Hey everyone!

I don't have tons of time this week.  That may be a common theme until I get back since we want to use all our P-Days as sweet as possible.  Which is only 3.  Crazy!!  

In any case, things here are going really well.  I realize that my letter last week was also pretty poor, so I will try to cover things a little better than I did last week.  Not going to make any promises though.  Especially since I get headaches when I look at the computer for over 30 minutes (an answer to Dad's many long years of prayer?) and we don't have tons of time. 

Anyways, we had Mission Tour with Elder Jose A. Teixeira, he is the Europe Area President and the most loving man ever.  It was way good, and despite having 31 Elders sleeping in an apartment where normally 7 sleep, it was pretty good.  I took one for the team and slept on the floor beside the bathroom.  That might have been a bad choice.  Oh well....  

All of our investigators are doing really good.  We found 5 new ones this week, which is really sweet because that doesn't happen too often.  

It was all in all just a really great week.  And last week was sweet too.

We went to the Mercedes-Benz museum, which was really cool.

We have also just had a lot of cool experiences with being in the right place at the right time.  It's nice how that works out so much.

I also learned that Hay Fever (I think that would be the translation.  Heuschnupfchen) is an actual thing, and I was actually sick on Monday and Tuesday (it was pretty bad those days), but then it got better.  I am pretty much completely healthy again.  So that is good.  

Things have been a little tougher with our part member families because they are still on vacation, but they should be back pretty soon so that will be really nice.  Until then we will be meeting with the new people who we found.  Two of them have said that they want to be baptized, so we will see how that goes.  It would be really sweet to see another baptism before I go back, but if it doesn't happen I know that it will happen right after I come back home.  And in all honesty, it doesn't matter if it's now or then.  The important thing is, is that they are coming closer to Christ.  It's not about writing as many names as possible in the cover of my Preach My Gospel. 

Anyways, I gotta run.  Just saw that our train is coming sooner than we thought.  Can't miss it, or else we will be late.  And Germans do NOT like that at all.  Take care! Thanks for the pictures and the emails.  I love you guys lots!
