Hello loving family,
Well I guess I could start off with a weather report,
because it sounds really weird back at home.
You said that it's really hot back at home? Well, it has rained almost everyday here for
the past week.
I saw sunlight this morning but it's already gone
again. And I am not a weatherman, but
it's crazy up here because it feels like there is soo much moisture in the air,
that it's like your walking through mist the whole day. It's cool and I am not complaining, but I
will be happy to see the sun again one of these days. I have also been informed
by several locals that this is how the north part of Germany is like till
February or March. But we will see.
We had a zone training meeting this last week and that
was always fun. We were able to have the president at this one. Afterwards, Elder Morton (my companion) and I
were able to go on exchange with our AP's.
That was fun especially because we were in a car. It is a rarity to be in a car and it not be a
members car. We keep petitioning to try
and get a car for our area, since we saw
that we were able to get so much done in that time. We were even able to contact some members
that have not been able to be at church for a while, so we are glad that we can
work with them. They were just happy
that we came by and that we didn't forget about them. So please family, do your home and visiting
teaching. It really helps and those that
may be going through a hard time can receive comfort knowing that someone is
thinking about them.
But this week seemed to fly by. We have been hitting the pavement a little
more and found some success. It is
interesting to think that time goes by faster when you keep yourself busy. We
have been finding people that are interested to here more about the gospel. We hope that those appointments that we made
out with them end up sticking and we are able to do all we can to meet with
them.
Thank you for the money for the shoes, I already bought a
new pair and I am hoping that these will last me for the rest of my time. I will make sure to take good care of them,
but I really do not have a good track record when it comes to shoes.
We were also able to see a tender mercy this last
week. After church, we had a random lady
show up at church. And now I have it
programmed in me that if I see an unfamiliar face at church, that I need to
introduce myself. It was a great experience because she just moved into Kiel
and she wants to go to a church that is close to her at home and we were it.
I'm not complaining. We told her that
she can come whenever she wants! So we gave her a tour of the church and then a
Book of Mormon. She said she will come next week, so that was a great
experience.
That gives me shivers to think Christmas is around the
corner. I try not to think about
it. But my "Christmas list" I
have no idea what I could ask for. I
think I could just get things here.
Apparently from what my companion said is that we can get things super
cheap right after Christmas. So... Yeah
we can talk about it more as time comes close.
Oh hey, tell Kevin I said happy early birthday!! How old
is he now? His present from last year is still sitting on my desk. I
think I will just send him a picture of what I got him so he knows what he gets
when I get home. I know I am horrible at
these things but I'm trying to get better!
If you want to ask about the iPad you can always call the
mission office, because they would know how to do it. Ask for Elder Curtis. From what they have told me, they are just going to take
it out of my account for my mission money. I don't know, here we call it MSF
but I don't know if there was another word for it.
That is cool that we have sisters now, and yes I do know
elder peacock. He goes home soon but I served with him in the same zone back in
Hamburg. How is the mission work going
at home? What do the new sisters think? When I come home, I just want to be a
home teacher. And I want wherever I am living to give me all the people
that have a hard time coming to church and I will go out there and visit them.
I love you all and I hope all is going well. We will talk
next week!
Auf Wiedersehen!
Elder Bretzing
