Another Week In Darmstadt!

Well well,
What an experience this has been!! We had another solid week and the work has been going so well!! I´ll just start with Monday, not much happened but the usual fun that you have on P-Days. I haven´t been taking as many pictures and I am really sorry!! I am just so busy and i forget my camera way too often, but just for you Mom I will keep it on me at all times! My diet these days consists of a lot of spaghetti, chocolate, nutella cereal (sooo tasty), eggs, qwark, and more spaghetti XD We get some random things in here and there and I do eat a lot of oranges but that´s about it. I really should work on eating better!! On Tuesday we went singing at the old folks home again with a couple members in our ward. They really love the spirit and so they invite us back often. We also went on some go-byes on some inactives which was pretty successful. We mainly just ended up talking to people in the streets because some of our inactives are really talented individuals. I thought I would be good at catching people in their homes...guess not. Bahahaha I sound like i´m hunting stuff. I promise we´re not too crazy here ;) After that we went and met with King David. He´s a really funny guy. Always calling us "Ma Bruddus" guess I´m just a black man now XD We then had an appointment with Aaron Taubner. He is going to be baptized on the 23rd! I am really excited! I´ll be having my first baptism!! We got a lot of Area Book work done and then we did some more streets. Then on Wednesday we had our breakfast and study times and we then had to go to the church because I had to take some surveys for my twelve weeks program so we ended up being there for a little while. We then went and did some service for a couple hours and then our appointment with one of our investigators fell out which was too bad. We then had dinner and some more go byes on Weniger Aktives. We have over 240 so we have a lot of ground to cover there. We then had our sports night and so we went and played some basketball for our finding activity. We ended up giving out a bunch of cards and a lot of the guys wanted to come play basketball at the church, ergo, tours of the church. Brilliant.  We then went home and hit the sack. My favorite place has now become my bed. Sleep always feels like 30 min though. Thursday I had a lesson that I had to give for district meeting. I did it on D&C Section 4. I wish I could share more but I don´t have that much time so I´ll save it for some other time. We then were going to go chalking the Plan of Salvation but that fell through because we had so many things that we had to go over so we ended up going home and getting some of our study time in. We then had dinner and then an amazing lesson with one of our investigators named Toby. He is 19 and he has a gf and child. He really wants to know more about eternal families and so we taught him just that as well as sneaking in some other amazing doctrine hahaha. I ended up not understanding very much but I had a thought come to my mind and had the impression to start bearing testimony. So that is exactly what I did. I don´t know exactly what I said to be honest XD but I ended up talking for a good 5 to 10 minutes and Toby was just eating it all up. We were with a couple members and everyone just starting going off of what I said and bearing testimony and the spirit just got stronger and stronger and stronger. By the end of the meeting we asked if we could do another appointment next week and Toby was like "come over whenever you want to." He really seemed to be loving what he was feeling, heck, I know I was!! After that we went contacting for alittle bit and ended up getting an appointment with a man and giving out another Book of Mormon. Friday was really busy with appointments. We ended up having six so we had to go on a split hahaha that happens a lot. :PSaturday, we had service in the morning. More basketball contacting and then appointments with 5 more people. Didn´t get much study time in sadly :/ but ah well. Sunday was great the ward is really a blast. They´re going to be splitting it next week which is actually really good. Makes the ward uncomfortable and ready for more growth hahaha we then had a couple more appointments and such and then got stranded out in the middle of nowhere for an hour and a half. It was pretty chilly but I got the chance to look at the stars and get a little reading in from the street light. We then hit the sack. So, real quick. The food is great, The language is coming. I can understand a lot when it comes to church things and about 40 percent when it comes to daily things. So the understanding is coming along. My speaking still isn´t the best but it´s survivable haha. I have to go now though! Love you all!! 
Tschuss!
