These is the first of my last 4 emails home. Enjoy!
Well
this last week was slow, just slow. Work wise, that is. On Thursday, we
had a sweet zone conference in Berlin. More deets later. And we were
also in Plauen for a street explay and then had a ward christmas party.
All those things were great! But everything else was just kind of slow.
We only had 2 lessons this whole past week and they
were with members. No investigator lessons. That does not happen. Like
ever! That was the first week of my mission without a lesson. Oh well,
it wasn't too bad. Just kind of frustrating with everything falling out.
And it was cold. My departure will be very timely. Winter is coming.
Berlin was super cool. We drove up on Thursday, which means we had to
leave at like 6 in the morning haha. But it was OK. Traffic wasn't bad
until we got into Berlin. The stake house is literally in the middle of
Berlin right next to all of the embassys and what. So driving through
traffic towards the middle of Berlin is like trying to stuff a turkey
through it's mouth. The conference was super good, though. We watched 17
miracles about the Martin and Wiley handcart companies. I cried.
Totally. So sad haha. I got to see A LOT of really good friends. I was
super happy. We also got presents from President and Sister Kosak! Haha
pillows and pens. What missionaries need. I got my packages from home!
All 3. THANKS! And then we were with M, a new convert from Berlin
that Elder Donner knows. We checked out the Christmas market and talked
with him. I have purchased gifts. We stayed over night at the Tiergarten
Elders apartment. It was super nice. Then the Christmas party was sick.
Elder Donner played Santa and it was a riot.
Soooo that was about it haha the highlights at
least. OH MY GOSH I am bringing home such good presents. You have no
idea. You'll love it.
My shoulder is a-ok. My health is also. Elder Donner says his feet are cold, but that he's superb. The weather in Hof is pretty spastic haha right now it's about 40 I would say. No clouds or anything. Last week there was a big snow storm, but it didn't stick on the ground. Kind of weird.

Dad, if I could ask you for any favor ever it's that you
listen to the missionaries when they talk about member-missionary work.
You can't imagine how frustrating it is to prepare really good lessons
to try and help members with their work, and just get shot down from
every angle. Super lame.
So I'm speaking in sacrament meeting on January 12. I think I could
talk for the whole hour if they let me. But cool! I'm stoked for that
experience. I would much rather have a topic to talk about though haha
sometimes I just can't decide what I want to talk about. That's the hard
part.
As
for Skype, I don't know what account I'll be using, but if you send
me your info, I can just find you. There are no plans yet as far as when
I'll be doing it. Probably around the same time last year to be honest.
Like 10 or 11 your time.
Other then that, life is bueno. sehr gut.
Love you all!
Elder Pollard
