First off we live in the basement of a manor, and it's freaking huge, relatively cool, massive bathroom, literally looks like a legit house. Like this place is where dreams are made yall. And I'm comps with this guy called Elder Harmon. The man is the dream companion. Way cool and super easy to get along with. We just crack jokes and do missionary work in an area with...
AN AMERICAN WARD!
Let's go! And we got an American base with taco bell. Dreams come true yall. Like we freaking got Krispy Kremes.
Today for pday we went to Burg Eltz again. Good time but this time without bikes, and we hiked the whole way up and checked it out.... And Mormons were everywhere. It was great. Me and elder Harmon got some way good pictures together and it was a good time.
But you know time is always limited on Pday and we were doing all we could do to make it back to our train and it was a five kilometers from where we were. And we were already 30 minutes later than we wanted to leave to depart. We were in the souvenir shop and just realized the rest of the district just left without us and we were in a bad situation, so we booked it the entire way but realized we went the wrong path, so instead of our trains stop we ran the entire way to another train station in the wrong direction and I was dying. But we didn't give up the whole time. And quite literally right as we saw the train station we saw our train pulling up and we sprinted to the finish. Just like cross country days but had a bit more of a quick and boost cause we needed that train. We get to the station and saw there was no way to our platform but one.... We were so desperate because we ran the entire way as hard as we could to catch this train and we both looked at each other and thought
Forget it we need it.
So we did the most retarded thing possible and ran across the tracks and got the train and met the other missionaries at the other train station. But we did it. But then we didn't have water and that was another problem. So we get to this train station where we transferred positions or trains but we had fifteen minutes. So we doored this village looking for water and one man bless his heart gave us a six pack of carbonated water. We didn't care we chugged those things down and thanked the man for his generosity. One of the three Nephites yall haha. Finally on our way back right now.
Anyways I left Köln in good condition. Me and elder hunter did some work there and left a couple people in good condition. Cassandra will be one day baptized and she reads everyday. She is currently in Mosiah I think but the one that really got me was our boy Gero. The man that investigated the church in 2001. He is the guy I found in an ancient area book who saw the missionaries and three days later I just randomly called him and asked to meet. He was surprised and we continued meeting and before he was baptized (cause I kinda grilled the guy our first lesson and gave hard testimony) he really felt the spirit and is currently in Alma. He loves it and we read it with and before I left he personally thanked me. The man just stood there and said thanks, that if I never made that call he wouldn't be in this condition. It really got me and he said he will miss me and promised me that he would be baptized when he reads the book and gets the confirmation that it is 100% true. Honestly he already knows it true but he is really sensitive to the spirit and he will be baptized. Man is a legend.
So far so good. Honestly So much more to write about but I'll give yall a break. Love you all and I am truly one of the happiest guys right now. I've got an awesome district and perfect conditions.
Much love
Elder Monroe
Elder Harmon is top left and they are all great.
