Hey mama
I have been really praying with some fervor like Enos... He wrestled for his soul and the people. I haven't done any good yelling that carries to the heavens but its good...this week i read in Jesus the Christ that true prayers are not filled with words, but with deep yearning and heart throbs. That Is cool! Sometimes I ask Heavenly Father how he's doing... its pretty cool.. just to have a nice conversation with him.
yea my companion speaks english... but we speak only German to one another.
the people here speak some english.. we have an investigator who is from america so i can let my vocabulary loose on him haha.
maybe I'll head over to eggiwil in a couple of weeks thats a good idea.
i think we have daylight savings... not really sure.
have a great week, I hope i wont be as tired this week. Yesterday this spirit was so strong at church that i basically cried the whole time and then was so tired i fell asleep when i was studying german afterward. Completely dead from the spirit!
I love you!!! the church is so true ahh!

Hey Father!!
Did you get a chance to do the scripture and church `activity` thing?? it has really helped me to come closer to heavenly father... Today I figured out something about mercy and justice... there are two things which the resurrection of jesus does... gives us our bodies back and brings us back to be judged. The mercy part of the atonement has two effects. The first is that we don't have to pay for our sins the second is that we can be clean and go back to live with heavnely father. The first... the punishment for sins has to be made either by us before the resurrection in hell or by jesus. It is our choice to let him take the burdens from us. When we do this, he also promises that we can be made clean to live with God again. The one is to satisfy the demands of justice (punishment) the other is to make us worthy to live with God and actually be clean! I am so grateful for jesus christ, our older brother who suffered so that we don't have to and who suffered for our eternal joy and happiness together with heavenly father. Dad, isn't that sooo cool ???!!!
My companion is from Coburg in bavaria. the names of the missionaries in my district are elder schulzke, elder nakkin( who used to live in st. louis and knows tanner pretty well, he now lives in utah and it turns out that I hung out with him at byu!) elder Sanderson from utah, elder Ramsbottom from England and elder and sister Fox.
yea im still in pretty good shape! I just bought my first swiss chocolate today so don't worry about it... I won't get fat, I'm too prideful haha.
Yea the people here aren't soo bad... the real potential is in the youth of the place... we will get em!!! We have been having great success with that.
Have a great week and I love you
