Subject: gifts and a golden?
Hello Family!
Happy Monday! To answer
some of Mom´s questions, I don´t really know what I want for my birthday or
Christmas... McCormick rubs would be nice, BBQ, maple brown sugar(or something
like that). I´m not a big fan of the mesquite or the hamburger rub. Some
cholulu (spelling probably wrong there) sauce, it´s a red spicy sauce, kind of
like tabasco but not. I would love a more recent picture of the family (the one
I have was taken before Taylor left on his mission). I´ve always wanted a
christmas package with letters and stuff from a primary class, that would be
pretty awesome :) Other than that... amazon.de is a good option, much less on
shipping and pretty reliable I´m sure if you have any other ideas.
Elder Mann asked me if
there was anything he should do specifically while in our area, so I gave him a
suggestion ;) nothing crazy, don't worry. and yes, my address is east of
Wetzlar. [Note: Elder D Mann is serving in Hayden's home ward and visiting his parent's-us]
News from transfer
calls: I´m staying (surprise), Elder Domine will head off to Frankfurt so we´ll
still see each other for zone conferences (Frankfurt and Friedrichsdorf zones
are together for that). AND, I´m Training!!! Ahhh! I´m so excited :) Nervous
too. A big mix of emotions, but mostly excited. I feel like I´ve barely been
with people other than my trainer (since I have, two transfers, two companions
in between) and now I´m training. I have heard of people who trained right
after they finished being trained, I´m glad I´m not doing that, I feel a lot
more prepared today than I would´ve been then. I´ll pray a lot and give my best
to give this new missionary a great start to his mission. Or maybe he´ll be a
German who has already served a bunch of mini missions and he´ll be the one
training me. :) I´ll learn a lot either way, I´m sure.
Elder Domine and I do a lot of contacting (finding, tracting [door-to-door],
looking for people to teach, whatever you want to call it). We´ve found more people
to teach during this one transfer than I have during the rest of my mission so
far, it´s been awesome. We don´t have any people who we consistently teach yet,
but it´s been so cool to be led to these people who have been prepared, who
listen to us on the streets and occasionally in their homes even. As I´ve
worked to talk with, to share with more people I´ve found that I have more
faith that there are people prepared to lesson, I have more love for these
people who are almost strangers (so many people are so open in some of these conversations
on the street, strangers doesn´t quite fit) and enjoyment in contacting. I know
that I have a purpose out here, that God leads and guides this work and I am so
grateful to be a part of it.
Liebe Grüße!
Hayden
