We had a fun week this week

Monday we had p day as normal didn't do a whole lot. We went shopping and did normal p day stuff. Nothing too exciting. Then we went to the Wlokas for family home evening. Had some food and played a few games.

Tuesday we went finding in the crazy weather. It snowed and then was sunny then it rained then it snowed and then it was sunny(kinda like Utah weather) then we had a lesson with an older couple in the branch here, The Winklers, it was a fun short little visit and they finally learned my name. I am no longer referred too as elder Colorado. After the lesson with them we went to teach German and English class. Its weird that we are teaching a language that we don't know but its actually easier to explain than English is.

Wednesday we had district meeting then we went to districts lunch. There are not a ton of places to eat here in magdeburg that missionaries can eat at (most are too expensive or they are a bar and not a good place for us) then we went and did some contacting. Not a whole lot to do other than search for people. Then we had an appointment with Johanna we started a family search profile for her and there's not much genealogy done for camaroon. She has a lot of work ahead of her but she is excited.

Thursday we had planned to go finding for almost a whole day. But president Romney asked if we wanted to go to Barby and teach a few lessons. So we did and that was most of our day then i got sick so i we went home and i went to bed.

Friday we did our weekly planning and then we had a lesson with Marian. He is progressing so well we just need Galia to get divorced so they can get married. We did a Q&A with him about the book of Mormon. He is really reading and liking it so its so awesome. We helped him find his answers and the he needed a little help with his apartment so we helped him. Then we went looking for some new people but no one was out in the cold.

Saturday we went looking for an appointment we had made with a guy. But we got to the address and his name wasn't on the klingle. We searched and couldn't find it. So we went up and down the street looking and we found the rudest lady i have met from Germany so far. As we looked at the klingle for the house she grabbed the name tag of my companion and saw Kirche Jesu Christi on it. She then told us that no one here wanted us and to continue onward. It was quite the word selection she used. Then Marc Schulzs came to visit us. He lives in leipzig and loves missionaries. He keeps track of how many he meets in his travels and i am number 500. it was a special day so he took us out to eat. Then afterwards we went looking for more people to teach because our soccer game fell out. We were able to find a few so that's always awesome.

Sunday we went to church because that's what we do on Sunday. Then we had an eating appointment with Marian and Galia. We had food and played a little game of uno. I got killed the first hand but got my revenge by winning every hand for the rest of the game. (all three) then we went home and did our studies overall it was a good week
