Dear Family,

Wow, summer officially started this week, on May 20th to be exact.  The weather has been so nice and even a little too warm at times, but I love it.  It's warm during the day and cools down at night, and then we have a thunderstorm, crazy wind, and a lot of rain all night.  Then it is beautiful sunny and green the next morning.  I LOVE HAMBURG!  Today after emails and grocery shopping we are going to go sit at the beach by our church.

Yesterday was ward conference.  Everything went so well!  Ha, traveling to church in Germany is so much harder than it was in Orem.  Yesterday was nice.  We didn't have to be at church so early.  Sunday morning for us is getting up at the usual 6:30, getting ready and heading out the door at 7:30, picking up some people and catching our 8:05 bus to the bahn, and then bahn to another bus, and then 5 minute walk to the church.  Haha, I will never complain about it being ''hard'' to get to church, especially when I have a car again.  Ok, ward conference; we had some awesome talks and lessons from members of the ward.  The theme for the stake this year is from 3 Nephi 18, about being a light for the world.  After church we had a ward lunch.  We have some great cooks and it was great talking with so many members and introducing new and less active members to each other.

On Saturday we had an activity with some young single adults in the stake. We went on splits in hopes of meeting with less active YSA.  The appointments fell out so we met with some other people.  Great experience for all involved, we learned a lot and it was fun helping the YSA’s get excited about serving missions and member missionary work.

We are getting ready for the Mission Tour Zone Conference next week by gathering family history info.  I’m sorry it has been so much work for you sending me everything, but I really appreciate it.  There is so much excitement about family history and temple work!  I am so grateful for the gospel!  There is so much peace in knowing that this life is not the end and that we can be together as families for eternity.  I also am so excited to be more involved with family history stuff when I get home.

Thank you for everything!!  I love you all so much!!!!!!!  Have a fantastic weeek!

Liebe GrÜße
