Hey Everyone!
Alright so Im officially in MInden after being on a train for 5 hours and lugging luggage around.. that was no fun! I took a train from Glückstadt to Hamburg then from Hamburg to Hannover, then from Hannover to Minden! haha Minden is pretty cool, its a small city but way larger than Glückstadt..Glückstadt had about 11 thousand people and Minden has about 80 thousand... So yeah im moving up in the world..lol!
Minden is starting to get more into southern Germany, so yep we actually have hills here lol. But the germans think they are mountains its so funny! I have been asked several times, wie mögen sie unsere bergen? (How do you like our mountains?) lol. Im like those arent mountains come see the west side of the states, youll see mountains there lol. So yeah, my comp is Elder Christiansen. He is pretty cool and he comes straight out of the factory in Provo.. but I have to say he is pretty cool.. and his German is amazing, I will definitely be learning alot this transfer lol. So as for speaking German... I can understand everything people are saying, unless its computer science or whatever haha but yeah its coming along nicely...
So this week here in MInden Has been a Great Start! We hade made out a new appointment everyday and our investigators are progressing... We met with a investigator last night and he was like ``hey look I bought a highlighter because I really like some versus so I want to remember these..`` We were amazed, that was awesome!
So funny story... Ill start off by saying, its getting way cold out here... like 5 degrees celsius here with pouring rain... and yeah im freezing my little ``Las Vegan`` butt off out here lol. So anyways we were talking with this one guy for like an hour on the street and what not... pretty much he was telling us his life story..and this whole time My comp & I are freezing because its like 10:30 and were supposed to be home but we want to teach this guy.... so little did I know that it was so cold I guess I couldnt feel my face hahaha So at a point in the conversation this guy turns to me and says ``Du hast ein Tiere auf Deinen Gesicht!``( You have a animal on your face) lol. So im like what an animal that makes no sense.. I thought it was just a german expression so I turn to my comp.. and he looks at me weird and hes like `` Dude eine Spinner!`` ( A spider) haha so yeah I guess this sucker was crawling all of my face haha that sucked, I hate spiders! Lets just say I broke one of the Ten commandments that night...lol
So the ward here is way nice! I really like them.. I guess President Hinckleys son.. Richard Hinckley who just got released as a 70... served here in MInden.. So everyone here is in love with him.. and supposedly he is coming to visit soon haha So thatll be cool.. but yeah we have alot of eating appointments here...jeeze I have to get my Rocky on this winter so i dont get fat!! haha
Alright well we have alot going on here in Minden! I feel a baptismal date coming so or a couple baptismal dates coming! I hope all is well back at home... Jeeze can you believe Iv been out 6 months... and I turn 20 Friday! lol CR-uh-AZY!
Schöne Woche!
Tschüß
Elder Popp
