Well I'm officially 2 weeks into the mission!!

HEY!!!
Well I'm officially 2 weeks into the mission!! The MTC is still amazing but it has gotten a lot more challenging that is for sure. We challeneged our "investigator" for baptism so now we have a new untersucher named Kathir and Jens. Both of them don't believe in God, it has been quite a challenge trying to help them gain a testimony in God. But me and Elder Bezzant are doing really well with the language. We haven't been using any notes and have been just speaking from the heart,  the gift of tongues is real and i know that for a fact. Well things have been so much fun with the Zone, we are super close. We have had our ups and downs but that is just part of being together 24/7. My district is doing amazing, i am here to tell you that through exact obedience you can do "wunders" (word miracles in german). We have made a district goal to be on time to class everyday and i have first hand seen many elders in our district progess so quickly with the language because of that. It has been fun being the District leader and in a week i will be released and a new one will take my place. Hopefully i have set a good example to the other members of our district. 
It's crazy how fast time flies and then sometimes we wish we could make time speed up, but hey that's just the mission. We have had some amazing devotionals that have really been touching. My companion got me to sing in the choir this week and we sang at the devotional. We sang the song "Nearer My God to Thee". i never knew that the song was about Jacob after hearing that his brother was out looking to kill him. It brings so much symbolism as you listen to him talk about sleeping on the rock and then receiving revelation about "Jacob's Ladder". As we strive to find spiritual experiences in our lives, we will find ourselves nearer to god.
