I Ate The Bones!!!!

Image
Hey everyone I hope all is going well, this was a good week. Let's jump on into it.      Thursday: we went to a castle in Schwetzingen which has a garden that is a little over 20 acres and it's pretty cool. We also had a lesson with our friend and that ld to our pday getting to be extended by an hour...so I played the drums     Friday: we ate with a member and she made us chicken pasta and uh… I ate a bone by accident. So in some cases the chicken doesn't always have the bones removed, I'm starting to see a pattern of not learning lessons until the hard way happens.      Saturday: we were street contacting and this guy was walking and one of his grocery bags broke, so we went to help him and he said he didn't want help but he gave us a carrot juice drink. It was weird but we took it and elder white drank the whole thing in one day.      Sunday: ok this was awesome, we didn't invite anyone to church ( that's not the awesome part) the...

Hey everyone, I hope all is well.      Thursday: we meet with a recent convert of Elder white. So we toured Mannheim and that was fun I guess. Then I jammed out the drums like I always do.      Friday: The only good thing on this day is that I put too much hot sauce on my burrito. They make it real here, it's not like my beloved tapatio, the stuff here is straight evil. I was crying and dying.     Saturday: we meet with a new friend and also did some service and did 17 flights of stairs. I gave a member a blessing. That was super fun to do.      Sunday: I gave my talk on Sunday, now I think I have one uped my mtc district because it wasnt to just introduce myself and saying my eastamony, it was a full on 20 minute talk. Whether they understood or not is not the point I'm trying to make here.      Monday: we had a super good lesson wit one of our friends and then dropped one of our other ones. If here is extra weight y...

Meals And Lessons Not Learned

Hey everyone, I hope all is well. Let's jump right into it.      Thursday: we went to the Heidelberg castle and walked stair mountain to get there but that was fine. I decided to run up them until my vision started to fade so then I stopped.      Friday: we had a member meal. I seem to never learn my lesson, but on your mission, the faster you eat the more you have to eat. I had to eat 3 dishes full of pasta and I almost died.     Saturday: transfer call day. I am staying in Mannheim thank goodness. We talked with a german philosopher about society for a short time of 2 and a half hours. I found a guy in the street ( in the park) and I understood all of it. We are gonna meet with him on Saturday next week.      Sunday: I got to take the sacrament and I also helped a guy move so that was cool. We had to get a 1000lb bike down a truck but it was too steep so it took an eternity.      Monday: We had another member meal. ...

The Day The Mission Died

Hey everyone, I hope all is well. It's been a very interesting week. Everyone besides a few got vaccinated so that lead to some fun stuff. Let's jump right in shall we?      Thursday: we went painting with a professional artist and that was way cool. I painted the only thing I know how to do, which is Washington, not that there is anything better to paint.      Friday: super slow day, we really didn't do much this day. It was super lame sauce. I found that the key to a great day is a great attitude. I had a moment of reflection about my past and about the joy I feel here on my mission. I am free. I am free from he past and I can finally go up again.      Sauterday: we went to an area called weinheim to do some stop bys so that was fun. It's super pretty and it's like the rich area. There is also a castle there. We also visited Wasserturm which is a big water tower but was fancy and we got some fun pictures there. It was also a big day of not ...

New Week Same Job

Hallo alle, I hope all is well in the world. German has really been different this week.      Thursday: our church building has a drum set so I jammed all day on that bad boy. I didn't talk to anyone for street contacting because I wimped out.      Friday: we had a member meal and it was good, I was totally lost on the conversation but this is ok.      Saturday:  we had a service project and it was way hard, we moved heavy boxes up and down like 5 floors and I was way sore afterwards. I ended up talking to someone today so that was good.      Sunday: I got to partake of the sacrament, the reason I always put it in my emails is because it means so much to me, I know the importance of it and it is something I am happy to put in my emails. We had a lesson in English (thank goodness) and she wants to be BAPTISED so that rocks.      Monday: exchanges! I went to Heidelberg, it was super pretty but I don't like the...
