Elder Jonathan Popp Week 8

Houston We Have Liftoff!

Here we go!!

Last week of the MTC has finally come! Im so excited! The time here has just flown by its rediculous. So i got my flight plans to germany! I will be flying into JFK New York on the 13th, Monday and will have a 4 hour layover! So ill be able to talk for a little bit on the phone! So ill be calling around like 2-4 pm. So be ready!!! After New York we fly straight to Berlin! so we got awesome flight plans! Im really happy!

Alright so 2 weeks ago we got new german missionarys! I think i forgot to mention that haha If not, oh well you get to hear it twice. lol. But, its pretty cool. The older german missionarys like to help the younger guys. I always go in there and help the other elders with german... When they first got here we only spoke german to them haha it was so funny because they all had blank looks on their faces! haha It reminded me when I first got here haha and Ill probably have that same look when i get to german because im sure they speak really fast german. My german level is probably about a kindergartener's maybe 1st grader's (thats pushing it lol.) but its coming along i know itll take a while to learn the language.

So we talk 3 days out of the week only german now. Gotta go the whole day with only speaking german! Its pretty cool because you find out how much you can really speak. So thats a cool experience. Best way to learn a language is to speak it! Iv been working real hard on just speaking german as much as possible.

So dad you should be proud, I got 2 goals in soccer the other day haha Im improving! We have 2 british elders in our zone and they told me im good at being the goalie though because of the volleyball experience. I dont know if its true but hey ill take a compliment. I do have to say I have not been scored on yet haha

Lately, Iv been doing alot of studying outside. It is really soothing. I really like being outside i'v decided. Its nice and quiet and you can just think. Its really cool.

Yesterday was fast sunday. So i got up in sacrament and bore my testimony in German because it was basically our last sunday. I like bearing my testimony it sounds so sweet in German. haha German is such a cool language. I know without a doubt this is the mission for me! I feel like a secret agent speaking in German lol. Its legit!

Well, im starting to slowly pack things up. Not much happening, bout to go do laundry, write some letters, ect. All is well here! im really enjoying this so far. I can't wait for germany. Im nervous but, Hey the lord is on my side. Thats all i need. Well, I love and miss you all!

Tschüss,
Elder Popp
