haha no idea where to begin honestly. So happy to be back in Deutschland. Elder Hughes is an AP and we were freaking out when they came and picked us up at the Airport. Everything is just how I remember it except like everyone from my MTC Group is all so advanced and their German is amazing and they're all pretty much in leadership positions.
All of these missionaries that have served around my MTC buddies and the sisters like all came up to me all my first day and were like "so and so says hi" and it was just like the best feeling ever for everyone to be excited for me and that I am back. Never felt more loved by people. Honestly, it was just awesome.
My first area is called Hanau. It is interesting because my first companion over a year ago, Elder Domingues, was trained here. Also, my Mission president, Boyer, was trained in this area 25 years ago and now my Trainer, Elder Golden from Tennessee, was trained here just barely and is now training me. He went through kinda what I went through and was home for a while and now is back so we have a ton in common. He is so cool. Where he lives, most of the cool kids are in the band and they were ranked 13th in the Nation at one point. His stories are hilarious and he has like this trombone scholarship or something. He is great though and has a ton of goals for us and I feel we are going to have a ton of success these next couple weeks. That is pretty much it. It is finally sunny today. Yesterday getting my bags here was a hassle because it was just dumping rain on us and we were soaked. but we have a lesson tonight with an investigator and are meeting with two others this next week and then also have goals to find a few more. I have been so tired but being super busy is a great feeling. I miss ice and Air Conditioning so much already but whatever.
I'll Forward the only pic I have of us since my IPad isn't set up yet. Hopefully it works.
Super blessed to have all of your Support and help over this past year I can't thank you guys enough. I know this is where I need to be and what I need to be doing. Serving our savior and spreading the joy of the Gospel to the people of Germany all while it is molding me into the man I want to be. So happy to be back. Wish me luck with German and surviving out here. The people are awesome. I love them but sometimes they yell at us and what not but it is pretty fun to be honest haha.
Love you all.
Elder Rothwell and Elder Golden
