Desire to Learn: Mainz Week 21



July 27, 2015
Subject: desire to learn

Hello Family!

Weddings! Sarah and Nils, so good [note: Hayden’s Cousin Sara’s wedding was end of July in Utah] ! Elder Cloward´s older brother was married last Tuesday. While he´s been on his mission his brother got engaged then married, totally possible for Taylor. Keep me updated :) We were in the temple in Germany at the same time they were probably in the temple getting married. Have a fun trip and a good time in Utah then. Thanks for the update on Emily too, glad to hear she´s having so much fun out there.

On my side of the world: Unfortunately we haven`t had contact with Marco for a while, we don´t really know what´s going on in his life. Elder Cloward and I are still together for at least another week and a half. Transfer calls are on Saturday this week [8/1], don`t send anything to Mainz.

Actually, as a rule for anyone sending me packages (don´t be shy) Send them to
    Elder Hayden Blanchard
    Corneliusstraße 18     
    60235 Frankfurt am Main
    Deutschland/Germany
       [for us Americans a ‘ß’ is a double s or ss]

We´ll see, should I stay or should I go? Other things going on, 2 small families came to church on Sunday and are interested in learning more so that was exciting for our ward. Today I worked on setting some goals and making plans for my study time. Preach my Gospel talks about how getting good results from your study depends on having a strong desire to learn, studying with “real intent” (Moroni 10:4), “hunger[ing] and thirst[ing] after righteousness” (Matthew 5:6) and searching for answers to the questions and concerns of those whom you teach. So much of that simply has to do with having a desire to learn, grow, and improve. I want to be a better missionary, to teach better, to work harder and really do what God would have me do out here.

Till next week,
Love,
Hayden
