Monday was almost a regular p day but we switched out some time so that we could go to the museum on elder Gibbs birthday. So we just did the normal p day things but we went to this really cool antiques store. The guy specializes in WWII stuff so that was cool. He had a lot of Nazi propaganda things. But i didn't have enough money to buy most of what he had.. Then after we were don't there we went to the Wlkoas and had family home evening.
Tuesday was elder Gibbs's birthday so we had a surprise for him and went to the museum it is a really cool little museum it has the normal natural history that you can find at every museum but what was really cool was the Magdeburg history part. It has the history of the city from about 500 ad until present day. There is a lot of cool things from Martin Luther and a ton of stuff from WWII. I got some really cool pictures. Some of the things it has is Nazi propaganda and the stars of David that they made Jews wear. Along with registration papers from Jews it was a really cool history. Then it had videos from after it was bombed. The whole city was destroyed it was so weird. I guess before the bombing the main street that we go finding on Breiter Weg was voted one of the prettiest streets in all of Europe.
After we were finished at the museum we had a lesson with Claudius. He is a less active that has been meeting with the missionaries for probably 6 years. He is really smart but wrapped in anti material. Anyways we had a good lesson with him and invited him to our activity on Friday.
Then we taught English class. It mostly consists of helping with little grammar and the stuff they don't teach you in school (like how to say times and stuff) we had a really good time with that
On Wednesday we had district meeting. And that was fun like always. We have a really fun district. After it was over i went on exchange with elder glyssmeyer to Köthen. We had some fun conversations and i found out that his dads works really close to my dads work. His dad is the owner of Second Nature in Duchesne. That night we taught English class in Köthen. Its not nearly as fun as ours is. We just did some translating and tried to help a lady with a second grade level comprehension test. Then we waited at the church for our nightly call in phone call because their cell phone is broken.
Thursday we did some finding in Köthen and when we had met our goal we went to Dilan Dönner and i had the ''Riesen Dönner'' this thing was bigger than my head and its been a challenge in our district to finish it. I joined the club of only 3 who have been able to do in so i felt accomplished.
Then we got on the train and went back to Magdeburg. We exchanged back and then me and elder Germann had a lesson with Johanna. She is doing awesome and basically taught us the lesson.
Friday was a little crazy it was all normal until about two hours before our activity. Marion, one of our baptismal dates called us in a panic and said he needed our council. we ran from finding too the church because it sounded urgent. when we got there he told us what had happened. apparently the electric company stopped taking money from his account and without warning his power was shut off. They still have the hot water and heat, just no electricity. for him this wasn't a big deal but Galia was traumatized because today is her birthday. Luckily we were able to save it by offering the church for her birthday party.
Then we had an activity at the church. we showed the movie The Testaments. we didn't have as good as turn out as we wanted but it was good Marion and Galia came and so did Claudius. it was the first time he had been in a church in 15 years. the Romneys bought food for 30 people we didn't have near that many people so Marion and i had a eating contest. I won because that's what i do.
Saturday we had Üntersucher Fußball Spiel. it was really fun the turf was covered in snow so it was more like ice skating. other than that not a whole lot happened. it snowed so not many people were on the street.
Sunday we had church and then the Wlokas had us over for lunch. after lunch we did our studies and went to some appointments but no one was home.
I love you guys and all is good here in Germany ill be praying for you all.
