Thatnks mom For all that you are doing for me I really do appreciate it and Also father thanks for all that you do well here is this awesome story that happened to me last week.
A success Story
Well this past saturday I had a split with my district leader Elder Howell.
At first on the split I had everything all planned and on what we were going to be doing. Some streets that we were going to be dooring and a few inactives to go by on, but as we ate lunch and were headed outsided I felt like my plans were not good that Í should go do something else. That was crazy because when I got this prompting we were alreadsy headed on our way to the place I had chosen. So when we arrived at the place I had chosen , and for a little while we were wandering because I was feeling for the spirit to guide me were to go. Then all of the sudden I said out loud " I am lost I do not know where we are going" then this huge high rise appeared out of no where I swear. So Elder Howell said lets go there He was talking about the high rise and we went there and there was twelve floors. We knocked on all of the doors and we got 3 appointments set up for this week is was really awesome howe being in tune with the spirit works and helps you tremendously.

Dear Mother
To answer some of your questions in your last e-mail. The current imvestigator that we have yes in fact she is german she comes from east german. She grew up in the time of the DDR when russia owned or I should say took over that part of germany. She really has had a difficult life has not been that easy for her, But man she is really amazing.
To answer another question of yours. The reason that I am teaching mostly outlanders is becasue more than half of germany is filled with imigrants becasue there home country was not safe for them to live and they want oppurtunity for their kids.
I Love this gospel and how it changes people ecspecially me I am a wholly different person for the better not for the worse MOM. I hope all is well with thew family. All is well here in germany Christmas is coming really soon the germans arer getting prepared for that. Another reason I can tell that winter is almost her is because how cold it is here it is really starting to get cold.
Christmas here is supposed to be a better time for missionary work becasue as for here the message os more towards CHRIST and not towards the gifts and the silly pagan tradtion that most country celebrate now.
It is nice to here that you have a new calling not saying anything negative towards your primary calling you were amazing at that well your amazing at all that you do. I hope that I can find a wife just as amazing as you are mom really thanks for everything.
Hello father
it is really nice to here from you thanks for taking the time to write me like you do. I just love to read yours and also moms emails it just makes me so good inside sometimes I get a little emotional, But hey keep them coming. That sounds really awesome your already at 50 percent done with your MBA that is really awesome to hear father. You are a true example of what I want to be When I have my own family thanks for the awesome realtionship that we have. It is really sad here becasue most families that are not in the church hate their families well I should say there parents. It is really sad to see, but also on the other hand it is awesome to see the micracolous sorry that is spelled wrong , but the amzing change that this gospel brings to families.
I would love to leave you with my testimony
I know that God is our loving heavenly father and that he loves us so much and wants the best for us. I know that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that he love us so much that he came to the earth to teach us and help us become like him. I know that the power of the Atomement has it is something so incredible. That through Christ we can be come cleansed from sin. I know that through Jesus Chrit we are able to make it back to our heavenly father and to live with our family in heaven forever. I know that In the year 1820 a young man named joseph smith was searching for the truth and as he read James 1:5 He knew how he could find out which church was true. That he did go into the grove of tree´s and did kneel down and pray to our father in heaven and I know without a doubt the God the father and Jesus Christ came to him and answered his question. I know that Joseph smith was called as a prophet from God. I KNow that Joesph smith did indeed fact translate the book of mormon with the gift and power of God. I Know that The Book of Mormon is the word of God and with the bible we have the fullness of the gospel. I know that Joseph Smith did restore The gospel of Jesus Christ The same gospel that Jesus had when he was on the earth. I know that joseph smith did restore the keys and power of the priesthood I know that we have living and true prophet of God today. I know that Thomas S. Monson is the true and living prphet on this aerth to day and that the heavens are still open today and that God still speaks to his children today
I say these things in the name out dear and beloved Jesus Christ Amen
Have a great week fam wish all the best for everyone

Hello family
How is it in hawaii? I hope that all is well with that. It was transfers this weekend and I am staying in cologne with Elder Despain. I am really excited for this next cycle we are just going to get alot done
Well to update on the investigator, She wants to be baptized It is so exciting to see the miracoulus change that goes through people when they live the gospel, and it is really awesome to see the change that the book of mormon brings as people read in it and do what is right.
Well you have alway wanted to know a day and life of Elder SMith
I arise at 6:30 and do exercises for a half hour and then eat breakfast, then I go and take a shower. At this time 8:00 is my personal study when i get to get ready for lessons or just get to learn more and more about the gospel. 9:00 is companionship study we get ready for any lessons that we have that day and role play how it will go down and also study how we can gain chrsitlike attributes, then we study the gosepel and try to grow in this gospel in unity. 10:00 is the language study hour where i read out of my german grammer book and do the practices it has for me to do and then read out of the book of moron and study it.
Then we head out to work for about 3hrs and then take our lunch break then we go out again and go contating people on the street and then also do doors until about 8:00 and then head home unless we have an appointment then head home later then eat dinner and then plan for about an half hour what we are going to do tomorrow then after that get ready for bed and then head to bed at 10:30
That is a normal day for me. I really hope all is well you dad abdf your schooling and your job and hope all wi well you benji and amanda and you grandma and gandpa durfee and my favorite aunties
