Hey everyone, here I am again!

I think that this is maybe my 100th letter from my mission.  Pretty strange eh? Where has the time gone? Really though, WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?  I still feel like a little greenie missionary who doesn't know anything.  But it is all good.  I think at the beginning of my mission I had this image that at the end of my mission when I was 'old' I would know how to be a sweet missionary and know what to do in every situation and just be awesome.  I feel like I am still waiting for that day to come. Maybe waiting isn't the best word, I am trying really hard for that day to come, but it will just take a while.  On the bright side, there are still lots of opportunities to practice at home too.  But that will come later. 

In any case these week was pretty good.  We saw a lot of good things, and then some that weren't super great.  But that's just the way it goes.

On Monday, we had family home evening with Sister V. She is great.  We've done service for her before, and she is just the funniest lady.

On Tuesday, we had an appointment with an older couple who are sort of eternal investigators.  It actually went pretty well, and we are making some slow progress with them (which is good since we have only met about 2 times) so we will see what happens.  The secret is for the members to do stuff, so we will see how that goes.  We also had an appointment with the M family which was a lot of fun.  It's always awesome meeting with the members when they are really excited about missionary work. 

Wednesday we had a District Meeting and then I worked in Heilbronn with Elder J, who is just a little baby in his second transfer.  He is boss though.  It was a good exchange, and I learned a lot from him.  I remember when I was so new.  It feels like it was just a little while ago though.  Oh well....

We also met with the S's again and had a member there, which was really helpful.  They were really honest and now we know a lot better what to do with them.

On Friday not too much happened, we went contacting and dropped off some cookies for a less-active member who had a birthday.  Then we set up an appointment to come back.  Score!  It was good.

On Saturday, we were in Pforzheim and did splits with members there for a finding day.  It was really cool.  Members are great.  We also went with the Sisters to a lesson with a man who is preparing to be baptized which is also way cool. 

We were supposed to have a lesson with a really cool couple who we found a week or so ago who were really interested, and on the search for a church (something that doesn't happen too often), sadly, the phoned us about 4 hours before and said they didn't want to talk to us anymore, and that we should come pick up our Books of Mormon.  Bummer....

But such is life.  We will keep going, and learn from it.  (Not really anything else to do)  On Sunday we had a good day.   After church we went to the D's, who are awesome.  They are one of my favourite families ever.  It's good.
All in all, this was a good week.  I am just trying to make the best of each day.  I don't have too many left... Weird....

Anyways, I love you all!
Don't think I am too busy to read e-mails! *hint hint*

Take care and have a good week!
