January 28, 2013 Zone Conference



Well, I had my final interview with President Schwartz... that was
fun. I liked how he talked about how I needed to get married for 44
minutes. We then talked about what I learned on my mission for like another hour. It was a great time and rather insightful.

I found out from a vote from the entire Zone that if I were to be in a
Hogwarts house I would be a Slytherin. I always fancied myself a
Ravenclaw but apparently I am too ambitious for that. We had tons of time to chat with everyone on the trains to and from Zone Conference.


Oh here is the story of how I got to Nuremberg on Friday for Zone
Conference. It starts out with Elder Smart and I on a split in Gera
for Thursday. Then Thursday night we take a train to Jena to spend the night. We get to sleep at 11:30 ish and then have to wake up at 4:00am to catch a train. We then take a train from Jena to Weimar, switch trains from Weimar to Erfurt, switch trains from Erfurt to Saalfeld, then switch trains from Saalfeld to Nuremberg. We then finally arrive at Zone conference and then have to head back the same night. So the return trip begins. We leave Nuermberg taking a train from Nuermberg to Saalfeld, Saalfeld to Erfurt (the train broke 20 minutes out, and we finally got to Erfurt missing all of our trains), and Erfurt to Gotha. We overnighted in Gotha to take a train to Gera, go back to Jena to split back, then back to Gera for Ward Mission Coordination meeting. Yay, that was my weekend.


1.  Do you have a baptism coming up with your investigator? No,
actually he skipped out on the interview so there is definitely
something going on that I don't know about.

2.  So do you have many German books that you will be bringing home?
Not as many as you might think. Just the cookbooks and a couple of
other religious books.

3.  What is the thing you like most about the German people?
Discipline. It goes a long way.

4.  Do people in your ward know when you will be going home? Yeah, I let them know about it all the time.

5.  Did you do anything interesting or fun last p-day?
I think I took a nap.

6.  Did Elder Turner get a new suit last week? No, we still need to
find a good store to buy one. Gera is lacking in the suit department.

7.  What do you have planned for today? Ooooh, I wanted to go check out a few of the things I still need to buy. My time is short.

8.  What was your favorite thing you did this week?
Well, Zone
Conference was pretty cool, but I don't remember any of it.

9.  Colin wants to know if you will teach him some German when you get back. If he wants to learn a few words, sure.

10.  I wonder if you could help out in Herr Hablutzel's class.  Is
that something you would be interested in?
Yeah, sure, why not. Or as we say out here, "Why don't?"

11.  Any uplifting advice or spiritual thought you can give us for the
day?
Uhhh... I am going to think about that...


Well, that's about it for an email. I do have pictures from Zone
Conference though. I will be sending those momentarily. End
Transmission.
