I'M GOING TO BE IN GERMANY IN A WEEK AND A HALF!!!!

1 week and 5 days!!! Time flies here when you are having fun!!! Well this week has been super fun, me and my zone are having the best time ever!! Yeah German can annoying and frustrating at times, but then you have to remember that " I'M GOING TO BE IN GERMANY IN A WEEK AND A HALF". That is what helps me keep going when the times get tough. This week has been pretty crazy, we are teaching about twice a day which is keeping our skills up and then just kind of setting goals that will helps us get ready for Germany. Tomorrow we are going to Skype people in Germany and its usually a member and a non member so I'm kind of nervous for tomorrow because there is a huge difference between Americans speaking Deutsch and Germans speaking Deutsch. Oh well, as long as I have the Lord on my side I can not fail!!

It's been super fun getting to go to the temple every week. I just sit there and ponder on the gospel and questions that I have, because the temple is where you find answer to questions and that has really helped me progress my testimony in the gospel. Today I got about 25 names done that Grandma White had sent me, I just started handing them out to people in my Zone and they were all more than willing to help the work move on!! I honestly love my Zone so much, its literally like this band of brothers that cant be broke. We have had multiple people lose family members in the past month, but we are stick together. When we walk around the other people are so surprised how well we all get along. I think it is truly a testament to how dedicated everyone is to learning the language, ya sometimes we get distracted but that's why we all keep each other in check. 

Its been super fun getting to see people from home here at the MTC because sometimes you feel left out here because if your not from Utah, and you know nobody! But its been fun!! I do have to warn anybody going into the MTC soon, that the first 4 days are the longest most boring days of your life, but then after Sunday it like magic and everything flies by!!!!

Elder Whitaker, Elder White, Elder Andrus, Elder Allred from the Plano, Texas Stake found each other at the MTC this week.

Just in case you were afraid I had lost my unique personality yet, I'm here to say No. I have found a cause to fight for..... and that's having someone clean the bathrooms. We have been here for a month and they have never been cleaned, they clean other peoples bathrooms, but the people who are suppose to clean ours, never do. I have talked to 5 managers about the issue and I keep getting the "capitol hill two step". Finally I talked to the head guy and he said "OH your the kid with all the complaints". MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD DO THEIR JOB! It's just funny, oh well when you believe in something so much, sometimes you got work hard for it. Is it reasonable to ask for the overflowing toilet to be cleaned up? We don't even have a plunger and our irons broken hahahahahahah. But hey the MTC is so much fun, don't get me wrong, it has its ups and downs but I honestly I have loved every minute of it!

If you get chance read DC 128:22 I think of it as a battle cry! Because this gospel is too important to only give it 90% you got to give it 100%!!!! And when you have no more power to stand, kneel.

LOVE YOU ALL

ELDER RYAN WHITE

PS. Elder Deiderich has challenge me to write in my journal and I have to say I'm doing a pretty good job!
