the Work continues

I just found a great internet site with lots of Hof pictures http://www.pbase.com/jolka/hof which might interest those of you who like to travel. We live just south of the St Michael's church.

We have been quite busy his past week.  We had our fist institute class in Zwickau where we were in charge.  I made a meal for the 11 young people while Dave entertained them by introducing us.  Before that we had them introduce themselves to us.  It was rather fun.  This will continue to be our Thursday evening activity.  We got home about 11:3 p.m.  which will also probably be the norm.  They play after the lesson and the meal.  I can't wait until I have to teach an institute lesson in German (not).

We also fed our district of missionaries the Saturday before our first experience with transfer day.  Elder Briner left here to go to Hamburg and we got Elder Struve whose home town is near Washington D.C.  Elder Hess is still here.  Our new DL is in the rear, Elder Reeve.

We drive to Plauen every week for district meeting.  This last transfer the mission president announced three new districts in preparation for the influx of new missionaries coming in March.  The effort is out there but the success is hard come by.

This week we have appointments with several of the branch members to get to know them better so we have something to do every day this week - and two big things on Sunday.  Two of the families we will meet with are part member families.
