My Own Chicken & Asparagus

This letter is from last week, we got it Thursday the 30th:
This last week started off kinda boring. On Monday we didnt have anything going on so we pretty much sat around and nothing happened. Also we couldnt get a hold of anyone for Monday night so absolutely nothing happened Monday, that would of been the 20th. On Tuesday we had district meeting. Only four people in our district so its really wierd. Basically everyone did about 2 or 3 things each. Afterwards me and Elder Anderson went on an exchange. We went up to Esslingen for two days. While we were there I got to meet a lot of members up there. A lot of them are related to members in our ward so I got to ask them a little about some people in our ward. Like normally everyone was nice. (how come there is not a least one jerk just to make it interesting) They fed us a ton and it all tasted great.
There was one older lady we went by on, her husband was the first stake president in Stuttgart a long time ago when Stuttgart became its own stake. She told us all about how she got to meet President Monson (when he was still an Apostle) and all the other apostles and people she got to meet. She fed us the most. We each got our own chicken and asparagus.... some one must be telling people I like asparagus.
We even met a less active that had recently become active. His roommate had thought the missionaries where cool when they went by and so he used to sit in too and listen, he got baptized about 3 weeks ago. Everyone was way nice. Afterwards we exchanged back and me and elder mildon went by on some less actives and investigators. Not a lot exciting happened with anyone, Claudia is having her tests these next two weeks and so wont be able to meet with us, but she plans on getting baptized the week after her tests are over. We did get to go by Franchesco an investigator the Reutlingen elders had before they left. We knocked on the door and he told us he had no interest anymore and closed it on us. Kinda sad, he even had a baptismal date. We went by a less active in Reutlingen that was really nice though.
We walked about 4 kilometers in the rain and were completely soaked by the time we got there. We forgot our umbrellas. He asked a lot of deep questions and was really interested in learning. He even taught us a little russian so we could say hello to his wife and family. They were all really nice even though they didnt understand a thing we said. We met with our ward mission leader later in the week. He was excited for the new young less actives and investigators we had met and contacted in the past two weeks. We set up a plan for them and what we would like to do for each one. At first our ward mission leader didnt really seem to like us too much but now he is really excited and helping a lot.
On Sunday Claudia and her cousin Jens came to church. Jens comes every week on his own since I have been transfered here. He started wearing a suit the second week he came. He is way nice and open. We havnt yet been able to meet with his outside of church but hopefully this week he comes to institute and we can talk with him there. We talked a little about the priesthood callings with Claudia during the second hour. She knows a lot but it was still good to go over it all and Im pretty sure she learned a lot and so did we lol. Afterward we went by a family to eat lunch with, they made about 4 pots of chicken broth stuff... for us! Yeah i ate about four bowls and was done. After that we went by and saw if some people were home on Sunday in Reutlingen, no dice. So that was about it for our week. Only that on Monday we went to the military base with a less active and we ended up getting more american food lol. I did have a problem using my military ID card, they let me use it at the exchange but then at the commissary they said I couldn't.  A group of managers came over and had a heated discussion which basically ended with them saying because Dad lives in America I can't use it here.  I don't know why.  But - America is great.
Well thats about it love you all Tschuss
