Lots of appointments, trying to get a visa so I don't get kicked out
of the country, discovering the many ways to use Bratwurst and
Kartoffel, I'm probably eating too much sugar and seeing all sorts of
weird stuff on the streets.
This last week I went on another exchange/split this time with one of
the zone leaders (Elder J). so I got to spend the day in Frankfurt
then later in the evening we went to Mainz for an interview the ZL had
to do. So I went on a mini-split with another Elder (Elder D) who
was also on a split with the Mainz Elder (Elder S) so while
Elders J and S did the interview I went street contacting
with Elder D
(we did a split while we were both on a split, a split within a split,
like splitception or something)
What's really cool about any other missionaries is you see them for
the first time ever and you're already best friends cuz you're both
missionaries. "Oh you're a Elder? Me too! Did we just become best
friends!?" And it's literally every missionary, Senior and Sister
missionaries too.
On Saturday we had a Weihnachtsfeier (Christmas party) so the members
had a program then all the kids dressed up and made a little nativity.
The kids here are starting to become my favorites. They speak German I
can understand and they're all so much fun to mess with.
I was moving some tables so naturally a few jumped on and demanded I
roll them around, so instead of giving into their demands I called
them fat and they just kept giggling and arguing that I'm the fat one.
They're all between 3-7 and have teeny German accents.
(Yeah I know the 5 year olds speak better German than me, hush)
The members here are very helpful. We don't have many in Offenbach but
they join us for investigator lessons, we even got a few investigators
to come to the Feier and the members were inviting and super helpful.
Regular members are normally better missionaries than we are.
This next week we've got transfers so since a bunch of people are
going home and not so many are coming in, we've got a bit of an odd
situation. Elder Blau is going home this week and We found out Elder
Barker is getting transferred to Wesel. In the end since we don't have
a lot of newbies they decided not to give us any other Elders for back
up, from now on it's just Elder Davis and I in all of Offenbach. This
will be a challenge as the other Elders were doing a whole lot of work
so now we've got 2 missionaries to do the work of 4 and then some.
Today for Pday since it's Elder Blau's last one we went to the
Weihnachtsmarkt in Frankfurt. It's a massive place with countless
shops for food drinks and trinkets. We've bumped into about a dozen
other missionaries exploring just like us.
Other than that there isn't much too say.
Until next week-Elder Fuller
SO FOR PICTURES....
3-5 it has gotten colder and it's usually very foggy. I understand why
so many ghost stories come from Europe. (this was one of the less
foggy days)
6 -the spiderwebs are covered in ice and are fun to mess with.
7- Elder Blau stretches his Lederhosen while Elder Davis makes a sandwich.
Not the best angle as this is the clearest picture I got.
8-9 the view from the top of galleria Kaufhof.
