Week Six

FAMILY. Sup.

Today is P-day and that is always a good day. I went to the temple this morning at 6 and did initiatories. It was cool. All the temple workers asked me if I was related to 'Pearl Pollard'? IDK he's some BYU basketball player or something. I just finished my laundry so now it's time to Email! Woooo.

I'm so excited to leave for Germany! A week from tomorrow and I will be on an air-bus to Europe. It's crazy to think that it's already been almost 9 weeks. It's also crazy to think that they expect me to speak with native German people right when I get there! We have 4 companionships heading to Berlin on the same day, so we'll all travel together. Also, the 7 people going to the Alpine mission fly with us until Amsterdam, where we leave to Berlin and they go to Munich. So I'm not to worried about traveling. I WILL CALL YOU GUYS AT THE AIRPORT. Maybe from SLC, maybe from JFK I don't know yet. I understand the language pretty well up to this point, but I'm still nervous. There's an Elder here (Elder Breckwolt) who is from Germany and going to Korea. He's pretty cool but when he talks, it's so fast that I can only pick out some words.

We don't do our visa stuff until we get to Germany actually. Apparently it's like the easiest country in the world to get a visa to so they don't stress it until we're actually there. I'm just so excited. My teacher has been telling us stories all week long about how cool Germany is and everything! So STOKED.

Thanks for sending that heavy coat-it will be so nice. I regret not bringing it.  I will probably not be able to finish all the stuff Christian sent me haha. I'll have to gift the 54 oz bag of Skittles...along with my Nerf gun...to one of the new Deutschers coming in on this Wednesday.

There's really not much to say now haha. I've been so antsy to go to Germany this whole time. Time just flies and I don't know if my memories re from this week or last. Our 'investigator' was baptized on Saturday. That's pretty exciting. We haven't really been able to break through to our other 2 though...but SOME PEOPLE AREN'T READY. That's my excuse.

ONE WEEK LEFT. I just really want to get to Germany. I'm so so so so so excited!

 Discussing travel plans over a nutritious lunch...

Love,

Elder Pollard
