This week was pretty solid all around, other than it being mega-hot from this heatwave that hit. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we had the opportunity to go on Austausch (exchanges) with the Göttingen Elders. Göttingen is this small university town about an hour and a half southeast of Braunschweig. Other than the university, there really isn't much there, but at least the Göttingen Elders have a nice view from their apartment. It was a great time being ab...

Hey Guys!! Sorry for not writing in forever. I really have no good excuse, other than being lazy haha. Since the last time I wrote so much has happened. I got transferred, almost two weeks ago, to the city of Brunswick and I love it here. Transfer day was a ton of fun, being able to see a bunch of other missionaries, at Hauptbahnhof in Berlin. As I made my way to Hannover where my new comp was waiting for me, my train passed through Wolfsburg which is where Volkswagen has its international headquarters, a massive factory, and a pretty cool Museum from what I've heard (I'll definitely have to check it out some P-day). My new companion, Elder Liddiard is a total stud. He's from Mapleton, Utah, and has been out on his mission for 7 months now, but has only been in Germany since February. His story of how he got here is so crazy, he had to go through so much. He went from being in HMTC in December to flying to England, to Croatia, and then finally was able to make it into Germa...

Well, This was my last week here in Brandenburg an der Havel.  I am going to be sad to say goodbye to this city.  I really loved the ward as we were like a family. The city is just gorgeous. I am also sad to say goodbye to my companion Elder Gagnon.  He has been a great companion.  The Mission President called us on Friday and told us we would be transferred.  I am going to Braunschweig which is in the Hannover Zone and Elder Gagnon is staying in our zone, but going to be in the Marzahn area of Berlin. Today we are saying goodbye to all our friends we have made here and packing up our things along with cleaning up the apartment.  This past week has been good as I no longer have to wear my cast all the time and I have been able to work out with my companion. Well, While I am sad to go, I know Heavenly Father needs me in Braunschweig.  I better go for now as we have a lot to do!  Till next week-Winston             ...
