So today we went to Xanten for pay and watched some epic battles in a coliseum. So awesome. 

Still with some of the same investigators. Dudi is great, but my trainer makes me make the calls to drop investigators. Really tough when they don't have interest even though they are great friends. I am going to miss Mohammad Darwish. 

My German only gets better. Now I am having real conversations with others and giving directions. Still don't understand people a lot, but at least they understand me. 

We are doing a mini Mission with a great man called David Kilgore! Last mini Mission I think ever actually. He is a wonderful man who is 18 and only speaks German. Great practice for me. He reminds me a lot of Elder Calhoun. Lots of potential and works hard. For some reason his parents think he isn't ready, but that man has no fear. Heart of a lion! Haha! He is a little different but would not hurt a fly. We have him for 2 weeks. 

The members are always supportive. Wonderful in every way. One is a soccer sports show guy on Facebook. His name is Piet! He is hilarious and yea. I got a picture of him for you. But anyways they are supporting everyone to come and always make sweet spielabbends where everyone gets together and get to know each other. So friendly. 

The Persian families are wonderful. They are amazing. Thean on the far right is called Pooyan. He goes to church every week and will be baptized in 2 weeks I think. 

All is well! I love it here! More and more to see and do. 

Much love
