This week was a really fun week! I was in Elmshorn for the week and had a lot of fun with the two elders here. I like that about journals, when you look back at a large period of time it's hard to remember anything, but smaller one are a lot easier. And look for the unusual stuff, does anyone want to hear "nothing exciting happened" I don't think so.

Monday was elder Paul's last day. We did our normal p day stuff then he packed, we went to family home evening, he said goodbye we went to the train station and left for Elmshorn.

Tuesday we got up at 6:00 and went to the train station. Said goodbye to him and the he got on the train and I never saw him again. We went back and did our normal studies then went out to work. It was raining a lot both Tuesday and Wednesday, a big rain cloud came over the north and just stopped,there wasn't wind to keep it moving so it got over us and just dumped for almost two days straight. Tuesday night I had another family home evening and that was fun

Wednesday we had our district meeting in Glückstadt, nothing too exciting happened at it, mostly follow up on goals. Then we went to Heide for a lesson, the guy is from Afghanistan and speaks some German, fluent in Persian the problem is that he can't read or write, that will make things a little harder, but he is really nice and keeps having us back to teach him! Then we went back to Heide had an eating appointment with some members and waited,out the rain storm, it never stopped so we rode home in it and got absolutely soaked! ( we were all in suits, luckily mine was an all polyester apartment special so there was no damage done.)

Thursday we had a really normal missionary day, we visited a lot of alone older sisters ( we are allowed to do that in a Dritt) then we just did normal missionary work. This was the first day we didn't get drenched with rain, but the sun was gone so it was pretty chilly.

Saturday was transfer calls. Not much changes in our district, the two old people die but no one else is leaving. My new companion will be Elder Lawyer, I don't know anything about him except elder Bankhead thinks he's in the group after him, so I could be sending another one home. Then we went to a members house had lunch and started our fast for fast Sunday.

Sunday we had church it was fast and testimony meeting, that was fun, I'm now to where I can really understand what is said, it's not hard at all, I just have to listen. Their investigator didn't show up so we went to the YSA class that was a little weird. The first time I've been somewhere with YSAs but German YSAs are weird, the ones that have gone on missions and been Americanized are pretty fun though. Then we had a ward barbecue and that was my week.
