You remember that scene in Madagascar, where they get to Antarctica, and it is windy and cold and no one to baptize is in sight?
Just kidding, that is nothing like my mission. But it is super super super super cold here. It dropped below 0 degrees Celsius for the first time last night, meaning that it...froze. And there is frost on the mountain. As the picture I will send will show you. We also went up to the mountain today. Silly silly Mormons. Going up to the mountain in December. Don't do that. Its cold.
Its still cold, though the Germans seem to not notice. The colder it gets, the more people come to the Christmas market, I swear. I also haven't seen the sun in a week, and I think every day without it the Germans get happier too. Something evil about this country...
No, I do love this place. On the inside. My outside is too cold to love right now.
In any case, this was a week. Not great, not terrible, just a week. we got some important work done, contacted some less active members that we have been trying to, taught some cool investigators...and lived the life of the laborers in the Lord's vineyard. Compared to last week, this week was boring, and compared to some other weeks, it was restful. Everything went according to plan, no one died or was baptized.
I did have the opportunity to give a member in our branch a blessing of comfort yesterday. She has been having a hard time lately, and when one was offered, gratefully accepted. Both Elder Warby and I really felt the spirit during and after the blessing, and I hope she did too.
Elder Warby and I may or may not have stumbled across a cult while doing doors this week too...not sure yet. If we did, I will let you know. We have a return appointment...the guy claims to have a prophet, and said something about the mantle of Elijah resting upon him, and ''the Followers'' so yeah...
Other than that...everything is still to the left side. Or something book title like that...
My love to everyone!!
Elder Burton
