Well Hello!
I can't believe I am a trainer! This is crazy! I get to go around with an American trying to speak to a bunch of Germans in broken German! Wahoo! haha. Actually, it's bad. It is quite a new experience though.
On Tuesday I spent hours in trains going to Berlin, and stayed the night there. It was a good travel, and luckily one of my old companions, Elder Staheli, came with me. Since we were both training, we decided it would be fun to travel together. After staying the night, we woke up and headed over to our trainer training. That didn't last too long, and then we were introduced to the Goldens! I didn't know who my golden was going to be right away like I had expected. It was crazy! They finally read off the name of Elder Hess as being my new Golden to serve with me in Hamburg-Altona! What an awesome experience. Right after the names were read, I ran up to the front and gave him a huge hug (practically tackling him).
Later, we had to wait in the big Berlin Train Station for about an hour before our trains came. We hung out there, and then took off to go to Hamburg. Another 4 hours of trains with a ton of luggage. We traveled a lot with Elder Staheli and Elder Zondler (Elder Staheli's golden) because we were going the same general direction. They even came all the way to Hamburg with us where we went and got Döners! Now, for all of those who don't know what a Döner is: it is a turkan invention, invented in Berlin, and it is pretty similar to perhaps... a burrito. Except that it is put in a sort of bread thing. We went there and Elder Hess had his first Döner!
The week has been great since then. Just a lot of work, and learning. That's what it is all about! I am hoping for another great week this week! Wish me good luck!
