Arrived 7/6/2009

Hey fam!

Ohhhhhh, I miss big thunderstorms...man...
So yeah, I got transferred. I was a bit dissappointed, to tell the truth. I loved Elder Downing and the Werdau Gemeinde. He was a great boy, and they were amazing members. When you come pick me up (haha) we are commanded to come back down and see the ward on a sunday so I can bear my testimony and have a grill out behind the church and whatnot. We got along well... :D

So I am here in Brandenburg now. After one week, I am not ready to judge it yet :P It is about 70,000 so a good bit bigger than Werdau, but still not SO big. We were in Berlin (in Tiergarten, THE CENTER of Berlin......ohh man, it's beautiful) on Sunday for Distrikt leader meeting (for my comp.) and the other elders and I went out finding. Berlin is MASSIVE!!! Man. Anyway. But Brandenburg (BrB) has most everything you could need. But we'll be back to Berlin a lot, mark my words...so. Elder Burns is...interesting. He's a West Pointer.

Elder Parsons lived in Adelaide before he left but his fam moved to Darwin while he was out here...I asked him about Sis. Ornsby and he thought for a long moment and eventually said, I don't really know...

Well time is short here at the end of the day, but first I must wish Father a Happy Birthday! Alles Gute Zum Geburtstag!!!! One year older and wiser too, happy birthday...to you! Thanks for being there for me, Pops. It has been a great 20ish years :D

Well, we best be headin' out. Got to prepare some stuff. I love you guys, and I hope to have more time these next few weeks to really write a letter! Good luck this week, Emma! Everything will be fine. Love, Peace, Honor!
---Elder Sterling Mason
