Sheep Everywhere!

 I have no idea where this year went. I need my Skype info again... ha-ha. 



                       


My investigators are good, but I have a feeling that most of my investigator stories will have to wait until after the mission. We did get invited to a protest the other day. The people were a bit high... ha-ha, we said no. Then we found an inactive member unexpectedly and I found a couple new species of insects. A weird Bee spider thing and a giant ant beetle.




I know some other stuff happened this week, but I don't remember what, ha-ha.  

Thank grandma for the food. All of the sweets are gone, ha-ha. 

 

Oh and my teeth things fall out while I am sleeping, but when they are in my mouth I bet they work wonderful. Sometimes I wake up and it is just gone or on the side of my bed or on the floor or something, ha-ha. 




Love,
Elder Crotts

Train doors...



That's nice that you talked with Elder Santiago's Mom and that you had a wonderful time in Idaho, as for the suit, it just doesn't fit how I would like it to. I have one suit still that I brought with me, but I sent my slip on shoes to England in that big box. What I would really like is some new trousers, because that is what I wear most of the time. 


My new area is beautiful. There are about 23,000 people in Itzehoe and about 11,000 in Glückstadt. The area is technically the Glückstadt area, but we live in Itzehoe and we do work there as well. They aren't that far away from each other. We have one investigator that needs to understand why we as missionaries are there and then we have found a few others that are doing pretty well. The people are relatively nice here. There is a member family that are the coolest. They are going to America this summer for a road trip. Maybe you will run into them, they speak English. 



I Saw sister Pitech this week. that was really fun. she is doing good. and I showed her my subway planner that I made. She worked at subway before her mission. 



This week was pretty good. We made another banner of freedom. I also found Landon a German friend, ha-ha. and possible Kelli a German friend. Same family, both speak English. 



Elder Santiago is my favorite Companion. He has taught me so much, so I am really enjoying it around here. He's super Awesome. Loves finding and has taught me how to find with a purpose, a heart and naturally the spirit. Talking to people is key. looking good is also key ;)


If you want, you can go ahead and send me something for Easter.



How is your diet going? what do you eat?



Love,
Elder Crotts


P.S. What was your favorite talk in conference?

Doing GREAT!!!

The new place is awesome. Completely new apartment. Super cool. The address is... I have no idea. I'll get that for you next week. 


My New companion is really really cool. Such a hard worker and he has so much energy it is ridiculous. He's been sick this last week and he still has more energy than me, ha-ha and his German is fantastic! I've learnt more from him in a week than I have from all my other companions. He is going to study, and already has, graphic design and art history. Which is actually what I have been thinking about for a while now. Graphic design any way. 

Landon works at Home DEPOT??? no one told me this. That's so cool! 


Well, we met with some Members to get to know them. The ward Mission Leader (GML in German) had us over for dinner at his house yesterday after conference. His son recently got back from his mission in Missouri or somewhere like that and the rest of his family is awesome, so awesome. 



We also have found tons of contacts and have a few new investigators that we are excited to work with. 

I am seriously learning so much from Elder Santiago he is basically retraining me. its awesome.



I would love to buy a couple of new sweaters and some khaki style pants. Let me know if that will be possible. I don't know exactly how much it will cost. also, if it would be at all possible... I would love a new suit that actually fits me, ha-ha. That's a long story. The jacket looks like a balloon, ha-ha. If it's not possible I can probably live, but I look like a loser standing next to Elder Santiago with my baggy clothes and the looks are the first impression, pray about it. 



Mother dear I love you. I hope you have a wonderful time in Idaho and next week I expect pictures, ha-ha. 

Love,
Elder Crotts


P.S. My shoes are broken, ha-ha The ones I bought 6 months ago. I don't know.
