Zone Conf, shopping, baptisms.....5/3/10

I had my gall bladder out on friday and told Mooker about it. Here is his weekly letter. Enjoy...

Wow, That is news about the surgery thing...anyways, yeah, I will be skyping around 3 or 5 o'clock here or even earlier..., so that would mean around 7am for you all, might have to skip church or something, oh well, and make sure to call michael Kraus over, even though it is early, maybe call him a day before...and Matt and Melanie too....Steve and Tausha wrote me and told me their info, so i should be able to do it with them too...It will be cool, because that day, Mothers day, will be the day that Ewa will be confirmed, and also i will be giving a talk that day, I should be able to show you all some pics of the baptism and stuff, sooo, hmmm, what happened this week, we met with Florian Steinhauer again, and he came to church again too! sweet. After the lesson, he made us sooo much food, meat on the grill, Germans love to grill stuff, it was way good. We settled all of the stuff for the baptism, and had quite a few lessons this week, the most i have ever had on my mission, 12, tell matt that, and I'll bet he never got that high...neither had i, hopefully it will stay that way, but this week is zoko, and that is one less day to do stuff, but yeah, this week should go by pretty dang fast, zoko, baptism, phone call, pretty sweet. The weather is really nice now, and i took in my pants to get them taken in, now they fit nice and european like, meaning extra tight,,, :) also one of ym shirts I got it slim fitted, looks pretty good. But yeah, I shouldn't be spending too much more money on stuff until closer to the end, I want some nice shoes, and some more european shirts, which are way better, and slimmer. but yeah, oh yeah, this week we watched this movie, One Good Man, it is about a bishop, and his life, made by members, pretty cool, the ward here was able to get a copy of it, and we had an investigator come to watch it, so we came too :) it was pretty good..anyways, thanks for writing, and hopefully everything works out with skype, and I will SEE you on Sunday, til then, Tschüs! Love Elder Bentz aka Mooker

Weather is warming up...Baptism on track 4/26/10

Well, you did not say anything about the skype thing, so I assume you don't want to do it, oh well, Mother's day is on May 9th, so, we'll see what happens...This last week was pretty crazy, we ended up moving the baptism of Ewa to May 8th, that will be easier for everybody we and she figured, because now it will be just one day between the baptism and the confirmation, instead of 8 so that is better. We had 2 people come to church this last week, and Florian was one of them, totally unexpected too, It was way cool. We had a split with our DL over here, and we had a nice time, don't get to do splits too often here in Koblenz, pretty far away from everybody else...but yeah, transfers, were supposed to be last week, but that Icelandic volcano postponed them until this week, so the missionaries who were supposed to go home last week ended up having to stay another week out here, lame, I don't think that will be happening to me...I hope... but yeah, thanks for the pics, Rachel looks alot more like Kathy than i remember, Andrea is a cute kid...how are steve and tausha doing? I don't get to hear from them that often...They're pretty busy though...but hey, about skype again, if you do end up wanting to do it, That would be pretty sweet if you were able to get Matt and Melanie over there too, and perhaps even with Steve and Tausha, just make two phone calls...We will be going over to our Ward Mission leader's home to do it, and he is way cool about it...sooo, just sayin', and don't forget about Michael getting over there too...So, yeah, I can't remember anything else really cool that happened this last week...soo, thanks for everything, take care and know that i love you and only have 5 months left!!! Tschüss! Love Elder Bentz aka Mooker...
