Hey family! How are you doing?
Can you believe that it is already September? I can't. Things here in Bad
Säckingen have been a little ugly weather wise, but we actually had a pretty
good week.
On Tuesday, we had our District Meeting like usual, where we came to Singen and then said good bye to the missionaries who would be leaving the District. On Wednesday, we went out for lunch with the lady who Elder N sang for. Mostly because everyone gives us strange looks anyways, but being in a nice-ish (3 stars. Is that good? It seemed fancier than places like Moxie's or Earl's for sure) to eat with a 60 year old woman, is for some reason strange to the people here. Weird.... Haha! It was also pretty crazy in the fact that she paid for it all (which isn't too strange, since it was her idea to go there, and German hospitality would indicate that she should pay), but it was a little weird because it cost over 100€ for all three of us. Crazy! After that we met with the E's and had a good lesson with them. Afterwards, we had to go back so Elder N could finish packing. Which meant that I got to clean some more. I pretty much cleaned the whole apartment, which isn't too small. It's about the size of the top floor in the now old house. And after having missionaries live in it, may have needed some love. It's for sure better. Still a couple things though that I don't even care to clean. Like the huge pile of junk that has been added to by every missionary leaving the apartment. Ugh... But it's better.
Thursday was the big day. Transfer day. It was a little strange because normally you would go to Munich or Stuttgart to meet your companion, but since Ravensburg (Where Elder H was coming from, and where Elder N was going to) was on the way to Stuttgart, we just got off there, and then waited for a train that took us directly to Bad Säckingen. Which was weird but good.

On Friday, we didn't have a whole lot. We did our study, and went by on
B and talked with him for about 30 minutes. It was
interesting. I hadn't realized how fast he spoke, or how thick his accent
was until at the end of the lesson Elder H was like 'What was he talking
about? I didn't really understand anything.' He told us that he would
come to church, and actually it was a pretty gospel centered lesson.
Saturday was also a little slower because we didn't really have any
appointments with investigators. We had a meeting with a member in the
ward, S who had his birthday this week. I baked him some
brownies, and then we went and played some games with him.
Sunday, was pretty much the same. We went to church which was good.
I really love the ward here. Sadly, we still don't have a Ward Mission
Leader, which is a little tougher, but I was promised we would get one next
week.
That brings us then to today. We are in Singen and are going to have a
game day with our district. Hopefully basketball will not be
involved. Haha! Things are going good here.
Good to hear that everyone at home is doing good.

If you are bored. I know someone who
would love a letter. Or even a postcard. Just something to
read. Haha! Love you!
