Hello Everyone,
I think I am going to have to come up with some more creative titles because Another week in Darmstadt doesn´t do my time here justice. Course, the title I gave wasn´t what I had expected but hey, it´s something new haha. We´re in our good ol´ internet cafe right now. We just finished making some cinammon rolls and so we´re trying to get some letters done before we have to go back and put the dough in the oven. I´ve never had much of a problem with having to abstain from food but I feel like if I keep up the amount I´m eating i´m going to be like 250 pounds when I get back...that is some serious doomsday material right there how am I ever going to beat Jon in a triathlon if I can´t even beat my cravings for some tasty essen! Either way, this week was pretty interesting. Found out on Thursday that Carnival had started. Guess that´s like Halloween for Germany except they like to party a little bit more than in America hahaha. We have to be in at 8 until Wednesday because everyone gets drunk and then woman run around cutting peoples ties and kissing them. We try and joke about ugly tie week but honestly I´m scared to death. I love my ties!! Elder Bruneel tries to mess with me and tells me to watch out for people running around with scissors. Luckily for us, it isn´t too big here in Darmstadt. Other than that things have been going pretty well. We have had a lot of fall out appointments this week and so that was pretty difficult but we were able to give out a bunch of Books of Mormon so that made up a lot for it. I ended up getting pretty sick Saturday and yesterday and so I had to stay in bed a lot longer than I would have liked. It just feels like such a waste of time to just be lying there. Blech, I don´t like it at all. We also had a big presentation this Sunday in church and it began terribly. People were late and the setup ended up not working and I was just sitting there praying for some kind of recovery. Our ward GML came in clutch and brought things back for us but it still wasn´t everything that I had hoped for. Sacrament Meeting made up for it though. We had one of the Seventy with us and he basically called the ward to repentance. LIKE A BOSS!! Hahahaha really he just bore testimony of how when memebers are willing to open up their homes to us we´d be able to find more investigators to fill those homes. IT seems they both had an effect because we have 11 Member appointments this week on top of our others so we´re extremely pumped about it. It doesn´t give us much time to really do much anything but we still find while we are on the busses and trains so we´re making things work. We´re going to be meeting with AJ today so I am super pumped about that. We also got a hold of Duane and he seems a lot more docile and he really wants us to come and talk more about the Book of Mormon so cross your fingers!! I have to take off pretty quick but I just want to say that I love you all! You´re all so great and I make sure to pray for you always! I wish that I could reply to more letters but this will have to suffice for now, hopefully I will be able to get back on a little later for a bit. I know that this Gospel is true, I know that God lives, that he watches over us and that his son Jesus Christ has our backs through and through. I have fallen in love with this gospel in ways that I never have thought I would have. As I really have developed my relationship with Christ and continue to learn more about him my testimony grows stronger and stronger jeden tag. I know that as we learn more about him and truly everything he has done for us the truth of it will be confirmed to us. I have a burning desire in my heart to learn all that I can and I just can´t soak in enough information. There is no doubt in my mind of the things that Joseph saw. I know that as we look to have Charity we will recieve that gift. "Charity casteth out all fear" Remember that, we have nothing to fear as long as we´re doing the things that we should be doing. Because the lord is on our side and when we deal away with our excuses and work to be the best we can be he makes us even better. I have seen this with my own eyes. Thanks everyone for everthing! Love you all!!
