Hey. Wow I just wrote a long e-mail and the internet in this building went down lol. The picture is President and Sister Matern with me. Well Im here in the Swizz finally. It is so beautiful. My first area is Ewallangen (mom's note: we think it may be Emmendingen or Ebingen) I believe or something like that. It is at the northern most part of my mission. They supposedly speak really high hoch Deutsch. Which will help me learn the language I believe. My companions name starts with an M and then I forget the rest of his name. He is from Great Britan and I have been told he has very good German. Sorry if my spelling is bad Im using a German keyboard and it is actually hard. Since I have been here I have heard people speak to me in German, French, Italian, and English. Even announcements and advertisements are in multiple languages. I have already tried German chocolate and bread. They are both so amazing. Sorry I would put exclamation marks in here but unfortunately I do not know where it is on this keyboard.
I did not get another chance to talk to someone on the plane. It was a good flight that gave me about 5 hours of sleep and two meals. They also played movies and shows like the Simpsons that seemed to be there simply to tempt me. Do not worry though I only watched the funny stuff (just kidding). It is weird to think that after today me and elder Blomquist will no longer be companions. We are both going somewhere totally different and will learn different things and talk to different types of people. I got to meet the mission president and the two APs all of them are extremely kind and have kindly helped us with our German and told us not to worry about the fact that we can not understand hardly anything.
Im so sorry that I did not call back. As soon as the phone cut off I noticed they were boarding the flight early so I had to go. I was still pretty sad about losing a lot of time with gate problems on our first flight plus the phone problems in Atlanta. Yet, in two weeks Ill be able to call back and in only a week Ill write an e-mail talking about my mission. I love you mom and dad so much. I hope everything is going great and Im glad I was able to talk to you today. I know it is like 3am in New Mexico right now. I hope you are doing great bye.
