Arrived 3/15/10

Well hey there!

Things are going good here. Slow but well. Yep, so E had her baby cut out of her last Wednesday--C section it was. He was just a tall kid. like 51 cm. they are both in pretty good condition, should be released by Wed. D is excited but pretty scared too--so much more stuff to do now that J S is actually here. We'll do all we can to help them out.

We have daylight savings time on the 28th of March or so. Joy.

Hahahaha Mother that must have been quite an embarassment...bad Taylor! How dare you laugh?? :D

Pops, that science bit is very neat. We try an approach like that sometimes on the very ''I am a scientist and I can only believe in that which I see or can touch'' people...doesn't often work too well, they are just too closed-minded and unprepared...na ja. hehe.

Thanks about the haircut...Elder D hooked me up there :D I have a pair of trimmers out here and sometimes it is just easiest to save the 10€ and do it at home. Thanks on the pics too. Sis M went a bit teary over it, she was really into it :) Nice to be able to help out however I can.
As for my nice CTR ring, I bent it pretty...badly doing a service project at a member's house. It's not really werable at all anymore. So for a time i was wearing one of the standard ones, of which we have several in the apartment, but it kept cutting into the back of my finger when i would stick my hand in my pocket or in my bag. the shield is so sharp around the edge, see...well, so now i am just going around with no ring on anymore. Don't know if there's any way to get one from distribution in Freiberg or Frankfurt, don't worry about it too much, unless you want to :) I am a 10.5 I believe? The last one was an 11 i think maybe...na ja.

Elder C made me that planner, it is a comic of Jules Verne sending a letter to Edgar allen Poe (how'd you get that??? Wow good work there) and it meshed pretty well with our inside jokes from serving together/friendship. Making planners is a lot of fun, I'll have to show you some of my planners when i get back.

Some of the Elders in my group are coming back in July, perhaps a transfer early? I need to talk to Präsident this week and see what is up there. We'll see what he says/what all that jazz is about...

I eat a lot of stuff now that I would have never dreamed of eating back then. Carrot cake, veggies, meatloaf (still not so keen on that one, but if it must be...), i can take mushrooms now, but i do not like them still, it's mostly only tomatoes that I just don't do. They just don't work for me. But yeah...I'll see if I can cook some stuff up for you guys when i get back...

I hope the apartment situation works out...Wyview????? Are you crazy? :) I sure hope not...

Well the Ms found out about my companion's crush on that sister missionary and it was so not my fault, but man was that funny...jokes for the rest of the transfer outta that one...

Somebody ask us to raise our hands? No?? What do you mean, no??....

Well, I am almost out of money here, and I gotta write Em back real quick, so i best be off. I love you all and thank you for your support and prayers. Pray for the missionaries there in our ward too, ok? Thanks! Love you! Tschüß!
---Elder Sterling Mason
