Word from Wesel September 19, 2011


Günstiger – favorable
Dafür - therefore
  
Yes, the transaction was made by me. I used the money to buy a Wesel Esel and also a new soundtrack - Pirates 4 to be exact. Sadly the last half is all of this techno remix stuff that isn't really mission appropriate but the first half is some really good Hans Zimmer stuff with some guitarist with a Mexican name. Quite excellent. Very inspiring.

Elder M... The name sounds familiar but to be honest there have been several Elders going home for this or for that and I don’t know them all personally. That's too bad though. That would be really tough to have to go home. I hope he does OK.

Europe trip. Well... I wouldn't mind coming home first and being released because then I wouldn’t have all my junk with me. But I don’t know what is günstiger. That is my preference, but I am willing to do whatever is best for you. Where all are we wanting to travel?

Star Wars blu ray... I will need to invest when I get home. I've been waiting for a box set with all 6 in one. I don't know how I feel about Darth Vader yelling 'no.' I don't know why, but Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are the most quoted movies among missionaries. I think it is because they're universally well known.

The package did come and I am very grateful dafür. I already ate the animal crackers. They aren't that bad! The teddy grahams I do appreciate as well as the new music and the pizza stuff and the camel... thank you. Thank you very much. My iPod... I didn't realize what a temptation that would be having all of my old music on there. Elder T and I have the same taste in music so when we saw The White Stripes and Wolfmother and Iron and Wine... we had to hide it for a while. As much as I love the package it kind of slapped me in the face. What happened? Has it really already been a year?

Well our S lady is getting baptized! Elder T set the baptismal date on a Golden split with one of the other Goldens. Hence the term golden split. Her two sons were going to get baptized two but the husband said no. We've got a plan to try and soften his heart. The appointment sounded way cool. The 12 yr. old son that translates had been sitting in the appointment quietly thinking after the Elders had told him that they got baptized when they were 8. He was like, 'Echt?!' We've been talking to him about baptism for a while but before he always felt like he was too young. He was silent and then was like, 'you know what I am thinking? I think I want to get baptized.' Way cool. We'll see if the man’s heart can't be softened.

I love you all! Hope all is well. Tschüss!

Love
Elder Evan
