I will definitely keep
them in my prayers. How old is E now?
I did get the package!
That came really fast. Thank you, thank you, thanks! I'm afraid to wear the new
shoes and the attached picture will tell you why. That is after I polished them
about a month ago. They looked worse before that. The bike seat I have not yet
tried out but I am positive I will have an opportunity in the near future.
Should be perfect.
Do you have K F's home
address?
Oh! Before I forget, we
had interviews with President. He wanted me to write home and ask you this
question... If he were to call you up and ask you to tell him something about
me, what would you say?
I love hearing all of the
updates! Here is what is going on here:
This last week was up and
down. Our favorite investigator Herr Q has stopped answering his phone and his
door. He was sick last time we had contact with him and we thought maybe
something bad happened. We ran into one of his neighbors and she said that he
is still there and doing ok. That eliminated that possibility. That narrows it
down to one of two things, I think. Either he found his 'answer' and realizes
what that means and is too scared to do anything or he got some kind of
negative influence from some other source (his daughter I think). Either way,
we were really depressed about the fact that he is ignoring us. Elder H only
had the chance to meet with him a couple times. In the time that Elder H(1) and
I met with him we really noticed a change in his faith and his desire to learn
more and keep the commandments. Schade.
The 4th sounds like it
was a blast there. We went to Duisburg as planned and ate homemade burgers and
played Siedlers von Catan. We listened to and sang the National anthem and
devoured the, oh so delicious, Krefelder Kraken. It was kind of awkward
though... The Krefeld elders, Elder JH and myself get along really well. No
matter how hard we try to get the other Elders involved there is always some
kind of social barrier. It makes me sad. My companion and Elder JH's companion
sat and had a 2-hour long discussion about the BofM, which is totally fine. And
then Dusiburg was just quiet the whole time. Hmmm. We all love each other but I
guess there will be some social blockades sometimes. Elder JH and I did a split
right after which felt really weird. We got along so well and had tons of fun
and now that we were back it just wasn't normal. We both described our new
companionships, which sounded strangely similar to one another. We think we are
both being taught the same lesson. Elder JH and I were companions but friends
as well. Our new companions are... companions. I love Elder H to death! He is
such a nice guy and has the sweetest most innocent heart. We just aren't
friends yet. Mal schauen. I just need to be more patient and love him
more.
The work is going well!
We're pretty much starting over but that isn't always a bad thing. Two weeks
left in this transfer. We'll see what happens!
Love ya! Tschüss!
Elder Evan
