I spent an hour and 20 minutes writing an e-mail (cause we found a way around the time limit) and then I lost it! So I'm pretty sad right now.
A few things I forgot to mention last week I need to mention. I actually got a tentanus shot the first day i was here cause I wasn't up to date enough. I also developed some weird skin condition and you're going to probably get a $30 bill for some prescriptions they gave me. Other then that everything has been going pretty well still.
Thanks for all the stuff you've sent me. My Ipod, the food, gum, and shirts are amazing. I must admit I'm so happy for all the letters and packages I've recieved from everyone. I'm surprised how many people have written me since I've been out here.
I'm also getting my patriartical blessing today. Which is pretty sweet.
Elder Leishman, my roommate, is pretty amazing. He was talking about how he played music and recorded and stuff. At first I was like ok whatever. But, I found out later he is pretty good. In fact he is paying for his mission off of what he gets from people buying his music on Itunes! He only has 1 CD on there right now. His band is "I am echo" it's only him though. He plays all the instruments and vocals. I havn't got to hear it yet but he is such a fun cool guy I bet it's pretty awesome.
We got to teach the first lesson in Preach my Gospel on Tuesday completly in German. It was pretty fun. For 45 minutes we talked in only German and it's not like it's just memorized lines cause we have to be able to address any concern they have. It was pretty cool. Even though my companion is much better at German. Every now and then I would hear him teaching and relized I knew how to say something that applied so I would interupt and say something like "I know that Jesus Christ was our Saviour" and then there would be like an awkward silence and my companion would just give me a look like "are you going to say anything else, stupid?" It was way cool though. We acutally ended up switching to the second lesson half-way through cause the investigator had a lot of questions about Adam and Eve and why God made us. So it was pretty intense.
German is going great, and so is Preach my Gospel. We learn so much about the culture out in Europe I can't wait to just get out there so I can see what it's like.
Could I please get Zach's mailing address? I don't have it and I don't have the ability to send more then one e-mail so I would be interested in getting his address. I'm sorry to anyone I have not been able to write to yet I love you all but time here is so short. I hope you all have a great week cause my time has been cut short from the e-mail that failed. Sorry
Love, Elder Ffej Hargett_v2
