Hey!

First off, I am sorry Mom that this email is coming on Thursday. I can only imagine the heartache that this has caused. Haha, we've just had a super busy week and haven't even had P-day yet, and probably won't have it at all. We just came over to the Seelos's for dinner and jumped on their computers for a little bit. 

But yeah, like I said, pretty busy week. Monday was Pfingst Montag, so the mission moved P-day to Tuesday, so on Monday we just did a bunch of visits to some former investigators. Not a whole lot of results, but it was nice to get out and hit the streets ... But it's also been pretty freaking hot lately, so that was fun. Then on Tuesday, which should have been P-day, we helped with a move for the whole day basically and then had our Gemeinde Abend. On Wednesday, we went to Jena for a joint district meeting with the Erfurt district, so that was way fun. Elder Hawker (aka Keaton, my EFY roommate from back in the day) and I are back together in the same zone again, so that's pretty sweet. We took a picture on top of the tallest building in Thuringen last week (29 stories!!! lol) so I'll send you guys that on Tuesday hopefully - no Monday P-day again, sorry! But then today we helped with the same move again, literally all day haha. So.... we're pretty tired. 

But things are going really well. On Saturday and Monday we have a huge opportunity at a festival called "Wir alle sind die Welt" (We are all the world) where we're going to present ourselves and the church as a part of world culture with roots in America, so that will be fun. It's a big thing with people representing their countries from all over the world, so it will be cool. We're going to get a lot of help from other missionaries in the zone so we're excited. 

Sounds like things are good with you guys! And side note, the other elder from Gera and I are comps now since there is only one companionship in Gera now, and fun fact, he was my MTC companion as well, Elder Renn. Pretty interesting to be with each other over a year later. But we've got transfers again on Saturday so we'll see what happens. 

Haha but yeah, that's about it from my side. All is well. Hope you guys have a great week, und viel Spaß beim Fußballgucken!
