Week 5

Hey Guys,

Alright so im officially over the hump of the MTC. 5 weeks done baby! Its kinda crazy to think that in 4 weeks ill be knocking on doors in deutschland! I cant wait!

So this week has been pretty much the same haha but we had got some new germans in last week, so i got to take one of the new guys with me and teach a lesson haha it was pretty funny because i was told to make them talk in german. so i did... and needless to say he told our investigator that god was the devil hahahaha so i had to clear it up! lol good times.. It was cool tho because after we were done the new elder was like dang you can pretty much speak german but i cant really speak german haha but that made me feel real good!

I really like helping the new kids, they always come in asking how to put sentences together and how to say things haha Its pretty cool, helps me in my german as well answering them! So i no longer need notes to speak german, i am working on a study journal right now! Its basically my version of preach my gospel and i add a bunch of scriptures to them so i can pull them up in lessons. I made my journal in complete english so i can translate it into german! Its been working real well because i can now express myself and give my own insight on things.

I really like searching for scriptures. I have found over 30 scriptures just on the 1st lesson ..The Restoration... Its awesome cuz when our investigator has a question, im just like BAM, i gotta scripture haha Its legit!

So last Tuesday we had ANOTHER APOSTLE!! Niel A. Anderson haha (I know all my missionary friends are jealous right now, cept kyle cuz your here as well lol) But yeah awesome talk! you can feel the spirit so strong when these apostles walk in its amazing!

Well me and my companion are getting along real good now. He has really improved, iv been trying to help him in our lessons and it is paying off really well. I always say... haben sie ein gedanke? ( do you have a thought) in our lessons and he starts saying his thoughts! Its awesome! Things are going real well now, im starting to like this, but i know in a couple weeks ill have to say good bye to these guys and thats gonna suck!

Im just in such awe how much im learning! Its amazing, my german is getting stronger day by day and its a good feeling when you go into lessons and you can literally say everything you want and they understand you and you understand them! so awesome!

Well all is good here in Missionary prison haha but im having fun! Jakey I cant wait for you to come in on wednesday! i wont be hosting but, i will be looking for you! I love all of you and Sie Sind am Beste!

Tschus,
