Hello everyone!
I
hope you are all having a good week. I am for one. Hard, but good. The
good kind of hard. The kind of hard that challenges you to climb higher.
:)
German thing!
They
say their numbers backwards for some reason. Any time they express a
tens-place number (like sixty or twenty or ninety) they always express
the ones-place number first. Very confusing:
63 - 'three and sixty' (dreiundsechzig)
29 - 'nine and twenty' (neunundzwanzig)
Strange. They even admit themselves that it makes no sense to switch them.

They also do not include spaces in numbers:
82,641 - ' twoandeightythousandsixhundred oneandfourty' ( zweiundachtzigtausendsechhunde rteinundvierzig)
Random experiences!

Spiritual part!
For
the spiritual section, I would like to recommend something that I
recently tried out that I heard from my old companion Elder Tolbert:
writing a letter to God. I decided to try it out after a good evening
where I felt I had learned quite a bit and wanted to talk to God and
thank Him and solidify and understand what I had learned. I went to
someplace quieter and began writing I expressed my thanks as best I
could and began writing to Him. I went slowly, trying to ponder on what I
wanted to say, and listening for what God was telling me. I even wrote
down questions and then would stop and ponder and listen for the ideas
and feelings that came. It was a very special experience. I received a
lot of instruction and of course went to record these feelings and
teachings (for spritual instruction not recorded is spiricual
instruction lost, and one could even say disrespected).
I
encourage you to try this. Make it something real. Take it seriously.
It is just like a very concentrated, deliberate kind of prayer. It will
be cool. :)
I wish you all a wonderful week. :) God be with you. Keep close to the Light you know. :)
