Arrived 11/9/09

Hey!
I'm ina bit of a rush today so my typing may go downhill...it is the 20th anni. of the fall of the Berlin Wall, so we are all gonna try and catch as many of the festivities today as we can...

I DO know the Elder G. He was my zone Leader while I was in Werdau and he's up in Eberswalde right now wo we see him in Berlin sometimes on pdays. We talked about our relationship through LA long ago, but always forgot to write home about it. Haha Mormon Bingo wins again! He is a short-fused firecracker of a kid. Hahaha I love him...

I do not know exactly who that other Elder might be, not knowing the picture exactly... could you hit me with the address of the blog? Might be Elder Hamilton...

CHRISTMAS BOX: hot cocoa, cider(important), fmaily photo (maybe just of you parents since I have the girls), a candy cane or two, Nat King Cole cd of the classics :) And maybe my Return of the Jedi soundtrack! If at all possible. And if my BYU jazz cd was nearby it...

I believe my tie was from C&A. Good quality, cheap prices. Good suits too......but it'll be a while yet before I think bout that...

Almost all of our investigators disappeared again. Do not know how that happens, but it's gotta end sometime, right? I know everybody has their agency, I just wnat to find someone who is willing to use it correctly :P So I am praying for that opportunity...

Well, what else. I love Julius Caesar! Emma puts my quotes up in her apartment?? Cool. I AM quite quotable, dontcha know... or maybe it was supposed to be ''our'' and not ''your''...na ja.

Colds at college stink. But drinking tons of orange juice helped me beat mine...and I took two poli sci classes my first semester...150 and 170. They were awesome. A bit of work but very rewarding...

Haha thanks for the birthday card. We bought a cake and a member mother baked me one too. And we got little räucherhäuser, little smoking houses like the man i sent you guys last year. It was an alright day. not too diff. from all the other days, cept for all the cake! Yum.

Well, we need to run, so I'm gonna jet and leave you with my testimony that the work is true. God lives, Jesus is the Christ, and the Church is His Church restored through Joseph Smith. This I know. And I wish you all a very fond farewell, til next week. OH AND I LOVE CHEWY CHIPS AHOY!!! P.S. Yeah. Love you!
