Another Happy Monday Family!
They're winding down, which is way weird to me. Today we're going to go down to Karlsruhe with the district. We just wanted to get out of Mannheim for a day, haha. I think we've done everything there is to do here that's mission appropriate! So I'll take some pics and send them next week. Bucket list is going well. I should be able to get everything done that I want to. I still have enough time! I'm sad that it's so close, but I am excited to see you guys.
This week was good. One of the Elders from our district went home last Friday because his school starts a little earlier. He's been with us for a while, so it was really weird to see him go. I feel a lot better from being sick, thanks. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. My exit interview...meh. It's not like a 'pass/fail.' Basically the mission president tells you to get married, and that's what happened, lol. It wasn't special or anything.
I'm starting to have my 'lasts.' So weird! Like my last Zone Conference and my last Ward Council. This week I have my last Zone Training, and soon it'll be my last District Meeting. It's such a weird feeling! I have to actually start doing things to get ready, like sorting through my clothes. And yeah...I think I might take like two skirts home. I want to burn my wardrobe, lol. Germany is funny cuz it's a European country, so there is a lot of fashion here, but also some Germans sometimes have a weird sense of fashion. Like they loooove fanny packs for some reason. Isn't that hilarious? It's so funny to see huge strong muscle men in wife beaters with their little fanny packs. Or Germans think it's okay to wear all the same color, especially if they're different shades. Khaki and gray are some of the favorites. But one time we saw this guy with lime green shoes, dark green pants, and a green jacket. So that's just an example. So they're fashionable in some ways...but in others...yeah, they're funny. I love Germans!
Sister Lehamn will probably stay next transfer because she only has one more after I leave!! So that'll be one whole year in Mannheim for her. So crazy. But she LOVES it here, so it's okay. She really wants to stay. It would be really unusual if they put in two brand new Sisters. Probably won't happen. Kinder Eggs...haha we'll probably buy one next week (transfer calls next week!!) so we can see what's coming for Sister Lehman. I'm not sure how we'll interpret mine...We'll think about it. The soccer game was good I guess! It started at 9, and everything was really quiet for about two hours. I tried to stay up and listen, because you can tell when Germany scores/wins, but I was laying in my bed in the dark, and I was sleepy, so I fell asleep before the end of the game, lol. I guess Germany won 1-0 in double overtime with like three minutes left. It's way cool that I'm in Germany when they won the world cup! It's a huge deal for the Germans. They're way happy about that. Poor USA lost almost right off the bat, haha.
This week should be really busy. We're happy about that! On Friday it's Sister Lehman's birthday so we're having an appt. with some cool members to celebrate. I hope I can make it a good birthday for her, lol. She's way intense about birthdays. I never knew someone could love birthdays so much! haha lots of pressure. Wish me luck!
Germany is awesome and I'm so happy that I'm here!! I'm glad I still have some time left. It's awesome.
