This week we had the special opportunity to have Elder Ballard visit
\nour mission, we heard on Friday morning that on Sunday night he would
\nbe coming so figuring out how to get there was a fun ride. The mission
\nrallied together in Berlin! Always rad to see all my friends from the other side of the mission!<\/p>\n

Well first off I\u2019ll tell you, he’s a short man… also pretty funny.
\nWe got to shake his hand before the meeting and of course I forgot my
\nname tag on my backpack… but it was alright only Pr\u00e4sident
\nnoticed.<\/p>\n

It was a great meeting, Elder Ballard mainly focused on making sure we know chapter 3 of PMG, through and through, and also that as we strive to always become better teachers, we will find ourselves having more opportunities to teach.<\/p>\n

Well after the getting to the meeting was only half the fun… Our
\ntrain home left at 9:15 and we weren’t supposed to get home until
\n12:00. Unfortunately we had a 20 minute delay with one of our trains,
\nbut we ran through the Bahnhof like madmen with the K\u00f6then elders and
\nmade it to our next train just in time, but the train wasn’t there
\nbecause it was also 20 minutes late… So it finally came and we took
\nit an hour or so. It was about midnight by the time we hit the
\nhalfway point. We got off to switch trains to find out that because our
\ntrain was late, the other trains we had to make had already left…
\nAnd the next one didn’t come until 4:00 so we scurried around and
\nfound a taxi. 65\u20ac later and at 1:00 we got home… Yes, tired, could have been worse.<\/p>\n

The closing song we sang was “How firm a foundation” and it was really cool (and nice to hear it in English). But I remember how I should remember my foundation, it doesn’t matter that I\u2019m tired, that a church policy was updated, or that I haven\u2019t worn my retainer in a while (I\u2019ll make it fit mom), because I\u2019ve got a foundation. And a pretty solid one at that.<\/p>\n

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
\nI will not, I cannot, desert to his foes;
\nThat soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
\nI\u2019ll never, no never, I\u2019ll never, no never,
\nI\u2019ll never, no never, no never forsake!<\/p>\n

So on P-day we found an abandoned warehouse in the forest…<\/p>\n
