Well hello there!
So the pyramide came but not the other box yet???? That troubles me. I sent the other box a week earlier.....and it has my SD cards in it, so it really needs to get there ok...
Na ja. Hope and pray, right? yeah...
Yes, Uchtdorf will be the bomb. It will be extra cool getting back to Berlin as well. We are driving up there with the M's Friday evening, tho we are not allowed to be in Berlin til Saturday morning, so they will leave us in Brandenburg to sleep over there and then we will ride the train in that Saturday morning with those Elders. That train we'd take all the time when I was there not too long ago...Man that'll be fun. We'll see if I can get a pic with him! Na ja, a handshake would suffice, I think...
Wooo! Go Saints! I like the Saints. They have never gottn enough respect. Now they have to get some. I guess it is more that i just do not like the Colts so much. They fight the Patriots too much. Though i guess honestly i don't know if i can be a Pats fan anymore; i dont think Tom Brady is playing right now, and the old hero team is gettin taken apart and we'll see what happens. But if they got Brady back playing...
Well, now, what do you classify as best driver now, Mother dear? That's quite a broad term there............I see. So THAT'S why you went out and bought her a new car.... :D
There's a good article in the new Liahona/Ensign from Elder Holland that talks about the sin of Lot's wife and avoiding that in our day...very good article, just read it in a member's copy cuz ours don't come so regularly/on time...
P.S. there was no baby Jesus on there to begin with. Thought it a bit strange myself...just the empty space where there could be one...but I will not complain for the price i got it for...hey! you could make one with all you garage supplies! Yeah...
How'd you like my wrapping job there, eh? Hahaha Did my best with what I had...packaging from Post here costs 20 €...psssshhhh yeah right....
Cow tongue tacos are pretty strange. I have eaten some pretty weird things though: raw meat mashed up with onions and mayo...it's called hakepeter or somesuch. GROSS. or Blutwurst. It wasn't quite so gross as i expected but not my fav to be sure. Na ja, aside from eating that cow's intestine stuff at that one mutual activity back home (manudo?) things are fairly regular out here...
Hope this week goes well for you all! It has been a good week for us. We have really been blessed to see D S grow into his new priesthood responisibilites--he is making such progress and is doing so well. It is awesome to see. And he knows that now it's on to the next big goal: the temple. Gotta get his wife baptized and then in a year, to the House of the Lord! They'll make it, of that i am sure. And S L is still doing well. He blessed the Sacrament on Sunday and did a great job. He will do grea things as well :)
Wellllllll..........................................so we went into C&A last monday, checking out the sales......and they were having a suit sale...................and it was a very good sale.............ok enough of this. They had a beautiful Westbury business suit, the one i have kinda been eyeing for a month or so now, and it was marked down from 160€ to 99€. There were 5 left, it was a ''clearing out for the new spring shipment'' sale...and well, I bought me a new suit. I really look good in a nice trim suit :P :D So I am gonna hold onto it, wear it like once a tranfer maybe, and bring it home. It'll be my business suit for the future. I'll see if i can print you out a pic of it or something. Yeah. So. My bad. But it was a deal i did not want to pass up. shrug. yeah.
Well. Onto bigger news......
This is crazy--get this: The Hamburg mission is being dissolved on July 1st. They are getting eaten up by our mission, the Berlin mission, and the frankfurt mission is getting like one of their zones. We lose a zone to Frankfurt, namely the Zone where I am now, Erfurt Zone, and then the Munich-Austria mission and the swiss mission get realigned so that in the end there will be three missions in the german-speaking world: Germany North (Berlin and Hamburg) Germany South (Frankfurt and Munich) and then the Austira swiss confederacy does something else down south. Names subject to having been made up by me :P Well ANYWAY. Nws is, that our mission will double in size come July 1st. Other news is, whoever is going to Erfurt Zone for that transfer will actually be transferred to FRANKFURT MISSION. Aggggg! So we will be sending 20 somethin missionaries to Frankfurt mission come july. At which point in my mission i would have like a month and a half left. We will see what happens, eh? I personally would prefer to stay in the Berlin mission, for a variety of reasons, but whatever the Lord has in store....right? He he he....sigh.
crazy. It'd be weird to have 3 different mission presidents...
but yeah. Things are good for me, we got a bit of a cold spell here the past few days, but come March Winter should be movin off a bit...or that's what they say...
So Emma IS running an Elder Mason blog then...is it...tasteful? Hahaha!
I am glad too that I have two wonderful sisters who can apparently drive better than me and are there for me. And have the Mason family brand of humor. And you parents do pretty well too :P :D Hee hee! Thanks for being my silly family. I love you all very much and look forward to sharing all these experiences with you in person. Thanks again for the food! And the spagetthios! Haha good stuff.
You all have a wonderful week and I will talk to you soon. Be good, eat your OWN vegetables, and I'll do my best. Seeya!
Tschüß!
