It's beginning to look like winter

here's the latest from Cameron.  it's pretty cold in Germany. Being an Arizona boy,mthe weather takes a little getting used to.  Everyday i wake up and check the weather and it's in the 30's with rain or snow at least half the week. People from Germany have told me the moisture in the air makes it a particularly biting cold. He told us their apartment heater has been out for a while and they have not been able to get it fixed so he's truly getting to enjoy the full scope of the weather. 

"Funny story I actually just got boots today, a member gave us some extra military boots, hopefully that works with missionary attire :) Ipads are a rough subject over here. according to the church we should have had them by next month, but the word from up top is that earliest would be april :P 

I got quite a few thanksgiving meals yesterday so I'm good with food :) 

so we spent P-day playing around with really expensive stuff :) really cool stuff that boys love. I got to wear the Bomb suit and it was quite fun and Heavy! but Elder cole and our member took turns kicking me and I couldn't feel a thing, so I guess it works :) "

I don't think this week will be as chilly for me as last week. So we have a car, but last week we had to turn it in for a few days for repairs, guess what happened the MOMENT we started riding our bikes home from the dealership? IT FLIPPIN' SNOWED!!! just my luck :) we spent a lot of time traveling in our area (one day we spent about nine hours just walking and trying to catch the few trains there are around here). but now we have our car so we are very thankful :) 

also I don't think I'll ever get that package but who knows :) (I accidentally sent Cameron's birthday to the wrong address so somebody else is enjoying his presents :()

Elise better not start dating until I get home. (Fat chance.  His sister Elise just turned 16 and is now allowed to date and already has a few lined up - mom and dad aren't ready for it either)

I always find it interesting that we Judge Peter at all in that story. Of all the disciples he was the only one with the faith to go and meet Jesus on the water. so if you feel like you are Peter in that story I would say that you are well off. ( I was letting Cameron now how sometimes I feel like Peter in that I have faith and I have witnessed things in my life that confirm my testimony with out a doubt. But just like Peter who saw Jesus walk on water and walked on it himself he started to fear and doubt and sink and how important it is to call out for help to The Lord when we are troubled.  I had never thought of how it's true that Peter did have the faith to jump)

Dad should grow out his beard until I get home. Don't let him shave it until then. (Michael started to grow a beard for Noshavember. It looks pretty sweet and we sent Elder Brande a pic- Michael says its going pretty soon)


So Elder Brande and Elder Cole got to do some pretty neat stuff at the military base. He says they were able to maneuver the bomb robot. Below is a picture of him in a bomb suit. The suit weighs 80lbs and the helmet weighs about 20. He sent us some hilarious video of Elder Cole trying to kick him in the suit and him trying to do a pull up.  It seems like they had a lot of fun. It was super nice of one of the members to take them on base



Tell Everyone Hi.

Love you
