Hello friends! :)
To those of you who have remembered and anticipated my arrival in the Mission field today...sorry but it didn`t happen. Lufthansa, the airline we were supposed to fly with (and President Uchtdorf`s old employer) is on strike. So, our flight was delayed from early this morning to 12:20 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then it was cancelled. Oh well. We went to the airport in Manchester (a good hour drive, one way), waited in line for almost two hours and no one could really help us find out about our flight, We sent off the Frankfurt and Berlin Missionaries with some delays, but for the Munich ones, all hope and excitement faded quickly. We`re now back at the MTC with nothing to do really for the rest of the day. It`s not awful though. We were fed well, talked to some very interested people whose flights also got cancelled, placed a few pass-along cards, and now we have the MTC for us. Well, there`s a small German second-language district but it`s still weird when there`s only 10 of us here. Of course we have no teachers or anything so it`s just up to us to plan what we do. I kinda wanted to go finding but I know they won`t let us. So I`ll just exercise a little after finishing this blog post and catch up on letters and my journal. And then we`ll move back into our rooms and go to bed, because we are getting up and outta here who knows when. All of this mixed up our companionships a little. I`m now a triplet with Elder Schiffer, and Elder Gomez from Spain has joined us because his companion left earlier today. The other two Alpine Missionaries stuck here are Sister Pentz from Colorado and Sister Starns from England. I could have worse company, they are all really nice :) As to when the strike is over, about anything can happen. We were even told about a minuscule chance we`ll leave tonight, but actually Friday is likelier than that. We`ll see!
I love you all!! :)
Elder Friedmann
