Hey Family,
How are things going? Yes I have heard about the plane crash in
France. It was all over the news here. Yes, my companion has 10 days left here
with me. I find out who my next companion is this Saturday. I gave my talk in
German. I did it in short simple sentences. When I talk to Gustavo, I
mostly try to speak German. He knows German and Spanish and a little bit of
English. But yeah it’s hard to communicate sometimes.

| Missionaries and Farooq at the Buchenwald Concentration camp |
Farooq likes talking about the
Gospel and was really absorbing it, but he just left the other day to Stuttgart.
It was sad to say goodbye to him. He was so funny. He makes us laugh every time
we are with him. We hung out a lot with Farooq this week trying to teach him as
much as we could before he left. Meeting with him was the highlight of our
days. I miss him and am sad he is gone but he says he has family in Alaska and
will visit sometime.
We have not met with Pricilla or Hannah
this week; they are busy which is kind of a bummer. The family that showed up
to church, we haven’t heard from since that day they showed up at the church
which is sad.
We haven’t met too many new people
although last week we met a guy doing a service project and Elder Anderson said
he is the creator of YO Stickers. Those are just stickers that say YO on them
and they are all over light poles here.
The language isn’t bad. I can understand what people are saying some
of the time. I got to talk to two ladies at church yesterday and I understood
them somewhat.
We bike here a lot and it’s really
nice for staying in shape and getting around. You found a dead moose on your
bike ride Abby? Gross! That’s sad that Jib died and the Peters cats.

| Buchenwald Concentration Camp |
Anyways this week was good. We went to Buchenwald Concentration Camp in Weimar
with our Mission President. It was a really interesting place. Most of the barracks
where people slept were broken down but the camp was huge. It made the Holocaust
much more real actually seeing the place where it took place. We had a good
time. We also got to go to Nürnberg for Zone conference I think I might have
already told you that, but it was good. At
Zone Conference we learned about health, being obedient and we got to watch “Meet
the Mormons”. I guess it was the first time anyone out here had seen it. I got
to see a few people I knew from the MTC too.
Not to much more happened this week
just the usual FHE Institute. We didn’t
have English class because we were in Nürnberg. Well I will put some pictures
in drop box but I had better get off and let Elder Anderson on the
computer!
Love you all so much,
Devin
