My German is coming along. Elder B. and i probably speak more English than we should...but Its still coming along. I can hold a conversation pretty well and don't have to rely on My comp ever. Sometimes for words, but that's really all. Also, I just finished the Book of Mormon in German all the way through! I didn't understand everything of course, But i got what was going on so that was fun. This week was pretty good. A. and A. came to church again, which is a huge measure of faith. Cause A. is the one with the car, and so they drove 45 min in order to come to church. That's pretty expensive too. its about 1,30 Euro per Liter. I have no idea how much that is in dollars. to fill our tank (we have a car again) it takes 55 €. So that's awesome that they come. Also, this last week i went on an exchange with the zone leaders in München and so i got to go to München with an amazing missionary and a amazing guy. He is from Utah, and went to BYU for a year originally to play football. But he didn't like the coach, so he quit before the season. But he was still at BYU and hated it there too. He was also pretty much inactive as he was there. Which is a HUGE surprise, cause he is just amazing. I learned a lot in my 20ish hours with him. Besides that... the week was pretty normal. A couple fallen out appointments, a lot of rejection, but that's normal haha. I don't mean to sound pecimistic, but it is the sad truth. We had an appointment this week, and it went pretty well (even though our Joint Teach didn't stick to the plan and went a little too deep than was necessary), but then at the end the woman said that she was going to read the book of Mormon and that we could come back...but we should come back in a year...so that was annoying. But oh well. A joke here is that the biggest enemy of missionary work is free agency...but its all right. We still found a new investigator this week...Have a great week!
