Things are going good here in Deutschland! This week felt pretty fast! Last P-Day after emails we had to go to the trainstation to pick up Elder Roggow. He is going to be our third companion for a while. He is from Hamburg here in Germany and he was called to the Ukraine mission. Right now he is waiting on visa problems so until then he gets to stay with us. He´s pretty neat. For realz.
On Monday after we picked up Elder Roggow we got a call from a member who was moving and needed our help. We spent the rest of our P-Day helping them move. Because of this we spent most of our P-Day on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning we got the chance to go to a Soup Kitchen run by a Convent of Nuns here. It was so funny to actually see real Nuns dressed in the same way the nuns in the Sound of Music are. I wanted to get a picture of one of them;) It was really fun to help out serving the people here. Anyone who wants to come eat can. It costs €1.50 and so a ton of poor/wierd people come but they were all awesome! Tuesday night we had a Tausch with the Groitzsch Elders again. Elder Briner went to Groitzsch and Elder Roggow and me stayed in Halle with Elder Risley. Wednesday was basically just a long day of SK until we Tausched back in Leipzig. Thursday we had District meeting here in Halle and President came to do interviews. He brought all the mail from the office and my package wasn´t there so It probly hasn´t come yet. The next time I´ll get office mail is this wednesday at Zone Training. Maybe it will be there. We´ll see.
Friday was a normal day of Missionary work. We had about an hour of SK in the Morning and then we had lunch and did Weekly Planning. For lunch we had Bratwursts. After weekly planning we had an appointment with our eternal investigator, Reiner. He still hasn´t made any progress and has been meeting with the Missionaries for over a year.
Nothing really happened on Saturday. Just our normal eating appointment with the Familie Wutzlers. We´re helping them to make their Temple plan so that they can all go to the Temple. It´s pretty neat.
Yesterday on Sunday was Ammons last time in the ward before he leaves on his mission to England. It was a good Sacrament meeting. We had a full meeting too with all his family and friends there.He´ll be a good missionary. We spent a bunch of time doing doors and SK for the rest of Sunday with pretty much no success. It was still fun though.
I was able to get my bag this last week. I included a picture of me wearing it on our street. There is also another picture that might need some explaining. So when we had President Interviews on Thursday, I asked about an ingrown toenail that I have had since the second week of the MTC. She got mad at me´and said I was dumb for waiting so long. It was funny and she just reacted the same way that you would, Mom. She told me I needed to go to a doctor and get it looked at and until it gets better I need to wear Flip-Flops. That is why i´m wearing them in the other picture of me drinking Coke.
With the money situation, I bought my bag and then a couple of Cd´s. I didn´t plan very well and then had to buy train tickets to Leipzig. It would have worked out but my Missionary account didn´t have enough to buy them because I was waiting on some refunds from past tickets and my monthly pass for the trams here in Halle. It´s hard especially when I can´t tell you whats going on or what I need to buy during the week and theres certain things that we are supposed to buy with personal money and not the missionary money. I´ll try to do my best to tell you how much I need and what i´m going to buy beforehand going forward.
Ich glaube das ist alles. Danke für alles! Ich habe sie lieb!
Love,
Elder Trevor Bone
