New companion

Hey guys! I am now serving with a new companion. His name is Elder Burch. He and I will serve in Duisburg for another six weeks. He seems really cool and works really hard. I think I am going to learn awesome things from him. 

For example when I picked up my companion from Köln, we took the ICE train home and we were in the overflow section, which was full of Turkish people. One of them had a guitar and started playing and they all sang, which was interesting. They were extremely loud, but then Elder Burch pulls out his ukulele and starts strumming the strings. Let's just say they all stopped and looked at him and everything went quiet besides the sound of elder Burch. Then they laughed and started playing along. 

We became really good friends with all of them and there was 12 in total. They then wanted to know who we were, so we told them who we were. Then they wanted to contact us and know more. So we got a few phone numbers and some actually called us. We are now teaching German to a bunch of turks. 

It was bitter sweet seeing elder fisher go. He is now an elder in Frankfurt and hope all goes well for him. 

Another experience, behind us was a really old lady. She kinda followed us as we contacted people on the street. Finally she caught up to us and yelled... 

AMERICANS 

Come here! 

We obliged and she said she was so happy to see us. We asked how she knew who we were and she said that we dress so decently and are very respective of everyone around you. She saw something different in us. 

We then invited her to church but she said no and was too old for that and too late. We tried to change her mind but to no avail. 

So that totally made my day. 

Looks like we're going to have lots of fun here. Elder Burch comes from twin falls and told me he hates wells because he got a ticket there because of that retarded "intersection". Haha I have finally met someone that knows where wells is. He is totally from Idaho. And we are both really new. This will be insane. 

So excited to hear about you moving to Kuna. I hope you enjoy it there. Don't worry about me, all is good. For example our tech elders made a mistake by not buying me a train ticket to Köln to drop off Elder fisher. We found that out on the train. Then this man came to check the tickets on the train, but totally skipped me and my companion. All went well and we got Elder fisher to Frankfurt. 

Love you guys! I am sure there is something interesting in wells. 

Much love

Elder Monroe.
