Sorry yall it's been a fat minute. I'm still in Mannheim and elder frost and I are just grinding. Carnevale was this week and oh man it was insane. Everyone was drunk and in costumes for what seemed like a whole week and we got very whacky looks being two Americans in church clothes running around a parade. But it was all fun. This week we also had zone conference and that was so cool cause I got to see some of the elders from my mtc group. I am pretty close with all my zone they are such chill elders. The mission president and I are tight I told him to come to Mannheim and chill with me and elder frost and he said he'd be down so mal schauen if he actually pulls thru. Elder frost and I are gonna have to drop some of the people we're teaching cause they won't keep commitments. But we also met these cool Pakistani guys who insist on buying us stuff whenever we are together. They speak urdo and only a little German so that is an issue
I got my first Turkish haircut and my hair is probably the shortest it's ever been in my life. But we just played with the Turkish dudes kid while we waited and I pulled out a soccer ball and we just played around he is like 2 or 3 probably his name is Ali and I'm teaching him English phrases. The hair cutters just live below our wohnung so we always stop by on pdays they tell Ali to call us uncle it's super cute. I love Germany and everyone here. Today we went to this old castle in Weinheim and it was so cool. I see castles a lot but seeing one up close was a little cooler but tbh I mean it feels so weird to go sight seeing as a missionary. I did a split in worms this week and saw a super cool cathedral but it was weird going into a cathedral as a missionary. It's kinda crazy. Oh all the elders in my district bought matching shirts today they're all floral and whacky but it is cute cause we're cute ya dig.
Uh I don't really know what else to say so I'll end with a scripture. 2 Nephi 2:24. "But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things." I know that sometimes things are confusing and we are unsure of where we need to go or what we need to do. I think a lot of times we wonder why things happen the way they do and we just get so confused on why things happen to us the way they do. But throughout all the trials I know that all things are done in His wisdom. Not mine. I know that if we trust in him things will work out for the best. I can't give answers for everything or even most things but I know that yhr lord has an answer and I know that if we turn to him and trust in him that we can get an answer and he will guide us home. You are never too lost for the Shephard to find you. You are never too lost for the master to fix you. You are never too weak to take part in His strength. I love you all and I hope you seek for God's hands in one way this week and I know if you pray to have your eyes open to it then you will see it. He cares about you and all the little things that we worry abour in our lives. God bless and strengthen you.
Give my love to all,
Elder Miner
