When the going gets tough, The tough get going!

Well this week was pretty crazy and fun, Muss ich sagen! I planned as much appointments as I could, so we could stay busy... But yeah the weather in germany is looking pretty good! Its starting to warm up and were getting alot of rain... Its so wierd, Iv like seen all the seasons in minden lol Not really... but I was here at the end of september till now.. with switching off between snow and rain...I got to say, im getting tired off windy rain, and my umbrellas keep breaking! im cursed with breaking umbrellas, idk what it is!

   Well we had a fun day on tuesday, I was on a exchange with E.Jenkins... and we visited two members... Schwester Lettl, she is so cool, she just got baptized in october here, but she made us some delicious food.. An awesome patato/bratwurst soup.. dont worry I got the reciped and were going over there tomorrow to learn how to make it! Im taking full advantage now of all the good german food and learning how to make it! haha Then We visited schwester krah, she is pretty cool, she is like in love with missionaries though...like i mean literally in love... its kinda scary sometimes... E. Jenkins sung with her on the piano, oh man i was dying life... its was like two pigs dying... Oh wait.. I mean, Bless there little hearts, they sung wonderfully... lol! Oh yeah and then we got yelled at for like 10 minutes by a drunk dude lol It was pretty funny...I just love drunk people, there my favorite!

   Wednesday we had zo-co.. It was really good, president gave an amazing thema... like this is probably the first time I didnt get really sleepy in Zo Co... Way good, I totally wrote down his thema... Dont worry, I share it with you in a year lol! After that we got totally rained out, my umbrella broke and I got soaked! Oh you just gotta love mission experiences!

   Thursday, we visited the Mignanue Family, there from africa.. There so cool! I love going over there, we have a lot of fun, they have a little kid who has autism and I swear he is just the funniest kid ever... like half of my german pick up lines are from him... he is just hilarious! But yeah we watched the testament movie in french with them... they speak better french than german, and Iv seen it plenty of times...Oh Man and after we ran into Drunk Santa again! Im pretty sure I told you guys about him around christmas, he is the dude who said he was jesus...Oh man he came out of a barbara shop and was mad because there was a picture of this cute girl on the window, and he went in and asked them where this girl was because he wanted to kiss her, and they said she wasnt there so he was all angry and stormed out and started complaining to us hahah It was hilarious!

Friday, we met with schwester neubauer again..she was the old lady that we went and visited and looked like she was gonna die, well ya she is back and healthy again, and she was so happy that I hadnt gotten transfered! haha she like loves me because I served in glückstadt, and she grew up there lol. after that we went to my favorite member Martha! Because she makes the best mexican food! She is so cooL!

Saturday, was just a complete work day, totally blank... so we gave out a ton of our cards and did alot of street contacting! The day felt like forever though, those are the tough days... But you know, When the going gets tough, The tough get going!...

Sunday, i gave my 6th talk so far on my mission... man I dont want to hear anyone complain when I get home about giving talks because I have to do them in german! haha but yeah it was good, I gave it on Patience, and I pretty much winged it but it was good, I had a couple members come up and say thank you, I felt like that was just for me! So that made me feel good!

But yeah It was a great week, this will probably be my last week in Minden, Im excited to go somewhere else, but also sad, Iv been here 6 months and already feel like a member of this ward... I swear I have like 4 going away partys from members this week, should be really fun! But yeah I hope everything is going great at home! Love ya all!

Schöne Woche
