartment called, "Are you Listening?" It was a party.

 Y not? Sorry if my letters in reserve are questionable....

 Friday the party just kept on going with me Tausching to Leipzig with our beloved Zone Leader, Elder Norman. I had a nice time with him, we tried by a lot of contacts, had some interesting discussions, one with Zeugen Jehovas who were proselyting on the same street, and another with the roomate of a contact. They were both nice though. In the evening and at lunch we had a ton of fun - Elder Baker and his companion are in the same apartment. If I didn't know better, I'dathunk everybody there was on goofballs. For German study I played scrabble against Elder Baker's toy dinosaur.

 For church yesterday we just watched the last session of conference. It was good. I'm excited to watch it in English later though. The translation is obnoxious to listen too just because you can still hear the english, just not well enough to catch all of it, so I always find myself switching back and forth on which language I'm listening to and missing half of the message. It was still good though ;)

 And today there's either some sort of Hippie convention in Magdeburg or the new spring fad is to just wear hippie clothes. It's pretty intense... Our branch president would be all over that. He loves hippies.

 Anyhoodles, I love you! Church is still true! Have a faaaantastic week!
