Hey,

Things are going good. This past week was another hard one. Things are pretty hard right now, but it’s all good. We're trying our best, so we'll find someone eventually. We got to meet with Reimund twice this past week, which was great. He didn't come to church on Sunday, though, which was a bummer. It was way cool, though, the last time when we were biking with Reimund - I was on the Tandem with him and he told me to call him after I get off my mission. Which was way cool. He is such a cool guy. He understands everything great, too. He's totally ready to be baptized and stuff. Then on Friday night, we didn't get home until, like, 10:30, because we were in a town called Kehl on the border of France. We went and visited with a less active lady there. First, we were waiting in the Bahnhof (station) - our train was, like, 30 minutes late. It was supposed to leave at, like, 8:30. So it didn't show up until, like, 9:00. Then we got on the train, and it moved, like, 20 yards maybe, stopped, and then, like, 10 minutes later the train driver dude says that the train in front of us caught on fire! So we could be delayed 20-60 minutes. He didn't know. Then finally, he said that no more trains would be going to Offenburg for the rest of the night! So we had to take a taxi back to Offenburg. It was a way interesting night. So after all that jazz, and waiting on a taxi, we didn't get home until, like, 10:30. I know why were supposed to be home at 9:00 or 9:30 now (lol). Saturday night we went to the house of the family we teach, called the Zillkens. It was way cool. They had a Spiel Abend (game night) and had, like, 14 people at their house, and stuff. We played this game called Werewolf. It was way fun and cool. Then we helped someone move in Freiburg, too, on Saturday. On Wednesday, I was in Zürich (Zurich) for a leadership training thing. That was pretty good. On the 28th, there is another training thing in Zürich and all 3 zones in Switzerland are going to be there. That is going to be like 60 Elders and Sisters. It’s going to be crazy - but awesome, too - to be with all those missionaries.

But like I said, the past week was really hard. We did "finding". It’s totally not effective, at all. I haven't had any success from it at all yet. But it’s all we can really do, unless someone gives us a referral. But ya, thanks for the prayers and such. Love ya Mama and talk to you later. DO THE METAL! Peace.
