Rachel was able to send last week's e-mail today. I guess she had too many pictures attached and that's why the e-mail didn't send the first time.

last week we walked up to the castle! we didnt go inside because we didnt have enough time but we can walk around it for free all you want! so i took some pictures. man it is BEAUTIFUL here! i never want to leave heidelberg! i dont remember if i've told you but there is a song called I Left My Heart in Heidelberg... my heart totally belongs to heidelberg! its so beautiful!!!! the weather has been awesome! last week it was SO hot but its been cooling down a bit which is nice.

i'm getting my hair cut today! i'm chopping it and i'm really excited about it. theres a guy in the american ward who's really good at cutting hair and he cuts the missionary's hair for free :) so i'm excited... no worries i'll take pictures!

well we've offically given Kai to the american elders... I'm SO SAD! but it went amazingly well... so he met with them at the church on saturday night and they had a great lesson about prayer and finding answers and they committed him to start praying! he came to FHE last night and wondered why we werent there so we booked it over to the church to see him for a bit. hes really investigating the church for the right reasons. he said that he was sad that we werent going to be teaching him anymore but that we'd see eachother at soccer and stuff. Heavenly Father really answered our prayers on that one. Kai is so cool and understanding with everything... its such a miracle! i'm SO excited to see the progress that he makes with the elders. we've become such good friends! when we're both back in the states i'm totally going to stay friends with him!!!

it was interesting we were talking with elder eddy on the phone on saturday after their meeting with Kai and he said that there's a reason why sister ranzenberger and i were sent here... Kai knew who the missionaries were, he had seen elders and one of his best friends is a member. but for some reason he decided to meet with US. we've taken him from just wanting to know a little about the church, to really wanting to find out if it's true. i'm SO glad we found Kai. and even if he doesnt get baptized i'm so glad i know him and that we've become friends...but he will get baptized :) haha
