Hey family!  How are you all doing? I don't know how it's already P-Day again, but I am not complaining.  This past week went so fast, but was really good.

On Tuesday, we had District Meeting in Pforzheim, and then we had our usual Finding Day for the rest of the day, but had to hurry home because we had an appointment with a family.  They are way sweet.  The dad is a pretty high up hockey ref I think.  He is helping with the German National Team Olympic Qualifications.  For whatever reason, there is something in Bietigheim-Bissingen.  Not too sure... In anycase, that is cool.  And his wife used to play for the German National Hockey Team.  Cool eh? Even cooler was that they had fun kids who were 7 and 5, and 2, so it sort of gives me an idea of what the boys will be like.  I try to figure it out every time we see little kids, but it is still weird to me.

On Wednesday, we had an appointment with the G family.  We found out that they won't be transferred for a while (he works for the American Military) so that is good. 

Thursday, we tried to go by on quite a few people, but nobody was there, or they were too busy and didn't have tons of time.  Which is always tough. 

Friday, we had an appointment with a younger family with four kids.  It was way funny.  They made vegetarian tacos.  I know why most vegetarians are so skinny too now.  You just have no desire to eat a lot.  No, I am totally kidding, it actually tasted good, haha!  The kids are way funny, they really do say the funniest things.

Sunday was good.  I didn't have to give my talk which was awesome!  Haha!  Instead, it turns out that there was an exchange student in the ward from California so she spoke.  Afterwards we met with the Sülzle family.  Which we would spell Suelzle.  Cool eh? You pronounce it pretty different in German too.  The father is not a member, but really supportive and good towards the church.  He even has a calling.
