Hey! Can you believe that I have been gone for one year? Where
has the time gone? I am not going to lie it is a little crazy. I was
thinking about what I was doing one year ago and it seems pretty crazy
to think I was going into the MTC. Strange. I have learned so much and
done so many things I never imagined I would do. But I am so happy I
came here. There is nowhere else I should have been for the last year.
This is where I was meant to be. I know that 100%.
Hump Day wasn't anything special. We had an eating appointment
with the T family. He is the coolest man
ever. I think he would be the equivalent of the German Chuck Norris,
and probably the best memeber missionary I have ever met. I think since
I have been here he has given us 2 or 3 names of people he's talked to
about the church, and have given away at least a half dozen Book of
Mormons. He is also really funny.
This past week has been good, but a little tougher in the evenings
because of the EM (European Masters?) It's the Soccer tournament between
16 European countries. And people here LOVE soccer. We get woken up
when a team scores because of all the yelling and honking, but it is
usually done by 11 o'clock so that is okay. From what we have heard,
Germany has done pretty good and has moved past the Round Robin and is
into the quarter finals. Which will be good. President Miles has said
it's okay to watch one Soccer Game where Germany is playing. And then
if they make it to the finals we can watch that one as well. Which will
be really neat if they do. And it makes sense because nobody is on the
streets when they play, and NOBODY likes it when we are dooring or
contacting. So it will be neat to watch. I think I have been in Europe
too long because I am a little excited to watch soccer. I hate soccer,
and yet I want to watch it for some reason. Weird....
On Tuesday, Elder N had a District Leader Meeting so I was
on an exchange with Elder C and with Elder N who is also in
his third transfer. It was strange to realize that I am an 'old'
missionary since I still feel so young still.
We also have an investigator named J. She is pretty sweet.
Brother T just picked her up one day because she was hitchhiking
(something not that frowned upon here) and was like ''Hey! I just
finished doing my religious duties today. What do you believe in?''
Then they talked, he gave her a Book of Mormon. She met with the
missionaries a couple of times and has a date for the 30th. She is
pretty cool. Especially because in one month, she read the whole Book
of Mormon. In German, which is 700 pages (as opposed to the 530 in
English).
Things here are doing really good. We have a lot of neat things
happening, and I am having a good transfer. Still doing good in a
Dritte, which is a little strange, but could be worse.

Sincerely,
Elder Connor J. Thompson
