Hey!!! How are you all doing? How is the weather
there? This week was super crazy. It was either super hot, or pouring
rain. The Donau and a couple other rivers in Germany are super flooded.
As in, the highest they have been in 400 years... Luckily, here in
Zion, I mean, Ludwigsburg, we don't really have to worry about that at all.
In any case, this past week was super duper. For sure a great week
to finish a mission on.
Since I imagine that I will be telling stories about my
mission for the next two months or so, I will just give you a couple funny
highlights of the week.
On Monday for P-Day, we ended up having to wait in line in
McDonalds for an hour.... That was ridiculous... We also ate Tacos, which
is something that I have eaten more on my mission than I ever ate at home.
On Tuesday, we had an appointment with B and P, who are awesome.
On Wednesday, we went back to the B's.
Thursday, was interesting. The Sisters in Pforzheim
were in Stuttgart because Sister H had to go the hospital. So we
threw our plans out and waited at the hospital with her and her companion for a
couple hours. It was strange... It doesn't happen on a mission where you
just have time to sit and wait. And probably earlier on my mission I
would have gone crazy, but it was really good to help them. Especially
since her companion is pretty new. Sister
H is also super funny, and after they finally lanced something to get
the pressure off, she was hilarious and made so many jokes that while she sat
and recuperated in the waiting room, us three just cried for 20 minutes because
we were all laughing so hard. It was great.
We went there again on Friday, and so now everything should
be good for her.
On Saturday we had a 'Finding Day'. We did splits with
some members and talked to as many people as we could. I went by on a
less-active member with a return missionary. We got to her house and the
front was a clear plastic bag with a dead cat there. I don't know why it
was so funny.
Actually, I do. It was ridiculous. But good.
I got a picture too though, no
worries. In any case, it was a good day.
Sunday was a special Stake Conference where Elder Patrick Kearon
from the 70 spoke to us. IT WAS SO GOOD! I will talk about a lot of
those things in my talk on Sunday probably.
In between all of the craziness were a lot of Sad Good-Byes,
and really spiritual things that I will tell you all about later.
It still seems surreal that I am coming home. It will
probably not seem real until I get back home. Or maybe not for a couple
days. Whatever the case is, I want you to know how much I love you all.
Thank you so much for all that you have done for me while I have been
gone. The support was very needed, but I am so thankful for it, and so
thankful that you all helped me to serve a mission. It has been the best
two years for my life, so far. I have learned so much. Most
importantly, I have really come to know who I am. Who the Saviour is.
And how I can be who He wants me to be. I love you a lot!
See you on Friday!!!
