Transfers are as follows.
Our district goes this way: Pforzheim stays the same. Heilbronn
changes it up. Ludwigsburg
changes a lot. The DL, will go Zone Leader in Wien.
Elder Werner goes to Landshut, (super lucky), and I will train this
transfer and be district leader. It will be fun. Only 2 elders here now. We're going to go crazy
next transfer tearing this area apart. I can't wait. We'll inherit a lot
of investigators and an extra area book, so there will be no shortage
of work.
As for the iPad question, we got them. We're working with them and for now, they're there for teaching, finding, studying, and planning. We won't have the area book on there before I get home, because of copyright laws, and we're hoping to start social media somewhere in the next year, so I might not get much experience with that either. The iPad isn't life changing, it's just a really nice upgrade. Gospel Library is just blowing my mind. I am having so much fun with it. We sure do enjoy having them. They're very very very very restricted, but it's gotta be that way. Got some of my scripture marking transferred, and I love cross referencing at the touch of a button. So enjoyable. So I can start throwing away needless books now. :) I synced it to my LDS.org account, so I'll always have all the markings and materials.
There was a cool experience yesterday that I had with the iPad. I downloaded a bunch of videos at the church last week sometime, and we've been showing them in lessons and what not. But yesterday, we were at a member's house, and their 5 year old little girl said she wanted to see if I had something on the iPad. I assured her there were no games or anything on it, but she was adamant that I show her. So I was showing her there were no games or anything and to my surprise she pops open Gospel Library, and goes to the Mormon Messages and finds the one she saw in Primary one time. We were able to watch it together with her family, and an investigator. It really showed me that the work is moving forward and that this coming generation is really going to be incredibly blessed by the use of technology in Missionary Work. Super cool stuff. The work goes immer vorwärts!
Can't believe Matt and Jake are home. I bet they
were both outstanding missionaries. No doubts about it. Crazy stuff,
this time flies. Speaking of which, it's already summer..... wow. Well
yeah, the next few days will be spent by me in bed while Elder Werner
packs. I got hit by a car on Saturday.
Nothing too bad, this Porsche just came flying around the corner and
upended me onto the hood. It was weird. I'm sore, but nothing too bad. I
kinda got up and kept walking. Funny stuff that happens. I'll have to be more
careful. (;
Well thanks for everything dad, I hope it was a great Fathers Day. I guess you know that Father's Day isn't the same here, it's
celebrated with Mother's Day, so I forgot all about it. Thanks for all you do for me. I love you!!!!
