Komish Polizei Dude...

Wow im just having a great week! My brotha got his mission call, rebels take down number 1. North Carolina, got a investigator to come to a family home evening activity... Man Was Noch??This week was great Elder Christensen and I Were able to hit 20 lessons again this week and found a new person everday this week as well! Woo-Hoo!

  Alright so monday night was pretty interresting.. We got a call from this russian dude named frank and he wanted to meet with us that night.. so we were like heck yeah! So we meet him up at the Bahnhof ( Train Station) and we walk to his apartment with him... and the whole time were trying to talk with him and he isnt saying much back to us, he was just looking really suspicious... he kept looking back at the road and at his phone.. and keep in mind this is 8 at night.. so its pitch black... and were in the ghetto part of minden..so we get to his apartment and he just stops at the door and is like, somebodys been here.. and he just stands there for like 2 or 3 minutes. than he takes his keys out and starts walking up the apartment stairs...and then hes like ''Shau Mahl''( Look) and is pointing at the ground and there are giant big boot prints... and then he whispers Polizei (Police).. In my head I was like just trip your companion and run for your life... but I decided not to haha so we continue up to his apartment and his door lock is busted and we get in and no ones there but the weirdest thing was his living room... there was a fish tank by the wall and a chair and table in the middle of the room(Like a small folding chair and table) with a small tv and on the tv was a black and white show of LA Cops playing.. and he had a cop radio set up and just a pen and paper on the table... it looks like he just sits there and watches this thing all day.... then on the wall by the fish tank there are just pictures of LA cops.. like 20 of them...me and my companion looked at each other and were like what the heck.. we taught a little but it was just obvious we needed to go, so we did!...There are some crazy people out there..

 The rest of the week was great! We met with Fabio and Carrola, they are members here.. He is Columbian and she is german... They love us because we can speak english.. and guess what there moving to UTah! Im so happy, im gonna go hang out with them one day when I get back...They also made us a thanksgiving feast! We were so surprised, they are so cool!

Yesterday we had a family home evening event for the entire ward and it was bei familie Keil! And We invited our investigator Andrea to it! and she came and loved it! She was so happy afterwards! Andrea is someone who was a old inv. but we made contact with her again and she just loves E. Christensen and I! Oh yeah and we made german cookies with her on Friday that was Fun!

She looked at my name tag and started busting out laughing! and I was like hey fool whats so funny?? and she was like umm do you know what popp even means here in german... and I said ... Keine Ahnung!(No Idea) and she kept laughing and was like im not telling you that... but you know me.. I got it out of her! haha so she gets this bag, blows it up and that bangs her hand on the bag with a loud pop noise!! haha and yelled POP!! haha Oh man we laughed so long! It was way funny... but yeah she stopped meeting with the missionarys because they were too serious and boring.. and now she loves us so we are teaching her again! Are we good or what? who knew people like a little humor right? lol

Wednesday we visited this old lady.. she is 91 years old... and makes you want to just bang your head on the wall the whole appointment lol.. I mean she is sweet lady and very nice but im mean she makes us stay there and listen to her for like 3 hours.. like she wont let us leave.. we try to go and she wont let us... or she gets angry and turns into the incredible hulk... then im sitting there like... oh man I immediately regret this decision! Shouldnt of said we had to go lol..Oh man then we have this lady in our ward that is completely obsessed with americans! im mean obsessed! She knows our birthdates, when we arrived, how old, full names (Except mine, I refuse to give it lol.)...My name is Hauptmann(Captain) Popp to her! lol. but yeah she is a little creepy!

Everyone asks me... Elder Popp Hast du daß mitgekriegt??( Did you get that?) umm no sorry im in la la land right now...lol. Oh man and we visited this old guy as well! and He busted out the accordian and started playing and singing! That was so funny! We were just sitting there and he stops talking and takes out this accordian and starts singing some german/Bayerish song! lol It was cool in the moment I got to admitt...

Saturday was way cool too we had Gemeinde Essen(Ward gets together for a meal)... ahh man we had a real pig! hahaha I knew it, I knew germans would bring a pig! It was just completely roasted and sitting over a pit! haha Im so mad my camera is busted otherwise I wouldv gotten a picture... man Germans and there pigs, gotta love them! lol.

Hey Everyone!

 Well this week was great.. good end to the transfer! Well looks like Elder Christiansen & I will be staying with eachother for Christmas... So yeah transfer calls were boring! but should be a good transfer!

 Well what to start off with this week.. hmmm well I think ill say.. I set my first baptismal date with someone last night! haha Woo Hoo! So this guy is pretty cool, his name is Justa! He is from France and is doing schooling here and learning german.. so 2 weeks ago we met with him a gave a book a mormon... then last night we met read alittle out of 3 Nephi, and just ask him to follow what christ taught.. Boom date set.. So Im way excited and we got alot of other good investigators that are climbing there way up to the goal of baptism.. yeah so Ziel Erreicht! ( Goal Reached!) Also we did numbers yesterday for the transfer and we taught 74 lessons for the transfer.. Nicht Schlecht! ehh? ( Not bad!) So were moving along..

 It was funny we got stopped by this guy this week, and he told us how he was Jesus because he was born on the 25th and his mother told him he was jesus! Haha way funny... and then when we ended our conversation we asked his name... and he was like... uhhhh mmmm  Herr Müller! ... oh wait thats a lie! you wont get my name out of me! hahaha I was dying laughing! way funny!

umm yeah.. Im out of things to say... and I had a whole bunch piled together this morning...haha Well sorry this was short! I hope all of you have a great week! and yeah its cold here! like i woke up last night and it was -5 °C... so yeah should be getting snow anytime soon!

Abenteur Des Lebens!

 Hey everyone!

 Well here I am again, its monday, its foggy/ Rainy... actually idk if its fog or rain but its cold and wet! haha its about 5° C right now and its getting colder and colder.. i am now constantly checking my face for ''Animals'' lol. because i cant feel it lol, but hey its cool to be dressed up like im going to hike Mt. Everest! haha

 This week has been pretty good! We made out 7 new appointments this week, so we hit our goal, not too shabby! haha and had 14 lessons this week not too shabby either...man but these germans are soooo thick headed!! They find thing in life and they stay in it, whether its a job, religion, where they go shopping hahaha but seriously they dont want to change... oh welll, there are prepared germans here, just gotta find them! lol

Well tuesday we had a cool experience happen... I saw a book in german that i wanted at a book store, so me and my comp went there, and while we were there these 2 girls in there 20's that worked there.. asked me if I had a brochure... and dummy me, i thought they meant a brochure for the store.. and so I was like no,, and they were like aww shade!(sch-aww--daa)(too bad).. then it kicked in and i was like oh you mean for our church.. and they said yeah duh! haha so then i said no again lol.. because i didnt have one but only a card and they didnt want that... so then i got this great idea.. im in a buchladen and they have to like to read books! So i gave them the book of mormon! See how smart I am,, and now there actually very interrested! but they had some crazy questions.. I hate the whole ''2012'' thing, and how they ask about it! crazy people lol. It was funny I stopped a guy on the street and asked him what he thinks about Christ.. and he flipped out yelling hail hitler and all this random stuff and started running, yelling other things about hitler haha it was weird... Germans, I tell ya..lol

Well lets see what else... (was noch)... you know as a missionary you cant remember what you did 5 minutes ago... or maybe thats just me lol. but it takes me a while to write emails! Oh yeah we had zone conference this week and also stake conference yesterday.. that was cool.. alot of good talks were given! but Im not gonna write you a spiritual thought you want to know what I did lol. Oh and Saturaday we met with Herr. Weimar.. The Russian guy.. He is way cool! He has read all the way through mosiah and is starting on Alma.. He doesnt want to get baptized until he has read the whole book of mormon, so hopefully he will finish it soon, so he can be baptized!

Honestly everything is going well! Had a great week! I am having my abenteur des lebens
(The adventure of life)Saturday is already transfer calls... Weird.. I swear the mission just gets faster and faster...Alright well thats all I got, it was a scatterbrained email but yeah.. It works! haha Love you all and Have a great week!

Schöne Woche
