Saturday 12. June 2010 i woke up at 3:50 AM. i know - i'm crazy. it was worth it though. i went to the Freiberg Temple! Since being in Berlin my life has been a bit caotisch. i've had a blast - do not get me wrong. but i haven't exactly had time to chill. I don't read scriptures as often or as in depth as i used to, and i haven't written in my journal at all. AT ALL this is my journal i guess. (with out my deepest darknest secrets ... sorry guys.)
a n y w a y ... so i thought a temple trip would be the perfect thing, Freiberg is about three to four hours (with the train) away, which is why I had to get up at 3:50 so I could be at hauptbahnhof at 5:30. (it takes an hour to get there in the mornings; i left my house at 4:30) my morning started out like this ...
1:00 bed time
... three hours later ...
3:50 woke up
4:25 start to leave house for bus stop
4:26 realize house keys were no where to be found
4:26 - 4:27 frantic search for keys
4:28 leave house without keys, run down street to catch bus
4:30 running down the street
4:31 watch bus come and drive away while still running to the stop
4:32 reach bus stop (when the bus was supposed to get there)
4:33 nice woman asks me where i'm going
4:34 - 5:17 nice woman leads me to hauptbahnhof an alternative way.
5:30 train leave for Freiberg
needless to say (but i'm going to say it anyway) - it was a stressful morning.
living in germany but not of germany
the ladies in the back were definitely drunk, it was definitely 6:00 AM and they were definitely singing. "vee are zee champions my fwrenddd..."

After we spent a few hours at the Temple we made our way back to Berlin ...
but not without souvenirs ... thanks to the burger king.
this group of fine young gentlemen thought mary was just the cutest little thing. so they woke her up from her nap and talked with her for a good hour. They were pretty wasted so i'm sure they don't remember the conversation ... but we documented in on camera!! the second picture is of them after they got of our train. Oh germany and your alcohol. 
seem familiar? Those same five ladies that we witnessed get sloshed on the train that morning where most definitely on our train on the ride home ... what greater blessing really? haha ... please direct your attention to the woman sitting down. she doesn't not look like she feels well. there was no singing of we are the champions on the way home ...
Despite the set back in the morning ... i really liked 12. Samstag Juni 2010
