We sent off<br \/>\nElder Barrios home today and so to mourn we went ice-skating! It was a<br \/>\nblast! We couldn&#8217;t get ourselves off the ice for a couple hours and I<br \/>\ncould say we&#8217;d probably win gold in the Olympics by now!<\/p>\n<p>So this week we were able to meet with the Russian lady. She met us at<br \/>\nthe church and she was super cool and had a lot of questions, we<br \/>\ntaught her the first lesson and it was a really great experience to<br \/>\nhave.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u00a0we were invited over for lunch by an older couple in the<br \/>\nbranch and they fed us just as much potato salad as they always<br \/>\ndo&#8230; too much. And this time they thought they hadn&#8217;t given us<br \/>\nenough last time so they decided to make extra. Well to say the least I<br \/>\nprobably won&#8217;t be eating very many potatoes when I get home&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u00a0morning Bruder Sch\u00fctze and his wife invited us over for our<br \/>\nThanksgiving dinner! Every year they invite the missionaries over<br \/>\nand make them the biggest most American meal they know how and all I<br \/>\ncan say was it was pretty great, they did quite the job.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u00a0evening we went to K\u00f6then and had an activity with the young<br \/>\nmen there. We played soccer, made pizza burgers, and then we finished<br \/>\noff the night with \u201cMeet the Mormons\u201d. It was really cool and there were<br \/>\na lot of young men there. Even one of the boys brought<br \/>\nhomemade firecrackers&#8230; So that made it interesting.<\/p>\n<p>On my mission I\u2019ve really learned to be thankful to be busy. Hopefully<br \/>\nthis week we can keep it that way! Also I know if we trust in<br \/>\nthe Lord we have no reason to worry. That has helped me a lot on my<br \/>\nmission to not to be so stressed about the hard times because I know the<br \/>\nLord will provide away.<\/p>\n<p>Continue in Crescendo<\/p>\n<p>-Elder Winkel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BladesofGlory.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-623\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BladesofGlory-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"BladesofGlory\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BladesofGlory-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BladesofGlory-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BladesofGlory.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sch\u00fctzeThanksgiving.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-624\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sch\u00fctzeThanksgiving-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Sch\u00fctzeThanksgiving\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sch\u00fctzeThanksgiving-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sch\u00fctzeThanksgiving-705x527.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sch\u00fctzeThanksgiving-450x336.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sch\u00fctzeThanksgiving.jpg 910w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Activity.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-625\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Activity-225x300.png\" alt=\"Activity\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Activity-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Activity-450x600.png 450w, https:\/\/www.winkel.org\/hunter_WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Activity.png 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently we are in Magdeburg waiting for Elder Casperson&#8217;s new companion who will arrive\u00a0tomorrow, Elder Brimhall!
