Jena Paradies

By now you all know how much I love this city, so there's not much to say about it. It's the same old University town with the same old DDR housing and the same beautiful streets, parks, everything. Even the main train station is called "Jena Paradies" (german spelling is
actually way better than English spelling by the way)... this week was honestly just a big adventure, and I'm tired.

Monday we had a crazy fitness training/sport night with all the young single adults in the branch, and some non-members. I decided that I like sports a lot more than just random fitness garbage. (If you are reading this and you know who Ian is... don't tell Ian.) but it was a cool experience where I talked to lots of people about their religious history and heard some pretty incredible stories! One guy was actually going to become a monk/priest, and spent a ton of time in a Kloster...cluster?... (no idea in English) but then decided to leave and he has lived all over the world since then, super cool guy.

What else...?
