Week 49 BJF Oct 19

Is that Dapple? Sancho's donkey? Wait that's Spain's Don Quixote!

 Well howdy,

I suppose it's about time I send out an update on the German happenings.

Christmas seems to have come very early this year. The district has
randomly become excited about Weihnachten despite the fact that it
doesn't come for another month and a half... and I seem to have joined
in on the premature holiday frivolities.
Granted at home I wouldn't dare start celebrating til at least after
Thanksgiving but as a missionary in Germany, Christmas is simply
always the best time of the year. The sisters in my district are
particularly excited and I've found myself humming a few holiday tunes
while pulling out my winter clothes and attempting not to skip the
other holidays. I'm only slightly freaking out.

In other news, our mission has suddenly been given Facebook. A lot of
missions use it to get in contact with the people they teach so
somebody thinks it will work on the Germans too.
As a rule just so y'all know, as a missionary I'm not allowed to
respond to anything you lovely people are doing on Social media in
order to keep my focus here. So just don't be too surprised when I'm
suddenly back on the internet dropping general conference quotes in
some foreign language :)

As for mission life, our main Spanish man is out of the country so
we're hoping we'll be able to keep working with him while he's
traveling. (Probably using Facebook)
We've also got another friend who popped up almost out of nowhere.
He's from Nigeria and we met with him a few times but he kind of just
went under the radar for a little while as we didn't think he had too
much interest. Last week he suddenly came to general conference and
then the following Sunday. And now he has a date for baptism. I didn't
expect that at all.
We've got the opportunity this Saturday to go with him to Duisburg for
the baptism of their legendary investigator (from Ghana, was mentioned
previously). It should be quite the party.

Last week we went to a Roman museum. Unfortunately they wouldn't let
us play frisbee in the coliseum.
Today we went to a oversized mall and just wasted time. About sums it up.

Nothing too exciting yet, I hope y'all are doing fantastic, and I'll
talk to ya später.

In Wesel quaint clean cobblestone streets...

  

 wreak havoc on this elder's very nice shoes. Looks like he needs a new sole, not soul!

I love these cute Elder's expressions waiting for the train in rain.
