Hey friends! there is some pretty interesting news this week, i guess. I got a call from the mission president today, and i am going to Lauenburg again this thursday! I got transferred my last transfer, back to a town that i´ve already been in! that doesnt happen very often. It was quite a surprise for me, because i was sure i was going to end my mission here in Minden. i will be getting a very new companion, he is only a few weeks here in Germany. I will also be district leader, which means number monkey. wa-hoo. it will be cool to see the ward there again, i have some pretty good friends there. Of course, it will be sad to leave Minden, as well, especially cuz i was totally expecting to stay. Last saturday we had an activity with the other missionaries in Hannover area, first we had a street display and sang for 2 hours, then we played soccer for 4 hours, and then we all went to the church and saw a movie, `the best 2 years`, about missionaries in Holland. It was funny to hear them in the movie speaking Hollandish, because it´s kinda like a sloppy German. heh. it was a great movie, though, really motivated me to get to work my last few weeks. the problem with the bike took care of itself. i found a misisonary here who is willing to buy it for the price of repairs, that is, 85 euro, and then when i get to Lauenburg, there is a bike there i can use for free ´til i go home. so, no sweat. funny how things seem so terrible and then have a way of working themselves out. I had a talk yesterday in church again-about the ´path to perfection´. went well, i guess. just so you know. I am doing well. i am happy, and even though this week is going to be hectic, i am optomistic and looking forward to going to Lauenburg. And home. ´til then!
