Chiesa Gesu Christo, hier spricht Elder Neumayer...o Hallo Elder Hawker

Received July 4, 2011

So this was an interesting week. Not too much happened but it was good anyway. Was kama sagen? We found out that our investigator Jessica cannot be baptized because her parents won't allow her, but she can still keep learning from us so we will continue doing what we can. We did a lot of traveling this week. One day we accidentally took a wrong bus that ended up taking 3 hours to turn around. Yep, that's the Heilbronn area for you. We went to a few cool little towns that just randomly have big castles up on the hills. I've decided that pretty much all of the cool things, besides castles, are just out of reach of our area. Especially all the things that are just barely maybe 5-10 miles outside the boundaries of the mission. We did have one cool day this week when we went to Pforzheim where the Sisters in our District were having a street display. We talked with a lot of people and they actually got a lot of members to show up. We were kinda fighting for attention down on a little side street because on the main street there were three other displays. One was for Islam (that was a big surprise), another for a "Jesus loves you" kind of group, and another one for (of all things) Scientology. It was a productive day for Elder Patchett who was successful in procuring for himself both a Qu'ran and a Dianetics book. We got quite a few referrals and appointments for Pforzheim so it was successful. That took pretty much the whole day. Some Sunday in the near future I will be signing "Where Love Is" for our Branch. It will be fun...probably. Today we are going to Neuenstein where there is a really cool inner city and a big palace. There's not much we can do to celebrate the 4th of July but we'll do our best. Eat a nice big slice of apple pie and a couple of dozen hot dogs for me. I'm a whole quarter way through my mission and it's crazy. I hope everyone has a great week and that everything is roses, unicorns, bunnies, American flags and fireworks! Tschussss!
