Busy Busy Busy!

Hey everyone!

 This week was pretty good.. We were way busy though at the beginning of the week. Since transfer calls were last week we had to help everyone transfer on Tuesday. It was sad though, Elder James is no longer with us. He died and went home! We had a blast together. He is a way cool kid, Ill hang with him when I get home.. But we got Elder Clayton.. and he is way cool. We were in the MTC together and we have always had a blast together. So its kinda a bitter sweet thing, with E. James leaving, Its all good though. We will continue working hard and partying as normal lol. But all Monday we were down in Bad Bentheim because the mission couple made us a huge thanksgiving dinner! I havent had pumpkin pie in forever! Mom you should start preparing to make some pumpkin pie because im gonna eat alot of it in about 4 months! haha BUt it was great, we played alot of pingpong and ultimate frisbee.. It was awesome, and Simon came with us! I swear this guy is a baller.. He is awesome! This ward here really scored with getting him as a member. He is such a great guy.

For the most part this week it was alot of finding. We had 6 appointments fall out.. I'v had worse but for the small pool of people that we have it stunk but its all good because sifting for the elect, and sometimes its gonna be hard, but you keep chuggin along. Elder Ustach is such a good guy, we get along great. Too bad ill have to wait like 20 months before he gets home to hang out with him haha but when he is home, we are gonna hang out! I feel bad sometimes that we dont have alot of people to work with but, I think this is a great learning experience for both of us. Thats what life is about.. Learn, Learn, and more Learning.. Love it.. Bring it on! But it was cool Elder Ustach made out a sweet appointment when we were doing doors. I was proud of him. It was funny this lady that answered the door looked exactly like the singer pink and her attitude was just like her haha but she was interested to learn, so were excited to go back. 

You wouldnt believe how much fog there is here.. Its insane, like the whole day is just crazy foggy, which makes it really cold.. Like I can feel it in my bones. My wrist and foot hurt from when I broke them..but I a man and I'll live.. sniff sniff.. haha But last night was totally awesome.. We had to walk to an appointment that was a hour and half away and we finally got there and she wasnt there.. I was not the happiest Elder at this point in time but we decided to head back and talk to people on the way because we were so far away and it was like 7 oclock.. but we took like a really funky route home haha I had no idea where we were going but we called it.. Exploring to find haha and as were walking along this dude stops us on his bike and its Sophiano.. One of our first investigators, who dropped us.. and said hey guys I was thinking about you guys all day and I saw you on the street.. I think we should meet again haha We were blown away because this guy wanted nothing to do with us.. It was so cool.. So he is gonna come play some soccer with us tonight! Im excited..

Well Im getting excited for December. Hopefully we can get some snow here soon.. Or this guy is going to turn into the grinch! You wouldnt want to see me green! haha But thanks for all your prayers. I love you all!
