Elder Jonathan Popp - Week 1 MTC

Hey Everyone!
 Well i have officially survived my first week! It is crazy how fast it flew by haha It is pretty tough here! we literally started teaching our Untersucher (Investigator) on our 2nd day in german. Its crazy! i find my self praying pretty much every second for help haha. My german is coming along real well! it is hard but im starting to understand the grammer of it and how their sentence structure is! So we had a devotional speaker tuesday night! It was awesome Elder Richard G. Scott came and talked to us and gave an awesome talk! We were all suprised that a quorum of the Twelve came and spoke. My german is improving faster than i thought. My knowledge of the gospel is growing as well. Before i go to bed a read a little bit from the book " Jesus the Christ" it has a whole new look on christ life and what he did its awesome! The food here is awesome but it is very unhealthy haha. You can get fat here real quick so i try to watch what im eating! We get an hour a day besides sundays and p-days for working out or playing sports. I like to play basketball. Its pretty relaxing and i do play some volleyball here but everyone sucks so its not fun. Well I didnt expect that the MTC worked this way! We teach alot! i mean alot! we teach people twice a day, and then the rest were  studying german and the gospel. I can already bear my testimony, meet people, pray, ask questions, ect. in german! its amazing how much you learn in a week! Me and my companion taught our investigator last night about the plan of salvation. It was pretty cool. I drew out a picture of the plan of salvation and translated it into german so he could understand.  Its hard to speak german to them when you dont know much, but i can totally understand what they are saying when they speak. So iv seen Trevor Tonks, Kyle Lefevre and Kyle Gibson. I see trev and kyle gibson alot not so much kyle. but i gotta tell you these guys i consider my brothers, same with others out in the field nathan, ben, derek, tanner. They really lift my spirit up when i see them or hear from them. They all have that heart of the lion and it helps me alot. Ich bin dankebar fur meine Familie und meine freunds! Ich liebe meine family und Ich leibe sie(you all) lol. I miss all of you. letters are on there way as well lol WRITE ME!
