Hey friends!

 

This is me rocking it still at the England MTC! I hope all of you are doing just great. I know I am. Being a Missionary is hard, the days are long, but I`m learning so much and it`s so rewarding! Elder Schiffer and I are still companions and we get along great! I`m the leader of the Benjamin District...which at first freaked me out but I`ve come to love them all so much! They are like my kids ha :) Elder Wipf is a convert and he`s from Alberta, Canada. HE KNOWS THE HENINGERS. So cool! He laughs a lot and is a complete stud. One of our teachers shared D&C 88:67 with him because he was laughing so much ;) Elder von Wallwitz is from Brazil but he`s essentially fluent in German. He`s like my twin! We`re both PR majors and we both love basketball. We also have the same toothpaste. It`s almost creepy :) I love him. Like in an appropriate way. Sister Wiborny is from near Frankfurt and we know a lot of the same people! She`s great too. She even wrote me a note yesterday saying I`m the best District leader in the MTC (there`s five). Made my day! :) And then there`s Sister Taylor from Oregon. She is great as well but a little shy because she thinks her German isn`t as good as everyone elses yet...which isn`t necessarily true. She`s so nice nontheless :)

 

We went to the Temple today. I loved it! The entire MTC had a session for themselves. In total, there`s 29 of us Missionaries here :) I know them all by name, even without tags. Being in a small MTC is so fun :) The sun was shining and it was almost 50 degrees today (which is essentially summer over here, as some other locals told us at the Temple grounds). We embraced it and took a lot of pictures, none of which you`ll get in this email. Bummer! But you will eventually see them, I promise :)

 

One of our "fake" investigators has a baptismal date. Teaching is so much fun! :) We`ll be in Munich a week from now, can you believe it?? Halfway there, living on a prayer...oooooohoooo.... :)

 

I love you all! Keep your heads up :) My spiritual thought for you today is D&C 80. A short section that gets overlooked so easily. President Edwards talked about it in a devotional...showing us how no matter where we go, there will be people who are waiting to receive our message! :)

 

Love,

Elder Friedmann
