Waiting and Waiting

So a lot of things have happened since last time I wrote.

Being an EFY counselor was simply the most amazing experience I've ever had.
the first couple of days were pretty silent but still a good experience. After some days I started bonding with the girls i was a counselor/leader for. and i ended up loving every single youth around me and especially my girls and all the youth from my company/group. I realized how wonderful every single of them are and how special they are in their own way.
the spirit was present throught the whole week, but I really felt it at our morning study time when the youth were sitting on a field with the sun shining on the them.

Another time through the week where i really felt the spirit so strong was at our testimony meeting. I was smiling through the whole meeting, and crying like a baby. the spirit was simply incredible and everyone just hugged and cried together afterworth. i can't describe how amazing it was in words, i don't think there excist words enough in the world to describe how special it was

I ended the EFY (especially for youth) week with giving all of my 10 girls (youth) a postcard especially for each of them, telling them how special they are.

On the way home I was sitting in the car just listening to the EFY cd, still feeling the amazing spirit and talking with other counselors/friends about what an amazing experience it had been. surtainly something I'm gonna do right away if i get the chance.

Right after EFY i went to Italy with my parents and sister. I had a great time with them and especially bonding some more with my sister. she is so special to me. i really love her so deeply.

After my vacation in Italy i went to Fest i Nord in Finland. i loved it as always. it was different this year compared to the last 2-3 years but still really great. i were able to spend time with some of my friends that i really care about, meeting new people and making new friends. the dances were maybe not great but at least funny. especially the finnish music.. really special ;)

Since i graduated in june i don't have school anymore, so now I'm just working as much as possible, and preparing to serve my mission.

since there were some missing informations on my mission papers they were stucked in Frankfurt for quite some time, so finally 4 weeks ago i got it worked out and the papers got send to US right away.
So. now I'm just waiting for the call. which is not easy... but hopefully I'll get it soon.

In the meantime I'm working some more, preparing some more, taking a trip to Norway, participating in a temple weekend and a weekend in Sweden to battle of bands

so all in all, life is great ;)
