I’m writing this on the Monday after, so please excuse any errors in tense.

Saturday. The day was mostly spent on the train. We had our interviews with President B and a district meeting all at the same time in Braunschweig (Brunswick). The train took about 2 hours each way. It made me mad, that train, it kept switching directions and I had no idea where it was going. The interview and the meeting all went well. I saw Elder V. He’s serving in the Braunschweig area. When we all got home, or back to Halberstadt, the city was pretty much dead, so we just went home. I got started on making the fry bread. I made two batches. The first batch and a half I made regular size; the last half of the last batch I made half-size. I ended up with 24; we ate the first one; so I got 10 to a batch. They turned out real well. After I go the kitchen partially cleaned up, it was about 23:00. Elder C was talking with Birgit down the hall, alone the whole time, and most of the time in the dark. I felt stupid for leaving them alone. I knew nothing would happen, and nothing did, but you’re not supposed to leave your companion alone like that. Birgit has some real problems, and feels like Elder C is the only one she can talk to, so they were talking for about 2 hours. When I was done with fry bread, I went down and told him we needed to go to bed. We said a prayer and finally came up. I knew we needed to talk, but I didn’t want to. I was afraid that Elder C would be mad and it would destroy our companionship. I was just going to go to sleep, but while I was praying I felt very impressed to talk with him, so I prayed for strength to do it and that all would turn out well. We talked about him and Birgit always talking alone and off in a corner or someplace away from everyone; and how that looks bad to other people. I knew that Birgit just needs someone to talk to, but it looks bad to other people. I think we did a good job of working things out. Oh well. All in all Saturday was alright.
