Yeah dont worry everyone else thinks were crazy too lol.. But were finding machines.. Know why because we go where know one else would usually go.. we go to the ghettos, we skateboard with the punks, we help crazy drunk germans on buses.. the list just goes on..Its just like what Christ did in the Bible, he didnt go hang out with the rich and holy people, he went down into the dumps and taught people.. Thats what were doing.. Alright thats all the spirtitual stuff your getting from me! haha jk

 Alright Tuesday was just great, we met with the Barleben Family. Iv got to tell you, they are just awesome.. They are totally gonna get baptized.. They used to come to church quite a bit a while go and they stopped coming cuz someone offended them.. My goodness people and there feelings...But dont worry we paid close attention to them and talked to them about what happenend and totally cleared it up, so they really like us now and were gonna eat at the house on tuesday.. Dang double Whammy, New Investigators and FooD! Das Kann Gar Nicht Schief Gehen! haha Oh my goodness funny story, after that we were on the bus going home and like a swarm of girls got on the bus (dang you satan) and like im not gonna lie, me and E.Hunziker were looking really good that day, and they kept smiling at us and what not, oh man it was awesome..I mean horrible..lol. but as im getting off the bus.. This girl totally grabs my butt! what the heck! haha I turned and was like Nice to meet you too haha oh man it was so weird..but yet hilarious! haha

Wednesday, was kinda boring.. Actually was really boring. On went on exchange with the Elders in Prenzlau, and the Elder I was with.. He has a broken foot or at least had one and couldnt do to much.. So we stayed at the church and taught like geneology class, institute and english.. Oh man I was totally about to just fall asleep..But dont worry , I didnt, well I cant remember falling asleep lol.

Thursday, we met with miles and Rudy.. Oh man these two guys are awesome. Ones from Syria and the other from Kenya.. They are so awesome.. Rudy has a Baptismal date for the 26th of May and Miles with probably be sometime in June. Man Im so excited for them. But yeah we had some awesome african bread roll things, they were delicious!

Friday, we had a game night, and it was totally awesome. A kid named Charles showed up and got to know some of the members of the ward.. and actually fits in perfectly.. and yes I totally whooped everyone at Tischtennis (Ping Pong)..haha

Saturday there was a huge service project thing going on in the city of Eberswalde, so we went and helped.. We got to paint this wooden house things for the kindergarden kids to play in.. But the funniest thing was, is we were wearing the jumper suits so the paint wouldnt get on us haha It was hilarious. But yeah then we did some doors after and Met with a girl named Anna.. she just showed up to the church last week and wanted to know more about it. So we taught her the basic doctrine and why we need the book of mormon.. She is just so quiet, its hard to read her.. But we think she took it well

And Finally Sunday.. We had Rudy, Miles, and Charles show up to church! It was so cool.. All three of them are just ready to change there lives. We are blowing things up here in Eberswalde. Thats what im talking about! haha But yeah It was fun to talk to the family on Sunday night.. Short and Sweet but yeah Thats it for this week. Thanks for everything, hope everything is going well!

Skateboard To Find!

Hey everyone!

 Well this week was completely, utterly just work! Im am so exhausted... Do you know how many new appointments we made out this week??... wait for it.... 21 new appointments! hahah So sweet! like our goal is to get 7 a week as a mission and we got 21 because we.... well were are just blessed haha So my new comp is Elder Hunziker... He is pretty cool. But pretty much its a business relationship haha if thats what you want to call it. Its all about missionary work here, we dont play around haha Na Ja, I probably have to learn to be more serious.. But yeah we had a super busy week..

So the coolest story of my mission happened this week... We saw some kids skateboarding and we were like what the heck, lets go ask if we can skateboard with them. So we went up to the kids and just started speaking flat out english with them.. HEy guys can we try? and then they totally let us skateboard with them and we hung out and talked with them for like 30 minutes and I showed them pictures of motocross and what not, oh man it was so sweet, there all coming this wednesday for english class.. and were gonna teach them about the gospel after! Is that sick or what?

Then we had to do another 2 Service projects this week, one with Ringo, moving is trash from his old apartment to some dumpster... but like seriously 4 germans came out and yelled at us and ringo and said we couldnt do that and what not, so they called the police and we had to book it to the bus! haha It was crazy. But we made it out alive and home safely.. Supposedly ringo had a permit or something for it but didnt have it with him to show the police.. Probably just lying.lol Then we went to my good friend Ruhnau again and help finish cleaning his apartment, from where Elder Colton & I left off.. man that sucked, his bathroom was disgusting, i will spare you all and just not even describe it! haha

Oh man it gets better, We met with a eternal investigator on Friday night.. and he knows the book of mormon is true but just wont admit it. He is just afraid that his wife who died is going to come back and haunt him from the grave, if he gets baptized..So we totally taught a way cool lesson, about how to find a true answer to the book of mormon and what that means, and how the priesthood can pull families into the eternity. He is also afraid that he would go to the celestial kingdom without his family and he would rather go to ''hell'' with his family then to heaven with them.. So we cleared everything up and the spirit was way strong, and he accepted to be baptized on May 26th.. So cool!!! haha

Saturday was just flat out rediculous.. we had to wake up early like at 5 to go to Neubrandenburg for a training meeting, and we were waiting for our bus right, and we realized the bus wasnt going to come and take us to the bahnhof (train station) and so we had to book it all the way down, seriously I almost died, and then we reached the bahnhof and walked over the bridge just to wave goodbye to our train that we were supposed to catch...( this is when I needed the guy to come out and play a song on the small violin hahah).. oh man I was so ticked.. we had to wait like a hour and half till the next one but it worked out and I got to work with my comp from the MTC for 3 hours while the others were in meetings, so that was fun..

Church was great as usual, but after church was the best part.. We went and visited Schwester Scheleit and her mother.. Her mother turned 102 and they had a ton of cake they wanted us too eat.. Oh man, seriously, this 102 old lady is probably the smartest lady ever, and she is in super good shape for a 102..Oh man but she was hilarious, she was totally hitting on me! haha Who can say that, a 102 year old woman hit on you? This guy. haha Seriously she was like, Elder when I die, im taking your eyes with me! haha and then she kept trying to get E. Hunziker and I to give her a kiss.. I wouldv given her one on the cheek but, yeah...E.Hunziker wasnt down for that.. But when we were leaving she shook my hand and was like wait, I just want to look at you handsome face for a minute! hahhahaha oh man, it was hilarious..

Well thats all for this week, im totally pooped.. Elder Hunziker, talks to everyone and everything lol.. So that means I do to, which is not bad, but tough.. but yeah Thanks for all your prayers, und Alles Gute!

 Well this week was just completely packed with service projects, one right after another. Im so pooped! haha I even have some bruises on my arms and legs because of moving so much furniture around...but whatev, i got a good workout in this week! haha..

 So on Tuesday, we were helping Ringo move into his new apartment and you of coarse he has to live on the very top and not have prepared anything before we got there lol. Seriously we got there and he was just laying on his couch, and was like Elders I dont know where to begin, so we had to pack everything for him.. and he has some pretty heavy cabnets and what not and we had to carry them down 5 stories.. That was no fun at all.. seriously, we both about died.. and it was just E. Colton and I there, no one else. Then we had to transport everything down to his new apartment, and he told us dont worry I got a mover thing you can use so it wont be so hard to move the furniture.. We were so relieved, then he brang out a wheelbarrow with a flat tire and was like heres your mover! haha oh man, Ich war so bose darauf!.. but needless to say, we survived with just a couple of scraps and bruises.. oh yeah we jacked up his fridge haha It fell out of the wheelbarrow...That thing was a monster, over like towered over me lol and was super heavy..

On Thursday, we helped the Zimmermans, with chopping wood in there back yard.. I got made fun of alot because supposedly, I swing an axe like a girl..haha but, I got the hang of it by the end of it...and they barbequed for us! Oh man we had some delicious steaks and Bratwursts! OH man german bratwurst are the best, no doubt about it!

Then on Saturday, we went all the way up to Rostock, which is up at the very northern tip of germany, right on the Baltic Sea, and yes I got to go to the beach on the Baltic Sea.. I know your all Jealous lol.. But in Rostock we did a service project at the Zoo! haha We had to like clean up and do some maintenence work there, it was way fun! Then we got to hangout afterwards and tour the zoo! Oh man there is a place where they have like wild monkeys running around and you go in there and let them climb on you... But I was ticked, my camera died and I couldnt get a picture with them! But yeah better believe I was playing with the monkeys! haha

yeah those 3 projects took like the whole day to do, now im feeling all of the fatigue that comes with it! But also we had transfer calls, Ill be staying in Eberswalde but E. Colton is leaving me.. Sucks all the good comps that I get im only with for 1 transfer! Pech Gehabt! But my new comp is name liked E. Hunsiger or something like that..

But yeah this transfer flew by way fast, got alot of good things planned for this transfer.. Just trying to keep this city alive, as in the members haha but everything is going great! Thanks for all your prayers and support. Hope everything is going great back at home as well!
