One cycle wonder

Well another Transfer has gone by, and... I'm going to Koln (Cologne). What? Four transfers in my first city and now one in my second. Especially odd since no one had done a one transfer in Wesel for over a year. But It's pretty sweet that I'm going to the biggest city in the mission. It's also well known for the Christmas Market that it has every year. Which I will probably be able to enjoy...if I'm there long enough.
I'm sad to be leaving Wesel after such a short stay, but I'm excited for the new area and change of pace.

Hewwo (Hello?)

It's been a pretty good week! The members are great, we're trying to focus on finding people through members. Which seems like it will work. We even had a member ask us to come with her to visit an inactive member. That was pretty cool.

On quick story: So Elder McKee and I were walking back from the Bahnhoff (we were going to go grab some food) when this guy was like “Hey, you're the ones that speak Spanish right?” Way off but whatever, so we started talking to him and he was pretty interested in us and what we're doing here. After a couple of minutes we told him about the Book of Mormon and he told us to meet him at a bus stop so we could give it to him. So we went home real quick grabbed the book and met him at the bus stop. It was a pretty good lesson. It was a little distracting with cars and everything going by, but other than that he was pretty interested. Although he is going to drug therapy, he said that he was addicted and wanted to get off drugs. So it's not going to be a baptism in a week, but still it made my day.

Anyway I've got better stuff to do then sit here in an internet cafe.

Till next week

Blargy

Hey ya'll
So I'm way up here in the north. All of a sudden it got really cold and rainy. Otherwise it's pretty sweet. We had Zone Konference and president made a few changes, namely we don't count finding time anymore (we used to keep track of how many hours of finding time we do) and no sport, other than our morning sport. But actually that didn't affect us at all so I didn't mind. Actually I freued (Gr: happiness) myself so much when we stopped counting finding time, now I can just work without numbers getting in the way.
Well at the moment we're doing lots of doors cause the fu (church) in Wesel is small, we're also working a lot with the members, which are totally cool. There's a recently returned Returned Missionary and he can't even speak German. It's hilarious.

Well, I think we're going to go do something. All's wonderful here Bis nchste woche (week).

NOTE: I have no idea what a morning sport is (Exercise?) It is fun to see our missionary becoming more German each week! Wesel is a city near the German/Netherlands border, north of Dusseldorf. I found a picture of Dusseldorf- but not of Wesel.
