I Hear Ansbach is Nice This Time of Year...

Well, I'm on my way back to the Fatherland.  Transfer calls came bright and early yesterday morning.  I will be working in the Nuremburg Zone (AKA I will belong to the Frankfurt Mission as of 1 July, assuming I stay for that long) with Elder Walker.  He goes home in 6 weeks...

 

Kinda crazy that I used to run track meets there...  Let's just hope my new Mission President will keep me away from the Wiesbaden/Darmstadt area, or I'll be contacting some old friends...

 

Goods thing the Germany Munich/Austria Mission is getting a new name.  I can still be loud and proud that I'm a GAMM missionary...

 

No more lederhosen though...

Painting

This week, we had a service project for a member family moving to Germany.  They asked us to paint the ceilings and walls of a couple rooms in their apartment.  We got the job done in record time, but I leardned something in the process:

 

Never ask the missionaries to paint.

 

Thank Goodness the only paint we spilled was on ourselves...

 

This handprint is courtesy of Elder Woodall and was done right after he painted himself a goatee...

Warning

The following image may be disturbing to some viewers.

 

In my defence, however, Taco Bell only makes a 6 inch tortillia.  By the time the salsa, guacomolê, nacho cheese and sour cream are on there, there isn't any more room for the beef, lettuce, tomatoes and onions.  It turned into a messy meal, but man, how tasty it was.  Thanks for sending that!  Mexican food has never tasted better!

 

PS - I promise I don't eat like this.  This was a one-time thing.

A Year Ago Today

Regensburg

March 8, 2009

 

Hard to believe that I'll be crossing the 18th month mark on the 10th. 

 

This picture was taken on this P-Day one year ago.  Pictured are (from left to right) Elders Jensen, Brown, Jevne, Kemsley, Erekson.  To that point, those were all the Elders I had seen that came with me.  This was a Zone P-Day in the Nürnburg Zone.  We played football!

Innsbruck Elders

This weekend, we noticed something.  Of all the areas in the mission, no single ward has as many missionaries as Innsbruck.  We currently have:

 

Innsbruck I  -- Elders Kemsley and Woodall

Innsbruck II -- Elders Beckstead and Hebbert

Innsbruck Senior Couple --  Elder and Sister Meservy

 

That is a total of 6 full-time missionaries in this ward.  There are some wards without missionaries, but Innsbruck is holding strong.

 

It's so awesome to be here!  Long live Innsbruck!
