(in order to get caught up I will just copy and past the letter. No corrections! Good luck, it will take about for our five letters and you will understand him)
Thats crazy Berlin Germany is crazy cold in the winter but im sure he
isnt to worried about that but thinking about that i dont know how i am
going to survive my first winter home i get cold when its 70 out side
and thats only while i sleep even when we use air con it only gets down
to about 70 so ya i think i might just stay inside all winter but thats
ok its forever away but its so weird because people keep asking me how
ling ive been on my mission and i have to think its so cool how that
works but this week has been a little hard with our new zone leader he
is changing everything most of it is really good and can help us but
know he is having us as district leaders report on the obedience of our
elders one problem my district is my companion and the zone leaders so i
feel weird rating them but last night i had a little bit of time so i
made an equation using things from the missionary handbook and and a
form we use for self rating after splitz and turns out my district is
only 75% obedient so we have some work to do some of it is simple like
working out every morning and things like that but it still needs to be
fixed not sure what happened but after i left Dulag i stopped working
out but that changed this morning because we went and played basketball
for a few hours and it felt really good to play its been a while since
we have played for real. but we have a plan to start going to the gym
every morning at about 5 so we have the exercise and still have time to
get ready and eat before 8 so we can start our personal study on
time............ OUCH! this is becoming really difficult to think in
English i actually tried to the other day on the phone with a member and
i just switched back to warry warry right away and i just asked my
companion what dayun is in english and he didnt know so i had to think
for a minute and its right away kind of not sure if thats translates
right and people ask me all the time to help with English and a lot of
the time i have no idea its nice talking to the American missionaries
because it doesnt have to be straight English it can be mixed with warry
warry or tagalog or even cebuano its really nice but i was talking to
my companion the other day and if i only have Filipino companions until i
go home i am going to forget English and my spelling is horrible i keep
using spell check and i still don't correct it all well this week was
different we only taught 4 lessons again and attendance dropped to 55
but turns out our branch president was think about asking to be released
luckily during PEC we were able to help him and we gave him a blessing
and sunday he was early to church and we were able to get everything
ready that we could but we were still short one speaker so i got to
speak again im getting pretty good at it its actually fun now because i
get to teach the whole branch and they cant tell me they are to busy for
us to teach and people are starting to actually listen one problem
right now is school is about to get out this is their last week so
parents have to work extra hard to get money for their kids to be able
to pay for the teacher to sign the paper saing they graduated or they
can move on the the next grade we have a few YW that should have
graduated last year but because they were short on money she had to
repeat her 4th year of high school so not fair but i guess thats how it
goes here but we had splitz with the zone leaders this week and i got to
work with the new elder he is an amazing person and knows what needs to
be done but hard to teach with we worked in his area and i basicly
taught the whole thing but when he did teach it was strait from the
spirit so thats good i actually got in and started with his plan for
teaching and then it didnt feel right so i started asking a bunch of
questions until i was able to ask that one inspired question turns out
she had been praying but not if the church or Book of Mormon were true
it was an awesome lesson not sure yet if she was at church yesterday but
ill find out later well i love you all so much and pray for you always
and thank you for your prayers i know they help bye bye
