Week Ninety-six (44 days/6+ weeks left...)

It won't let me read your email, Mom! OH NO! Like it just redirects from your email to a sign-in page super fast and I can't figure out how to read it. Oh well...
My last week was prima!

We found out that Elder Donner and I will be staying together in Hof until we go the way of all the earth...that is until January 8th. We also found a new friend that we're going to meet with! J from Nigeria. We talked to her on the street last week and she said we could come and give her the Book of Mormon at her house. So the next day, we went by and gave her the Book, and made out an appointment for the next day...so when we went back, we asked her if she had read. She said she couldn't read, because her friend saw the Book and snatched it from her and started reading. Apparently this friend had met with the missionaries before and saw the Book and lit up because he had been looking for one! So we're going to contact this guy soon. 

Knocking on doors in Hof
Hof got really cold. -1 degrees C now. It's snowed a couple of times, but nothing too intense. Elder Donner and I are doing well. We're eating very well haha and probably too much. But we also work out hard. We gotta look good when we come back! I'm totally kidding I'm so out of shape. I was on exchanges last week and got to know good old Elder Brown a little better. He's a great guy, serving in Plauen. Church was interesting. Not a lot of people showed up. And our investigator, Frau R, came back again! She feels good there, I think. It's good because the members here are really good at talking to her when she is there. She's getting into the groove of things and she knows she's welcome. We're also teaching English class once a week. We have about 4 students, and looking for more. Six weeks until I'm home. Getting ready for Christmas is cool, the market just opened up in Hof. Elder Donner and I have a Frank Sinatra best of Christmas album. PRIMO! It's actually making me really home sick. But we'll survive. The Montgomerys fed us thanksgiving dinner on Sunday! That was super super good.

That was about it....I left my old planner at home, so I tried my best to remember everything!

Elder Pollar's last mission planner...

I'm still doing good though! Fighting the cold in Hof - Germay's Siberia.

I love you all!

Have a good week and a good Thanksgiving!
