On Thursday, I had the opportunity to go to all you can eat Chinese Food after Volleyball. There were lots of good Foods that I actually enjoyed, and then there was...Kangaroo. Yep.
We were with an investigator named Andrej, and a member named Sven Egly and we all decided to try Kangaroo meat, since we have never had it before. Elder Poch later described it as ''Muddy'', which is a completely accurate account of the flavor. Weird.
That night actually, we listened to the German Version of ''Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat.'' That is interesting. You should look it up sometime, it is really fun.
Also, I had a companion Exchange this week with an Elder Thompson. The bikes we were riding--in Göttingen--broke down, and the Pictures of the greasy me is the result. We did have an interesting talk about Light though. In relation for some studying material given to us in preparation for Elder Bednar coming on the 13th, I read a talk from Boyd K Packer entitle ''Candle of the Lord.'' Can mom put it on the page in the same Little section she put the Tale of Three Trees?
Anyways, I believe I mentioned this talk last month, but the overlying theme is that we are the candles, and the carriers, of the Lords light to another. Without us and our faith, he cannot, will not, touch the hearts of the children of men.
Thats why I am here. It kinda sucks sometimes actually, stuck in Germany, so far from home, so tired and sore and stuff. But it Needs to be done. The candle must be carried, the light must go forth, and I must help others, and help myself as well.
I know you all are super busy, I dont wanna take up to much of your time. But thank you so much for all the Support you have given me, to help me reach where I am today. I hope I can make it worth it for all of us.
