Hey fam! Things here are goin alright. Elder S, whom I shall simply refer to as the Deck from now on (:D) is...good. He seems pretty run down and a bit depressed. The other guys in the district commented on it too, we all know his trainer and he might not have had such a good time the past two transfers...na ja, I am doing my best to cheer him up and we're gonna have some fun today in berlin :)
S is great! He had a mandatory trip the sunday after and so we had to wait a week. We talked about missionary work with him this past week, and he invited a friend to the appointment! We got to talk about the gospel and give here book of Mormon and S says she is thinking about baptism! And we've been meeting with his mom! So he is doing great. Finally got all his smoking habits destroyed and he's comin' along well.
Well I am very happy Pops got home safe and sound. Oh, you didn't have to buy me anything...but since you did, mmm, sure, you could send it out! I will prolly be sending home some unused stuff, like a tshirt and some shorts and whatnot, at some point. Maybe around Christmas...na ja. If the jersy fits, feel free to send it, but again, don't worry too much about it :) Hahaha just don't let Tayto get a hold of that other shirt, Dad...you remember the All Blacks shirt... :P :D
All around it sounds like it was an alright trip! Got to see some sights too! Was the meeting successful and worthwhile? So now you know where to take us on our Scotland family tour? :D
I've been trying to really turn my prayers into conversations. It's not sooo easy but it has brought me a lot more fulfillment in prayer, I think. And it is more comforting to really try and talk to Heavenly Father. We talked to a JW (j-dub, jehovah's witness) on the street the other day (they are EVERYWHERE in germany), and their perception of God (''Jehovah'') is so cold. It just feels wrong. I am so glad we have a loving Father in Heaven who cares about each and every one of us.
dear sisters: Hahaha I love you guys...i mean gals...i mean, lasses :)It sounds like you are gettin right into the seam o things, Em. and that makes it fun, na? FHE was always a good experience, IMO. And it sounds like it'll be a blast to go to genral conference with everyone! I went with Danny and two of the girls from my circle for a pair of the April sessions last year; it was a wonderful memory, and a lot of fun with them :) P.S. I love hearing about your classes. I'm sorry i can't always respond so well, what with the time constraints in trying to get into Berlin, but i do love hearing about them. I will try and respond better about them next time, promise! I'll keep praying for you too, dont you worry. It works, dontcha know ;)
K, they are being nazis and kicking us off, so I love you all and take care and thanks for all your love and encouragement and help and letters and prayers! May god bless you, til next week! Tschüß! Love, Elder Sterling Mason
