2008/2009
So I promised I would write about my last day of 2008 and my first day of 2009, now I have time to.
Okay, last day of 2008.
I traveled with a friend from church to Rheinbach a small town to another members home. There we meet up with other young single adults. We ate pizza and watched two movie to pass the time. Then it was thirty seconds to midnight. we counted down and set off fireworks. Here they have firework that go way up into the sky it was amazing.
First day of 2009.
Once we had finished setting off our fireworks like around two in the morning we watched more movies till 8 am. We then sleep till ten am and watch more movies till two pm. My friend from church and I went back to her house where we hang out and slept.
And that was about it. those were my activities. fun huh!?.

Just a Note
So its about thirty minutes to midnight here in Germany and I am not tired or want to go to bed. As of right now I am in Gummersbach a small village for a Whas Happens After Public School Seminar and I am bored outof my mind. During the lessons I just sit there and look like I am interessted but I have no desire to be here. However it´s but of the school event schedule and we have to be here. The only good part of this is I have my own room and it inculdes a TV, bathroom, desk, and wardrobe. Hopefully this weekend I will have a meeting with a friend of my host moms you is a Freisurmeister (Hair dresser) and we can plan out my makeover. I haven´t seen Twilight yet, i think i will go by myslef this weekend too. Mira saw it the night before we left and she didn´t even mention she was going. anyway, my college application is complete and now I am waiting for either a accaptance or denial to BYU provo and/or Idaho. If i don´t get into provo now but i get into idaho i will most likey transfer because provo has the german teaching program. in idahp i take my general studies plus some extra fun classes.wellthats my plan anyway. well the teachers are tellling us to go to bed now so I have to leave you on this nail bitter of a blog.
The Temple
....and now the continuation......
The Temple.....
I am so glad that there are temples in the world today, especially since they are so close. I wish everyone had a testimony about the temples and are able to go and experince them in anyway possible. As I look back at the days before I visited the Temple, I realise that my life had been missing something. I dont know exactly what it was missng but it was crucial to my life.
I woke up early Saturday morning to the sound of a door bell. I jumped out of bed mumbling and growling. My ride to the Düsseldorf Intisitute Building where everyone going was to meet, had arrived and I wasn`t even awake yet. Thankfully I had packed the night before (thank goodness I had bought white underclothes just in case i actually went to the Temple, see it pays to be prepared) and all I needed to do was get dress, which I did at a amazingly speed.
After picking up another Temple Traveler (that is what I will call oursleves in this narration) we arrived at the meeting point on time and ready to go. Once all the Temple Travelers had arrived we squeezed oursleves into two small cars and headed off. It took us around two hours to drive to Frankfurt. There we meet up with all ten to thirteen Temple Travelers. We visited and waited for our Temple Guides. There were three American girls including me. We had our own Temple Guide, how nice.
After a few minutes of preparing oursleves for the Confirmations and Babtisims, we were ready to go. During the Temple Work I felt a overwelming peace settle over me and my Testimony of the Temple became stronger then ever. All I could do was sit with a smile on my face in silence. I couldn´t even read my scriptures I was so happy. Then it was my turn. I cannot put into words everything I felt that day, however I can say that the Temple is cared and shouldn´t be taken lightly. I am proud that Annette and Kent were prepared to enter unto the house of the lord and make bonds and covenants into the lord for all time and eternity. I am proud that Cory and Quinta are about to enter into the same covenants. I know that one day it will be JKens, Viktoria´s and mine turn to go and receive the same.
Once again I love and am proud to be with you all.

The Missionaries
The Missionaries....
Who ever said missionaries were messengers of the devil are seriously handicapped. HELLO!!!! They are the coolest people in this world. They give up two years to serve the Lord can you do better then that, i think not! Anyway as you can tell i had a blast making dinner for the missionaries. I made mom´s hamburger pie and it turned out way better then i expected they even wanted seconds. We talked about the work over here and what the major differences are in the church and the world compared to here and america. After dinner we watched half of the film Gordon B. Hinckley a Gaint among men. we plan on finishing the next time they come over. which is going to be soon because one of them is leaving for home soon, like in febuary, jjjeeeaaalllooouuusss!!!!!!
