Quotes from Colter's email of Sep 28

Well, we are in Nürnberg for P-day today. I am in a suit that i bought at a thrift store for €3 and the others are in Lederhosen. haha. um... so yeah. This week was a little rough as far as missionary work went. But it was still fun. A lot of appointments fell through and got postponed. But this next week looks awesome. In the next 3 days we have i think 9 appointments, 7 being joint teaches with members. So it´s going to be awesome.

So some answers to questions: Yes, mitchell can have my martin money. I was wearing glasses in the MTC cause it´s really dry there. I would always put my contacts in when it was time for Gym, but before that i just wore glasses. I wear contacts all day here. My clothes are fine. We have a washer and we hang them up to dry whenever we need clothes. My german is coming i think. it´s still hard to understand people, but i think it´s coming, I´m really hoping that i´m absorbing lots. haha. I do spend some time studying each day. From 10-11. The wheather is great right now. It´s kind of like california where i am. Sometimes it´s warm sometimes not. It rains every couple weeks for a couple days. but yeah, the temperature has really gone down on average since i´ve been here. It´ll probably plumitt soon. haha. Most funny thing... hmmm. In a way it´s kinda of not funny. But we were having a rough day. First, we went to a place were there was supposed to be a house with 4 combacks (people that say come back later) and the missionaries before us put the wrong house number or something cause we couldn´t find it. Then, a bird pooped on Elder Achtmanns bike seat . Then, some guys drove by and asked ´hey, how can we be like you guys´all sarcastic and stuff and Elder Achtmann said, you have to be baptized by... then listed the 5 points of the gospel. It was kinda funny i thought. haha.

Then, most spiritual thing. Probably the lesson yesterday with new investigator we found from Ukraine. He´s a student here. and we just talked about the gospel for 1.5 hours. It was cool.

But yeah, everything is going great! Only 2 more weeks left in this transfer. Who knows if i´ll move or if i stay. Pres. Condie kind of likes to move greenies a lot. But Elder Achtmann has been here a while, so who knows. They might even combine the 2 Erlangen areas. Cause they are getting only 1 new Elder and 4ish are leaving. So 1 area in the mission should be closing this transfer. But yeah, this week is going to be crazy. SO many lessons, which is awesome. It sounds like everything is going well at home! Have a great year in school, and don´t stress TOO much. It´s just high school. haha. There are much bigger things in life. I look forward to hearing back!
Love,
Colter
