Week 33 BJF Jun 29

Schönen guten Morgen, these last two weeks have been hard to remember.
The first one was mainly spend running around on the streets in the
nice summer weather. The humidity is about as thick back in Texas so
naturally we're sweating about 98% of the time. Germans don't believe
in A/C and for some reason they don't believe in fans either. However
this past week has cooled down significantly and now we're
appreciating the cooler weather much more.

As for missionary work we've had lots of fallen out appointments and
can't seem to find many new people so unfortunately I don't have any
huge miracles or success stories to share. Just little everyday
miracles and some pleasant happenings. Earlier today well buying some
new shoes to replace my age old pair one of the employees became very
interested in our shirt & tie business and asked if we're some sort of
preachers. After I tried on my new shoes another employee took it to
the register well this nice guy began asking all sorts of questions
about what we teach and if he can meet and learn more sometime. So
yeah lesson learned, everything we do as missionaries leads us
somewhere to meet someone. Even buying sneakers.

Last week (just a quick recap) we traveled out to Aachen, a city on
the border of Germany with quite a lot of history. So we thought we'd
go have a picnic by some Old Panzers which are close by the Aachen
Church Building. And that's what this weeks pictures will consist of.
We then got lost, confused, and then left behind by our train. I kid
you not the front car literally detached and left us sitting at a
random Bahnhof in between Köln and Aachen. But it all worked out in
the end and we had a party.

Last Tuesday our Ward mission leader (he's awesome) told us about some
crazy sale at an expensive store. So that's what we did today after
finding some sneakers and browsing a few other stores, Elder Holyoak
and I bought some very nice 200-300€ suits for about 25€. I kid you
not they are the fanciest suits we've ever had and they were legit
that cheap (about $27). I didn't think they could be sold for so
cheap. We're still freaking out. We'll do a little companionship
photoshoot sometime and I'll put those photos on next week, and yes we
bought matching colors #compgoals

We're now with the Euskirchen Elders preparing the most complex curry
I have ever seen, 6 weeks in the preparation. I'll let you know if it
puts anyone in the hospital.

Bis nächste Woche
Liebe -Elder Füller

P.s. Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes, I don't feel any older.
